<br />The estimates by Svenska Skifferolje are very conserva-
<br />
<br />
<br />t~ve since many of the larger deposits have been ~nadequate-
<br />
<br />
<br />ly surveyed. As more information becomes available, these
<br />
<br />
<br />reserves will increase. For ~nstance, United States
<br />
<br />
<br />reserves alone now are estimated at 1.5 trillion barrels or
<br />
<br />
<br />about 200 billion metr~c tons (19). It seems within reason

<br />
<br />that the world's recoverable shale oil reserves may
