"Oil shale is presumed to be the source of practically all of the abundant bituminous and petroleum deposits in Uintah County (Hunt, 1954, and Paper 24) and the recoverable shale oil reserves locked up in the deposits of eastern Uintah County are estimated to exceed 14.5 billion barrels (Cashion, 1956). Shales yielding over 45 gallons of oil per ton of rock are not uncommon in certain parts of the area. Some of the oil-shale zones are hundreds of feet thick near the center of the basin and undoubtedly will be exploited sometime in the future.
