• Date: 9/4/2007
• Basin Roundtables - Doc Type: Needs Assessment Documents

Deliverable Phase Date
December 2007 – September 2008
Task 2.1.1 – Development of three
02/18/ 08**
different scenarios each representing
different natural gas and oil shale

techniques and production rates.

Task 2.1.2 – Table outlining the
number of workers needed for each
03/17/08**
energy extraction process.
Demographic data supporting these

numbers will be combined into this
table, along with additional

information gathered during the
survey.

Alternatives Development
Task 2.1.3 - Table outlining the
03/17/08
various types of energy technologies

and electrical demands for each
energy conversion and supporting

processes. This table will include the
electrical demands of the various

development scenarios for various
operations producing 100,000 barrels

per day (demanding approximately
1.2 gigawatts of dedicated electric

generating capacity. A summary of
the electrical providers gathered

during the survey will also be
provided.
