Norton off to hectic start on first day


BYLINE: By Bill McAllister, Denver Post Washington Bureau Chief,

SECTION: A SECTION; Pg. A-06

LENGTH: 755 words

WASHINGTON - Interior Secretary Gale Norton spent her first day in office
Wednesday meeting with the Bush cabinet, talking to Western governors and
admiring the view from her spacious seventh-floor suite.

'It's pretty wild, just walking in here,' the Denver lawyer said, recalling
her previous visits to the office when she was an Interior employee in the
mid-1980s. 'It's just so amazing to come here and think of this as my office.'

And the view?

'A stunning view. I didn't realize how much of Washington you can see from
up here,' she said. 'It's great.'

But as Norton recounted her first day in office, it was clear she didn't
spend much time gazing out the window.

Indeed, she wasn't in the sprawling Interior Building for much of the day.
She began with a morning appearance on CNN, where she lamented missing
Colorado's 'best ski season in years.'

Then she dashed over to the White House, where she, Labor Secretary Elaine
Chao and Environmental Protection Agency chief Christine Todd Whitman were
sworn into office in a low-key ceremony by the White House executive clerk.

The 'informal swearing in,' as Norton called it, was witnessed by her
parents, Dale and Jackie Norton of Wichita, but not her husband, who remained
in Highlands Ranch packing up their belongings for the move to Washington.

A more formal ceremony, which her husband will attend, will be held later,
she said. White House aides say Wednesday's oath made Norton the secretary in
fact, enabling her to sign documents as secretary.

One of Norton's first acts was to call Western governors and assure them she
wants their ideas. 'I definitely plan to work with the governors, not just
Western governors, but all the governors,' she said.

The governors will be handling 'many of the same balancing issues that I
will be handling,' Norton told reporters. The balancing is between the need to
develop new sources of energy and preserving the environment, an issue that
Page 2
Norton off to hectic start on first day The Denver Post February 1, 2001
Thursday

dominated her confirmation hearings.

After giving the governors her assurances, Norton did the same to a meeting
of the career civil servants who are managing Interior's major agencies until
Bush administration nominees can be installed.

'I was pleased to see many of the people I had known when I worked here,'
she said. 'I told them, first of all, that I want to have input from them.'

The afternoon cabinet meeting was 'obviously thrilling,' Norton said, adding
that she had met many of her fellow secretaries during the transition period
and now wanted to work with them on various issues.

'Our first task is going to be to ensure that the budget reflects the
president's priorities,' Norton said, repeating some of the pep talk that Bush
gave his cabinet. To help the president's tax package win public support,
Interior will 'try to be as financially responsible as possible,' she said.

'From the cabinet's point of view, one of the greatest challenges we face is
trying to restore a sense of bipartisanship in Washington,' she said. 'The
president is very commited to working with people across party lines.'

Norton said she wanted her department to do that, too. She disclosed that
she had met with several leaders of environmental groups during the transition.
Many of the major national groups opposed her nomination, but Norton declined
to name the groups with which she had conferred.

But even as she spoke, some of her opponents were still attempting to
question her efforts.

'There's always hope that Gale Norton will turn out better than we fear,'
Charles Clusen, a senior policy analyst for the National Resources Defense
Council, told reporters in a conference call.

But the NRDC nonetheless remains fearful what Norton will do to the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge, the Everglades and Yellowstone National Park in
Wyoming.

At Yellowstone, Clusen said, there is a good chance the Bush administration


will attempt to scuttle a ban on snowmobiling in the park that the Clinton
administration recently imposed. The ban is to become effective in two years,
and Clusen said that gives Norton time to reverse the policy.

When asked her priorities for Interior, Norton mentioned the $ 5 billion
backlog of maintenance work in the national parks as one of her 'primary
commitments.' As she put it: 'We need to support those things that get worn
out.'

Ex-Interior Secretary Norton to join Shell as


counsel amid increasing scrutiny of oil deals
SECTION: BUSINESS NEWS

LENGTH: 225 words

DATELINE: HOUSTON

Royal Dutch Shell PLC Wednesday said it hired Gale Norton, who stepped down
as interior secretary on March 31, to serve as a counsel for the oil company.

Norton will be based primarily in Colorado, and will serve as general counsel
for a Shell division that's developing technology to enhance oil recovery oil
shale and extra heavy oil, Shell spokeswoman Destin Singleton said in a
statement.

The move comes amid rising scrutiny on Capitol Hill of Norton's former
agency's dealings with the oil industry. With the Democratic takeover of
Congress, leading lawmakers have signaled they will closely scrutinize the
Interior Department's policies for collecting oil and gas royalties from public
lands.

The Minerals Management Service has come in for particular criticism, after
agency omissions excused the oil industry from paying royalties on Gulf of
Mexico leases. Incoming Democratic committee chairmen plan hearings on the
matter.

Shell, historically one of the biggest industry players in the Gulf of


Mexico, was one of five oil companies that reached an agreement with the MMS on
Dec. 14 to pay royalties on the 1998 and 1999 leases. An MMS spokesman said lost
royalties from the leases amounted to $900 million, but other reports have
quoted much higher figures. A Government Accountability Office report said the
MMS omission cost taxpayers $10 billion.

Norton to End 5-Year Tenure at Interior;


Secretary Says Resignation Is Unrelated to Probe
of Abramoff's Ties to Department
BYLINE: Juliet Eilperin, Washington Post Staff Writer

SECTION: A Section; A02

LENGTH: 994 words

Gale A. Norton, who as secretary of the interior reopened Yellowstone


National Park to snowmobiles and pushed for greater energy development on public
land, announced yesterday that she will relinquish her post by the end of the
month.

Norton won plaudits from business leaders but earned the enmity of many
environmentalists during her often contentious five-year tenure. She said she
has no immediate plans but expects to work in the private sector and spend more
time in the West.

"I look forward to visiting a national park and not holding a press
conference in there," said Norton, who turns 52 today and has served at the
Interior Department longer than all but six of her predecessors. "I look forward
to being able to contemplate the wilderness without having reporters and their
notebooks following me."

Norton's resignation comes as a federal criminal task force continues to


investigate former GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff's dealings with her department.
The task force is examining, among other issues, former deputy secretary J.
Steven Griles's discussions with Abramoff at a time when the lobbyist was
seeking departmental actions on behalf of his tribal clients. Abramoff has
pleaded guilty to federal charges of political corruption.

Norton said the probe did not play a role in her decision to step down and
added later: "I want to return to having a private life again."

A Kansas native who moved to Colorado when she was 5, Norton spoke often

Saturday

about her love of wilderness and went canoeing with D.C. area schoolchildren to
promote outdoor recreation. But environmentalists decried several of her
policies, including allowing snowmobiling that they said prompted endangered
woodland caribou to flee Idaho for Canada, and failing to reduce a National Park
Service maintenance backlog that may total $9.7 billion. Environmentalists also
accused of Norton of weakening enforcement of the Endangered Species Act.

Rodger Schlickeisen, president of the advocacy group Defenders of Wildlife,


issued a terse news release on learning of Norton's departure: "Good riddance."

Some conservative groups praised Norton's emphasis on "cooperative


conservation," in which federal and private groups gave landowners financial
incentives to preserve their property.

"We have been honored to work closely with Secretary Norton to enhance and
expand a number of key cooperative conservation efforts," said Nature
Conservancy President Steven J. McCormick, who added that the department's
initiatives "brought new investments in private land conservation and fostered
numerous productive public-private partnerships to conserve ecologically
important landscapes across the country."

Norton played more of a bad-cop role in her dealings with Western states
squabbling over the region's scarce water supply, forcing California to give up
some of its Colorado River water. Last month, her tough bargaining helped
persuade seven states -- Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico,
Utah and Wyoming -- to reach a pact on how to deal with water shortages from
the Colorado and manage the river's reservoirs.

Like other members of President Bush's Cabinet, Norton pressed repeatedly


for greater domestic oil and gas drilling.

Yesterday she touted the government's boosting of natural gas production on


federal lands by 17 percent between 2001 and 2004, which prompted National
Association of Manufacturers President John M. Engler to praise Norton for
having "steered the U.S. toward a foundation for future domestic energy
production."

Rep. Tom Udall (D-N.M.), a member of the Resources Committee who has known
Norton since they served as their states' respective attorneys general in the
1990s, said the aggressive drive for energy development angered residents of the
West and harmed the region's wildlife.

"We've remained friends, but we've disagreed on most of her policy agenda,"
Udall said. "The legacy of this administration has been reversing 40 years of
progress on the environment."

Bush praised Norton as "a strong advocate for the wise use and protection of
our nation's natural resources." White House and Interior Department officials
gave no indication of who might succeed Norton, and Udall said it may "be hard
to find a person of stature" now that Bush has less than three years left in
office.

In a telephone conference with reporters, Norton defended Griles, her former


deputy. Federal investigators are looking into Griles's possible attempts to
intervene on behalf of Abramoff, according to lawyers and others familiar with
the investigation.

Saturday

"I know that Steve Griles was a great asset for this department, and what I
saw of his conduct was aboveboard and very conscientious," she said.

Also under investigation is Norton's friend Italia Federici and a public


interest group she heads -- the Council of Republicans for Environmental
Advocacy, known as CREA -- which Norton co-founded with conservative anti-tax
advocate Grover Norquist in the 1990s.

In an attempt to influence the Interior Department -- which has the final


say on an Indian tribe's gambling ambitions -- Abramoff developed close ties
with Federici and directed his casino-rich tribal clients to give $500,000 to
CREA. Federici had a personal relationship with Griles and often agreed to press
him on issues important to Abramoff's clients, according to e-mail obtained by
The Washington Post and investigators for the Senate Indian Affairs Committee.

Chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.) has said his committee has found no evidence
Norton knew that Abramoff and Federici were trading on her name, and Norton's
spokesman has said Norton was not aware of their activities in trying to
influence the department.

Griles's attorney declined to comment on the investigation yesterday, and


Federici's lawyer did not return a call seeking comment.

Staff writers James V. Grimaldi and Susan Schmidt and researcher Don Pohlman
contributed to this report.

Norton will join Royal Dutch Shell The former


Interior secretary has taken a job in Colorado as
a general counsel in the unit working to recover
oil from shale.
BYLINE: Steve McMillan Denver Post Staff Writer

SECTION: BUSINESS; Pg. C-01

LENGTH: 593 words

Former Interior Secretary Gale Norton will join oil giant Royal Dutch Shell
as a general counsel in its exploration and production business in mid-January,
working primarily out of Colorado.

Norton, who stepped down from Interior in March, is a longtime Colorado


resident who served two terms as state attorney general in the 1990s. During her
tenure at Interior, she drew fire from environmentalists and praise from
industry groups.

Shell said in a statement Wednesday that Norton, 52, will "provide and
coordinate legal services" for its unconventional-resources unit, which is
developing and testing proprietary technology to recover oil from shale and
extra-heavy oils.

Colorado, Utah and Wyoming have massive oil- shale deposits, with as much as
1.1 trillion barrels of oil technically recoverable.

Shell owns 40,000 acres of oil-shale deposits near Meeker on which it hopes
to begin commercial production by about 2015.

When Norton left Interior after five years, she said her primary reason was
so she and her husband, John Hughes, could return to "the mountains we love in
the West," as well as return to the private sector.

Norton could not be reached for comment.

Royal Dutch Shell is a multinational oil company with corporate headquarters


in The Hague, Netherlands. Its U.S. subsidiary, Shell Oil Co., is based in
Houston. The Forbes Global 2000 ranked Royal Dutch Shell as the seventh-largest
company in the world in 2006. Its revenues in 2005 were $307 billion.

As Interior secretary, Norton was attacked by environmentalists for her

pro-development policies regarding oil and gas, coal and timber. She also
reopened Yellowstone National Park to snowmobiles.

Matt Baker, director of Environment Colorado, said he was disheartened by


Shell's hiring of Norton.

He said his organization has done a lot of work with Shell on sustainability
issues, particularly development of wind-powered energy resources.

"I think it's unsettling if she's going to be working on oil shale. Shell has
cultivated an image as a good environmental steward who wants to take its time
and do it right," he said. "For them to hire someone like Gale Norton undermines
that claim."

Industry advocates and Norton's fellow Republicans, however, have praised her
as a realist willing to open public lands to drilling during a time of energy
shortages that threatened the economy.

Before moving to Interior, Norton was senior counsel at Denver law firm
Brownstein, Hyatt & Farber.

Steve Farber, one of the firm's founding partners, said Norton's move is
win-win: Shell will benefit from Norton's skills, and Norton will have the
opportunity to return to Colorado.

"She (has) a wonderful wealth of knowledge and experience, and she will be a
great asset to the team at Shell," he said.

Shale oil's time may have arrived;


Experts cite new technology, high crude prices
BYLINE: JOE CARROLL, Bloomberg News

SECTION: BUSINESS; Pg. 2

LENGTH: 1020 words

Colorado and Utah have as much oil as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela,
Nigeria, Kuwait, Libya, Angola, Algeria, Indonesia, Qatar and the United Arab
Emirates combined.

That's not science fiction. Trapped in limestone up to 200 feet thick in the
two Rocky Mountain states is enough so-called shale oil to rival OPEC and supply
the U.S. for a century.

Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp., the two biggest U.S. energy companies,
and Royal Dutch Shell are spending $100 million a year testing new methods to
separate the oil from the stone for as little as $30 a barrel. A growing number
of industry executives and analysts say new technology and high prices make the
idea feasible.

"The breakthrough is that now the oil companies have a way of getting this
oil out of the ground without the massive energy and manpower costs that killed
these projects in the 1970s," said Pete Stark, an analyst at IHS, an Englewood,
Colo., research firm. "All the shale rocks in the world are going to be
revisited now to see how much oil they contain."

The U.S. imports two-thirds of its oil, spending $300 billion a year, or 40
percent of the record trade deficit. Every $10 increase in a barrel of crude
costs an American household $700 a year, according to the Rand Corp., founded in
1946 to provide research for the U.S. military. Oil prices have risen 63 percent
since 2004 and higher fuel costs have slowed growth in the world's largest
economy to the lowest in four years.

The last effort to exploit the Colorado and Utah shale fields foundered in
the 1980s after crude prices tumbled 72 percent, resulting in a
multibillion-dollar loss for Exxon. Techniques developed to coax crude from tar
sands in Alberta, 1,600 miles to the north, may help the U.S. projects'
engineers.

Cooking the shale

"The potential for shale is large," said Joseph Stanislaw, senior energy
adviser for Deloitte & Touche and co-author with oil analyst Daniel Yergin of
The Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy. "Assuming the
technology proves out, the size and scale of the reserves are significant."

Energy providers are investing in shale oil production because the reserves
are large enough to generate higher returns than smaller fields in Oklahoma and
Texas, where output is declining after eight decades.

Shale is also a more attractive investment than new U.S. refineries, which
Shell and Chevron say may lose money as rising use of crop-based fuels such as
ethanol lowers domestic gasoline demand. Exxon says it isn't interested in
building new fuel plants in the U.S. because the company expects North American
fuel consumption to peak by 2025.

"You're going to build refineries where demand is increasing, and that's the
developing world," Scott Nauman, Exxon Mobil's manager of economics and energy
planning, said in a May 18 presentation at a University of Chicago oil
conference.

Shell's project

In the high desert near Rifle, Colo., Shell engineers are burying hundreds of
steel rods 2,000 feet underground that will heat the shale to 700 degrees
Fahrenheit, a temperature at which Teflon melts.

The heat will be applied for the next four years to convert the hydrocarbons
from dead plants and plankton, once part of a prehistoric lake, into
high-quality crude that is equal parts jet fuel, diesel and naphtha, the main
ingredient in gasoline.

Chevron, which helped build the Saudi Arabian energy industry when it struck
oil in the kingdom in 1938, plans to shatter 200-foot thick layers of shale deep
underground, said Robert Lestz, the company's oil-shale technology manager.

Rather than using heat to transform the shale into crude, Chevron plans to
saturate the rubble with chemicals to convert it. The method will reduce power
needs and production costs, Lestz said.

Using chemical reactions to get oil from shale also means fewer byproducts
such as ash and fewer greenhouse gases, he said.

`Brute force'

Chevron scientists are working with researchers at the Los Alamos National
Laboratory in New Mexico to determine which chemicals work best for converting
shale to crude oil. Shell's heating technique amounts to "a brute-force
approach," said Lestz, who is based in Houston.

Raytheon Co., the maker of Tomahawk missiles and the first microwave ovens,
is developing a process that would use radio waves to cook the shale.

Irving-based Exxon Mobil plans to shoot particles of petroleum coke, a waste


byproduct of oil refining, into cracks in the shale. The coke will be
electrically charged to create a subterranean hot plate that will cook the shale
until it turns into crude.
Page 3
Shale oil's time may have arrived; Experts cite new technology, high crude
prices The Houston Chronicle June 3, 2007 Sunday

"These are quite remarkable technological approaches," said Jeremy Boak, a


geologist at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, who spent 11 years cleaning
up radioactive waste and disposing of weapons-grade plutonium at U.S. government
sites. "The oil companies don't have the exploration problem of finding
resources to drill. We know the oil is here. It's just a matter of getting it
out."

U.S. oil shale deposits likely hold 1.5 trillion barrels of oil, according to
Jack Dyni, a geologist emeritus at the U.S. Geological Survey. All 12 OPEC
countries combined have proven crude oil reserves of about 911 billion barrels,
led by Saudi Arabia, with 264.2 billion barrels, according to statistics
compiled by BP.

Skeptics of the potential for shale oil include Cathy Kay, an organizer for
the environmental group Western Colorado Congress, who says the techniques will
drain water supplies, scar the landscape and require so much power the skies
will be choked with smoke from coal-fed generators.

"They are going to do absolutely massive environmental damage," said Kay, a


South African native who's been spearheading the Grand Junction, Colo., group's
anti-shale campaign since September.

"Why don't these companies invest these giant sums of money developing the
cheapest, cleverest solar panel or geothermal process, instead of chasing this
elusive oil?" Kay asked.

Shell, based in the Hague, estimates it can extract oil from Colorado shale
for $30 a barrel, less than half Friday's close of $65.08 for light, sweet crude
on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Norton joins Shell, will work in Denver;


Former Interior chief apt to help in pursuit of
Colorado oil shale

SECTION: BUSINESS; Pg. 1B

LENGTH: 687 words

Former Interior Secretary Gale Norton is returning to Colorado to work for


Shell, the energy behemoth that is pouring millions of dollars into an ambitious
research project to produce oil shale on the Western Slope.

Norton, 52, will work from an office in the Denver Tech Center as a general
counsel for Shell Exploration and Production, Unconventional Resources - the
company's local arm, which is testing a proprietary oil shale technology. Shell
recently received federal approval to lease public land in Rio Blanco County to
test its technology.

Norton will provide legal advice and services to Shell beginning in


mid-January. She was unavailable for comment.

Shell's hiring of Norton signals its intent to pursue oil shale and perhaps
use its technology on a commercial basis by the end of the decade, said
environmental activist Randy Udall, director of the Community Office for
Resource Efficiency in Aspen.

"I think Shell is serious about going in for commercial production of oil
shale," Udall said. "They would need permits for air quality, permits for water
quality, and Norton's Colorado background plus her experience in the Interior
Department makes her the perfect person to spearhead their permitting process."

Randy Udall is a brother of U.S. Rep. Mark Udall, D-Colo.

A former Colorado attorney general, Norton was part of President Bush's


original Cabinet and spent five years in Washington as interior secretary before
stepping down in March.

Her stint was marked by several controversies, including frequent clashes


with environmental activists over the Bush administration's push to open up more
public lands for energy exploration.

"It figures, right," said Dave Alberswerth, senior policy adviser for the
Wilderness Society, referring to Norton's joining Shell. "To me, it's just not a
big surprise that she'd find herself working for a multinational oil company.
So, good luck to her."

Ken Wonstolen, senior vice president of the Colorado Oil & Gas Association,
said having someone of Norton's stature in Denver would be a huge support for
the local energy business, as it would be for Shell.

"Shell has more work to do," Wonstolen said, referring to the company's oil
shale project. "And clearly Norton knows how the Interior Department works and
would be helpful to them with her advice."

Shell says it will make a decision about commercially producing oil shale by
2010, although many believe it could be earlier than that.

"The reality check is, companies here doing this research know the reality,"
U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., said this summer while touring Shell's oil
shale research project, Mahogany, near Meeker. "They are not here to throw money
away."

Residents who have seen the boom-and-bust cycles of oil shale in the early
1980s worry about a resurgence on the Western Slope. The federal government has
promised to go slow on oil shale and likely will approve commercial leasing of
public lands in 2008.

Extracting oil from shale is not a new process - it has been around for 600
years.

Oil shale got a boost with World War II and carried well into the 1960s and
1970s, when the high price of oil made it a profitable venture.

By 1982, however, oil prices crashed, and many companies shut down their
shale businesses overnight. But Shell stuck around.

The company is trying a new proprietary technique that reduces surface


damage. It involves drilling holes and inserting heaters in target underground
zones to slowly heat layers of shale.

Once the rock is heated, it releases a combination of two parts oil and one
part gas, which is pumped out through conventional means.

Steve Smith, assistant regional director for the Wilderness Society in


Colorado, said Norton's Colorado roots could help her understand the pitfalls of
rushing into oil shale.

"She knows Colorado geography well and knows Colorado people well," Smith
said. "I hope that means that she will be sure that oil shale does not move
faster than it should, (and) that is, until and unless we know that it can be
produced in a manner that protects the environment, protects Colorado's water
and protects western Colorado communities."

Feds grant leases for experiments in extracting


shale oil in Colorado; oil locked in rock
SECTION: BUSINESS NEWS

LENGTH: 334 words

DATELINE: DENVER

The Interior Department granted leases Friday for shale oil extraction
experiments, a step allowing companies to determine how to tap into an estimated
100-year supply of oil locked in rock formations under Colorado, Utah, and
southwest Wyoming.

The leases, the first granted in 30 years, were issued two decades after
companies abandoned large-scale commercial efforts in western Colorado because
coaxing oil out of rock was laborious and expensive.

The Interior Department issued 10-year leases for Shell Frontier Oil & Gas
Co., Chevron USA and EGL Resources Inc. for 160-acre parcels for research and
development projects in northwest Colorado.

"These oil shale (research, development, and demonstration) leases will help
us determine how industry might develop this tremendous resource effectively and
economically," said C. Stephen Allred, assistant secretary of the interior for
land and minerals management.

The companies must submit detailed development plans, monitor groundwater,


and obtain all required permits to protect air and water quality, the department
said last month in approving the projects, which could begin as early as the
summer.

Since 1996, Shell has tested procedures on private land in western Colorado
that involve baking shale rock in the ground with electric heating rods, then
pumping the melted oil to the surface. Circulating refrigerants through
underground pipes to freeze adjacent areas would keep groundwater away from the
melted oil.

The Bureau of Land Management declared the projects would have no significant
environmental impact. But state officials and environmentalists voiced concerns
about threats to air and water, and said there was a lack of information on the
kinds of substances released by the extraction process.

"Important issues remain to be addressed, including how to ensure appropriate


environmental protections are achieved," Allred said in a statement.
