The major activities at OOSI's Logan Wash site during the quarter were: driving the access drifts towards the underground locations for Retorts 7 and 8; manway raise boring; constructing the change house; rubbling the first lift of Mini-Retort (MR)1; preparing the Mini-Retorts for tracer testing; coring of Retort 3E; and beginning the DOE instrumentation program.

The major activities at OOSI's Logan Wash site during the quarter were: mining the voids at all levels for Retorts 7 and 8; blasthole drilling; tracer testing MR4; conducting the start-up and burner tests on MR3; continuing the surface facility construction; and conducting Retorts 7 and 8 related Rock Fragmentation tests. Environmental monitoring continued during the quarter, and the data and analyses are discussed. Sandia National Laboratory and Laramie Energy Technology Center (LETC) personnel were active in the DOE support of the MR3 burner and start-up tests. In the last section of this report the final oil inventory for Retort 6 production is detailed. The total oil produced by Retort 6 was 55,696 barrels.

Objectives are to: construct, tracer/flow test, and simultaneously process two side-by-side large scale retorts (Retorts 7 and 8) formed by blasting to a horizontal free face; conduct small-scale start up tests, prior to ignition of Retorts 7 and 8, on at least two quarter size retorts (miniretorts); develop mine stability data for commercial size retorts; develop and test advanced retort ignition systems; collect evaluate and report environmental data; and test special mining and remote sensing equipment. This quarterly report covers the activities for the first three months of the Phase II Program. The major activities at Logan Wash and on Phase II during the months of June, July, and August were: driving the access and ventilation drifts towards the underground locations for Retorts 7 and 8; beginning construction for surface facilities; mining the rooms for the mini retorts; and developing an instrumentation program for DOE funding.
