dc.description.abstractThe image shows buildings and a conveyor in the foreground at the Rifle oil shale plant. The Anvil Points Oil Shale Research Center plant, near Rifle, Colorado, was built by the U.S. Bureau of Mines in 1947 and operated as an experimental and demonstration facility until 1956. The Department of the Interior leased the plant to the Colorado School of Mines Research Foundation in 1964. The CSM Research Foundation contracted with several oil companies to direct a research program there on the economic extraction of oil from shale.
