We thank the University of Colorado x-ray laboratory personnel for the flne work they did analyzing these samples. We thank the Berkeley oil shale group for the opportunity to study the results of their analyses prior to publication. The help of TOSCO Corporation in providing samples and use of their Fischer assay facilities also is appreciated. The reviews of P. Fox and G. Desborough substantially improved the manuscript. Finally, we thank the ERDA for their flnancial support of this study under Grant No. GOO-4017-1.

TOSCOAL [The Oil Shale Corporation] A low-temperature carbonization process for producing liquid fuels from oil shales. Developed by the Oil Shale Corporation in the 1960s. See TOSCO II. 

The oil shale samples and the crude shale oil used in this study were obtained from TOSCO (The Oil Shale Corporation), Golden, Golorado. 

The Fischer assay is a standardized laboratory test in which an oil shale sample is retorted at 500°C to determine its oil yield. It provides a measure of the grade of oil shale being processed. Commercial processes such as The Oil Shale Corporation s TOSCO II process give oil recoveries (synthetic crude or syncrude) of up to 100% of the Fischer assay. Oil and gas formation from...

Any complex code, such as YAQUI, must be calibrated and verified by comparing calculations with the results of realistic field experiments. A series of explosive field tests using ANFO in oil shale has been conducted in the Colony Mine near Rifle, Colorado. These experiments were performed under DOE auspices with the cooperation of Atlantic Richfield, TOSCO, and the Colony Development Corporation. They were conducted for comparison with code calculations and to obtain empirical information about blasting in oil shale.
