RIFLE, Colorado — A feisty exchange between a couple of local politicians was taken in stride Tuesday by Colorado’s senior U.S. senator during a meeting about how to get $17 million out of federal hands and into the hands of Western Slope communities affected by the oil shale boom and bust of the 1980s.

“I don’t relish being King Solomon,” said U.S. Sen Mark Udall, D-Eldorado Springs, reacting to a short dispute between Rifle Mayor Keith Lambert and Garfield County Commissioner John Martin, “and hopefully, I won’t have to be.”

The recent sharp rise in crude production from Bakken shale in the northern U.S. underscores the potential of emerging oil shale plays to increase domestic energy supplies, much in the same way natural gas shales from Texas to New York have boosted output, says a new report by an oil industry-backed group.

Oil production in North Dakota, which accounts for about 75 percent of Bakken output, has more than doubled since 2008 and now hovers around 350,000 barrels per day. The increase has made North Dakota the nation’s fourth-largest oil-producing state, representing about 6 percent of U.S. oil output, the report by the non-profit Energy Policy Research Foundation said.
