31 Policy analysis of produced water issues associated with in-situ thermal technologies: Topical report: October 1, 2009 to December 31, 20102011-01topical report; produced water issues; in situ thermal technologies; oil shale/sands; water rights; domestic energy sourceCommercial scale oil shale and oil sands development will require water, the amount of which will depend on the technologies adopted and the scale of development that occurs. Water in oil shale and oil sands country is already in scarce supply, and because of the arid nature of the region and limita...
32 Policy analysis of water availability and use issues for domestic oil shale and oil sands development: Topical Report: October 1, 2009 to March 31, 20102010-03oil shale/sands resources; energy source; unconventional fuels; water demands; water availability; domestic oil shale/sands development; topical reportOil shale and oil sands resources located within the intermountain west represent a vast, and as of yet, commercially untapped source of energy. Development will require water, and demand for scarce water resources stands at the front of a long list of barriers to commercialization. Water requiremen...
33 Policy issues associated with using simulation to assess environmental impacts2014-11oil and natural gas technology; policy issues with using simulation; environmental impacts; simulation-based science; judicial assessments and models; environmental policymakingThis report examines the relationship between simulation-based science and judicial assessments of simulations or models supporting evaluations of environmental harms or risks, considering both how it exists currently and how it might be shaped in the future. This report considers the legal standard...
34 Pore scale analysis of oil shale/sands pyrolysis2011-03-31pore scale analysis; oil shale/sands pyrolysis; shale oil production; domestic oil shale depositsThere are important questions concerning the quality and volume of pore space that is created when oil shale is pyrolyzed for the purpose of producing shale oil. In this report, 1.9 cm diameter cores of Mahogany oil shale were pyrolyzed at different temperatures and heating rates. Detailed 3D imagin...
35 Rates and mechanisms of oil shale pyrolysis: A chemical structure approach2014-11Green River oil shale; oil and natural gas technology; oil shale pyrolysis; chemical structure of oil shaleThree pristine Utah Green River oil shale samples were obtained and used for analysis by the combined research groups at the University of Utah and Brigham Young University. Oil shale samples were first demineralized and the separated kerogen and extracted bitumen samples were then studied by a host...
36 Regulatory promotion of emergent CCS technology - Topical report2014-01CCS technology; climate change; mitigation strategies; carbon capture and sequestrationDespite the growing inevitability of climate change and the attendant need for mitigation strategies, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) has yet to gain much traction in the United States. Recent regulatory proposals by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), limited in scope to new-buil...
37 Underground coal thermal treatment - Task 6 topical report, Utah Clean Coal Program2015-01transformational energy production; insitu thermal treatment of a coal seam; coal reserves; underground coal thermal treatment; Utah Clean Coal Program; coal resourcesThe long-term objective of this task is to develop a transformational energy production technology by in situ thermal treatment of a coal seam for the production of substitute natural gas and/or liquid transportation fuels while leaving much of the coal's carbon in the ground. This process converts ...
