Abstract
The papers delivered at the Hydrocarbons Symposium in Denver on February 18 and 19, 1970, are presented in this volume. All phases of the search for commercial processes for the production of synthetic liquid fuels from oil shales, tar sands, and coal are included. This symposium and its predecessor, the Oil Shale Symposium, have served to bring together people working in all areas of the synthetic fuel industry and to acquaint them with the legal, real estate, water, and political problems as well as technical questions. This industry is still struggling to get established and many of its major problems are legal and political rather than technical. Thanks are extended to the authors for presenting their papers and to their companies for permitting the information to be released. These symposia have been successful and worthwhile owing to their efforts and those of the Hydrocarbons Committee of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers. Sponsored by the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers, the Colorado School of Mines, and the Colorado School of Mines Research Institute / Includes bibliographical references.
