Description:

Abstract:

This dataset represents the "most geologically prospective" area for oil shale in the Piceance Basin of Colorado. It has been determined by various sources to have an overburden at least 25 feet thick that could produce 25 gallons per ton, and was used as the study area in the Oil Shale / Tar Sands Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (OSTS PEIS) being prepared by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

Purpose:

This dataset was used for map supporting the OSTS PEIS and as a base for developing allowable lease footprints for oil shale for each alternative.
