Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book compiles two major investigations into the oil-shale industry in Scotland, conducted in the early 20th century. Dispatched from Canada as part of a potential shale mining venture, a quantity of oil shale was tested by a Pumpherston Oil Company and the data logged. The second investigation involved a detailed study of the Scottish oil-shale industry, its expansion, cost of operations, and profitability. The data is presented in two parts: the first is the official report into the Canadian oil shale, the second is a treatise on the Scottish industry. It is an invaluable document for anyone interested in the history of Scotland's oil shale industry, or the potential development of an oil shale industry elsewhere in the world.
