The Tract is leased to Occidental Oil Shale Company, Inc. under U.S. Department of Interior Lease Number C-20341. It is managed by the equal-interest partnership between Occidental and Tenneco Shale Oil Company, doing business as Cathedral Bluffs Shale Oil Company. The Tract is located in Rio Blanco County in the Piceance Creek basin of northwestern Colorado. The project schedule for 1982 contained herein reflects the December, 1981 announcement that the entire project was being reassessed in view of current increased construction costs, reduced oil prices and high interest rates"--page 1.
