1 | Basin oriented strategies for CO2 enhanced oil recovery: Alaska | 2005-04 | Alaska; North Slope; Cook Inlet; Oil; Gas; Oil recovery; EOR; CO2; Carbon dioxide; Oil fields; Oil production industry | The oil and gas producing regions of Alaska have nearly 45 billion barrels of oil which will be left in the ground, or "stranded", following the use of today's oil recovery practices. A major portion of this "stranded oil" is in reservoirs technically and economically amenable to enhanced oil recove... | |
2 | Basin oriented strategies for CO2 enhanced oil recovery: Rocky Mountain Region | 2006-02 | Rocky Mountain; Colorado; Utah; Wyoming; Oil; Gas; Enhanced oil recovery; EOR; CO2; Carbon dioxide injection; Oil fields; Basin oriented strategies; Domestic oil production | The Rocky Mountain oil and gas producing region of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming has an original oil endowment of nearly 34 billion barrels. Of this, 11 billion barrels (33%) has been produced or proven. As such, nearly 23 billion barrels of oil will be left in the ground, or "stranded", following the ... | |
3 | Basin-wide evaluation of the uppermost Green River Formation's oil-shale resource, Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado | 2008 | Green River; Uinta Basin; Utah; Colorado; Crude oil; Green River Formation; Oil; Gas; Oil yield; Oil shale; Oil-shale thickness; Mahogany zone; R-7; Parachute Creek Member; Richness grade; Uintah County; Salt Lake Base Line and Meridian; BLM; U.S. Bureau of Land Management | Due to the recent increase in crude oil prices and concerns over diminishing conventional reserves, the Utah Geological Survey has reexamined the Uinta Basin's oil-shale resource, primarily in the Mahogany zone of the Green River Formation. Past assessments, the first conducted in 1964 and subsequen... | |
