"The White River Shale Project (WRSP) is a joint project of Phillips Petroleum Company, Sunoco Energy Development Company, and Sohio Shale Oil Company. The intent of these owners is to develop Federal Oil Shale Lease Tracts Ua and Ub in northeastern Utah to produce commercial quantities of shale oil. The project is planned for phased development over 12 years (1981 to 1993), at which time full commercial production will be achieved. Commercial operation will continue until the on-tract resources are exhausted. This is expected to occur in 2007. However, availability of other nearby oil shale resources may extend the life of the project substantially. Phase I will consist of an underground mine, surface retorting in one Union B and one Superior retort, onsite upgrading of the shale oil, and transportation of approximately 14,840 barrels per stream day (BPSD) of synthetic crude oil off site by pipeline. The capacities of the retorts are 11,600 tons per stream day (TPSD) for the Union B retort and 13,000 TPSD for the Superior retort. Phases II and III will follow the same general plan, and the ultimate full commercial plant will include one 13,000 TPSD Superior retort, four 11,600 TPSD Union B retorts, four 25,000 TPSD Superior retorts, and two 9,700 TPSD TOSCO II fines retorts. Total shipped production will be approximately 56,875 BPSD in Phase II, and 106,300 BPSD in Phase III."
