A proposal to evaluate oil-impregnated sandstone in the Uinta Basin, northeast Utah; made to the Energy Research and Development Administration by Utah Geological and Mineral Survey | 1976-06-15 | Petroleum; Utah; Uinta Basin; Oil; Bitumen; Ore waste radiation; Oil-impregnated sandstone; Deposits | Most of the known petroleum resources in the form of oil-impregnated in the United States occur in Utah. It is estimated that over ten billion barrels of petroleum occur in such deposits in the Uinta Basin alone (Ritzma, 1973; Campbell, 1975). Four deposits among the twenty identified in the Uinta ... |
