Orphaned references in History of the oil shale industry[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of History of the oil shale industry's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "DOE":

  • From Occidental Petroleum: "Secure Fuels from Domestic Resources: The Continuing Evolution of America's Oil Shale and Tar Sands Industries" (PDF). United States Department of Energy, Office of Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves. 2007: 3, 8, 16–17, 22–29, 36–37, 40–43, 54–57.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:54, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

British Crown patent[edit]

It seems that reporting by Louw and Addison that the Patent No. 330 was issued to Becker and Serle in 1684 for the production of "oyle from a kind of stone" is incorrect as other sources says that the Patent No. 330 was issued to Martin Eele, Thomas Hancock and William Portlock who had "found a way to extract and make great quantities of pitch, tarr, and oyle out of a sort of stone.". It is true that in 1681 Becker and Serle got a patent for carbonizing coal to produce pitch, tar, and smokeless fuel; however, it was about coal and not about oil shale, although the distinction of these sources was not clearly established that time. Therefore I changed the text to refer to the patent of 1694. Beagel (talk) 15:12, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
