2 Asphalt from Utah tar sands -- A JWBA project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy1989asphalt; Utah tar sands; JWBA project; asphalt productionJWBA has initiated a project for development of Utah's tar sands for production of specification-grade asphalt. Projected prices and costs strongly indicate economic viability within the market limitations. JWBA has licensed the water extraction technology developed at the University of Utah and has...
3 Bulletin of the University of Utah1989Information about the University of Utah's general information during 1988-1989.
4 Chemistry and resources of heavy oil and natural bitumen deposits1989chemistry of heavy oil; chemistry of natural bitumen deposits; heavy oil resources; natural bitumen deposits; heavy oil; unconventional oil deposits; natural bitumenSupplies of conventional crude oil are diminishing; therefore, it is important to understand the reservoir characteristics of unconventional oil deposits. Reservoirs of unconventional deposits contain oils heavier than 20° gravity API and natural bitumens (tar sands and oil sands) are more viscous ...
5 Comparative study of organic rich solids present in Utah and Athabasca oil sands1989organic rich solids; Utah oil sands; Athabasca oil sands; comparative study of oil sandsThe presence of humic matter modifies the hydrophilic character of some oil sand solids surfaces and thereby results in serious problems in bitumen recovery using water-based processes. In the present work the fraction enriched with humic matter was separated from the bulk of Utah oil sand solids, u...
6 Conversion of tar sand bitumen and heavy crude to high yields of aviation turbine fuel1989tar sand bitumen; heavy crude; aviation turbine fuel yeilds; tar sand bitumen conversion; heavy crude conversionThe production of specification quality military aviation turbine fuel from low grade domestic fossil energy resources is of interest to the United States Air Force. This paper describes a U.S. Air Force sponsored study of the conversion of tar sands bitumens and heavy crudes into high yields of spe...
7 Developments in upgrading of bitumen by hydropyrolysis1989hydropyrolysis; upgrading bitumen; gas processingHydropyrolysis, a short residence time, moderate temperature process, has been under development at the University of Utah for more than a decade. Hydropyrolysis has been shown to produce 90+% liquid product yields from feedstocks containing more than 50% nonvolatile materials. The process results i...
8 Fire and explosion hazards of oil shale1989fire and explosion hazards; oil shale; oil shale dust clouds; oil shale dust layers; oil shale rubble piles.This U.S. Bureau of Mines publication presents the results of investigations into the fire and explosion hazards of oil shale rocks and dust. Three areas have been examined: the explosibility and ignitability of oil shale dust clouds, the fire hazards of oil shale dust layers on hot surfaces, and th...
9 The fluidized bed pyrolysis of bitumen-impregnated sandstone from the tar sand deposits of Utah1989fluidized bed pyrolysis; bitumen-impregnated sandstone; tar sand deposits; Utah tar sand deposits; process operationThe influence of process operating variables on the product distribution and yields for the pyrolysis of bitumen-impregnated sandstone in a fluidized-bed reactor have been investigated in both laboratory (11/2 inch diameter) and pilot-scale (4 1/2 inch diameter) reactors. The quality of the liquid p...
10 Petrography and diagenesis of the bitumen-and heavy-oil-bearing White Rim Sandstone Member of the Cutler Formation (Permian), Tar-Sand Triangle area, southeastern Utah1989petrography; diagenesis; bitumen; heavy oil; White Rim Sandstone Member; Cutler Formation; Tar-Sand Triangle are; heavy oil accumulations; oil; bitumen; geologyThe Permian White Rim Sandstone Member of the Cutler Formation in the Tar Sand Triangle area of southeastern Utah hosts one of the largest tar sand and heavy oil accumulations in the United States. Major diagenetic events include pervasive calcite cementation, calcite and feldspar dissolution, and s...
11 Recycle oil pyrolysis and extraction of tar sand1989recycling oil pyrolysis; tar sand extraction; ROPEWestern Research Institute is developing a new pyrolysis process called ROPE© (Recycle Oil Pyrolysis and Extraction) for recovering products from tar sands that require a minimum of upgrading to produce finished, marketable fuels or that can be used as a diluent to decrease the pour point of bitume...
