Vegetation mostly blue sage is sparse here to begin with, but from what I could see, it seemed to be spreading across the area where the unprocessed shale had been dumped. The chairman and chief executive of Occidental Petroleum, Armand Hammer, said that his company "intends to move forward immediately toward production of 50,000 barrels a day " That level should be reached in 1983 on tract C-Occidental believes it can produce shale oil for $8 to $11 a barrel "approximately half the cost of above-groun- d methods," said Hammer which is several dollars less than the current price of imported oil.
