BERTHELSON: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />..I'..&.U:7 <br /> <br />apprcval, than it wculd to cbtain apprcval. As <br />a matter of fact, if it was necessary, we could <br />probably de it by telephcne in cne day." <br /> <br />"Any further questicns cf Mr. Odell? Mr . <br />Berthelsen." <br /> <br />"l.tt. Chairman, I refer tc the bcttcm cf <br />page 1 cf the report in reference tc the frac- <br />turing cf cil shale and this 3,300 gallcn figure. <br />lihat is the significance cf this? Is this gocd <br />cr bad or are you in a position tc ccmment on <br />it? Are ycu enccuraged?" <br /> <br />"I'll call en my grcund water expert tc <br />tell ycu abcut the meaning cf that. Lecnard, <br />wculd ycu take that, please?" <br /> <br />"Mr. Berthelsen, this figure indicates that <br />there is water in the oil shale which can be <br />geed or bad. Fer a water supply, it is a <br />little better than what a lot of pecple had <br />thcught but fer as far as mining, cr in situ <br />retcrting, cr any reccvery of cil frcm the <br />shale, it's a prcblem and it's one that these <br />ccmpanies hadn.' t realized they were gcing to <br />have to face." <br /> <br />"This just prcves that there is water in <br />the cil shale and when they gc tc heating it <br />there will be a problem probably." <br /> <br />"Yes, sir. There'll be water when they <br />try tc retort the oil." <br /> <br />"Thank you," <br /> <br />"Any questions frcm <br />on the U.S.G.S. repcrt? <br />Mr. Odell. <br /> <br />members of the audience <br />Thank ycu very much, <br /> <br />Ne have a repcrt from the Army Ccrps cf <br />Engineers at Albuquerque. There is nc cne here <br />tc present the repcrt. Are there any ccmments <br />you have, Larry, en this report?" <br />
