<br />373a <br /> <br />RUEDI DAM AND RESERVOIR, COLO; <br /> <br />37 <br /> <br />, " <br /> <br />The estimated timing- ami rate of de\'elop,~eI1.t of the shale in- <br />dustry as shown in the Cameron & .Tones report was bns~d on normal <br />economic a1\d political condit.ions without the stimulatIOn of a. na- <br />tional emergeney. Should a nat.ional emergency occnt', the I'llte of <br />oil shale develo!)lllent would undonbtedly be accelerated. <br />No quantitative estimates of oil shale development bey.ond 1975 <br />were made in the Cameron &, .Jones report. The report IndIcated, <br />howt'.\'('r, that there win be an ever-inereasing demand for oil and <br />that it is reasonable to assume that shale oil production will con- <br />tinue to increase beyoncllfJ7tl. It was estimated that oil shale reserves <br />are adequate to JIla.intain shale oil production at it rate of nearly 6 <br />million barrels per da.y for a minimum period of 40 years. <br /> <br />lVa.to' l'~fjnil'ement.'? .fO}' oil f!.ha1e dc-velopme-nt, <br />Little water would be adun]]y ('ollsumed in oil shale mlJllJlg and <br />ret.orting operations but. substnntitd amounts of water would be nec- <br />essary for refining-. sl'_l'\'ice indust.ries, and reside,ntial Hreas.
