Schamel Given the very limited amount and scope of information in the literature relevant to Utah's black shales, the 'screening criteria' that could be applied in this project, in most instances, was limited to just (1) organic richness and maturity of the black shale, (2) thickness of the kerogen rich interval, (3) likelihood of natural and induced fracturing, determined subjectively, and (4) potential barriers to hydraulic fracturing, or
