".....Both companies have proposed in-situ projects in which kerogen would be heated in place underground to produce oil. The processes would take place deeper than freshwater aquifers, in formations isolated from them, to minimize groundwater impacts.
“RD&D leases provide the opportunity for industry to test and develop technologies to determine whether they can be viable on a commercial scale,” Kent Walter, field manager of the BLM’s White River Field Office, said in a news release. “This critical research, development and demonstration work will also help us answer important questions about the water demands and potential impacts of commercial-scale development, so that we can forge a responsible and orderly path forward if the technology proves viable.”
