1 APPENDIX A - Analysis of environmental, legal, socioeconomic and policy issues critical to the development of commercial oil shale leasing on the public lands in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming under the mandates of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 - Final Project Report - Reporting period: June 21, 2006 to October 21, 20092009-10Oil shale; Colorado; Utah; Wyoming; Energy Policy Act of 2005; Green River Formation; Environmental; Legal; Socioeconomic; Policy Issues; Oil shale deposits; BLM; Bureau of Land ManagementThe United States is home to the largest oil shale deposits in the world. This resource is located in the Green River Formation, spreading across the states of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. Despite the vast potential of this resource, successful commercial development has yet to occur. To date, concer...
2 APPENDIX B - Depositional heterogeneity and fluid flow modeling of the oil shale interval of the upper Green River Formation, eastern Uinta Basin, Utah - Final Project Report - Reporting period: June 21, 2006 to October 21, 20092009-10Green River Formation; Uinta Basin; Utah; Uintah County; Oil shale; DepositionIn this project, a detailed geological analysis was performed followed by a reservoir modeling exercise. For the geological analysis, ~300 m of cores were correlated to gamma and density logs in well P4 in the lower to middle Eocene (49.5-48.0 million years ago (Ma)), upper Green River Formation of ...
3 Basin-wide evaluation of the uppermost Green River Formation's oil-shale resource, Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado2008Green 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 ManagementDue 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...

6 Core-based integrated sedimentologic, stratigraphic, and geochemical analysis of the oil shale bearing Green River Formation, Uinta Basin, Utah2011-04Utah; Green River Formation; Lake Uinta; Mahogany zone; Lake evolution; Oil shale development; Uinta BasinAn integrated detailed sedimentologic, stratigraphic, and geochemical study of Utah's Green River Formation has found that Lake Uinta evolved in three phases 1) a freshwater rising lake phase below the Mahogany zone, 2) an anoxic deep lake phase above the base of the Mahogany zone and 3) a hypersali...
7 Interpretation of fischer assay data for the evaluation of analcime-bearing oil shale in the Green River Formation, Colorado and Utah1975fischer assay data; analcime-bearing oil shale; Green River Formation; potential oil yeild of sedimentsUsing Fischer assay data, an empirical method has been devised for distinguishing analcime-rich oil shale from oil shale which is essentially free of analcime in the Parachute Creek Member, Green River Formation, Colorado and Utah. This method permits evaluation of Fischer assay data in order to com...
8 Measured section, Green River Formation1977-09-05Green River Formation; Sunnyside Asphalt Quarry areaSunnyside Asphalt Quarry area, Carbon Co., Utah, September 5-8, 1977, by Jock A. Campbell, assisted by Craig R. Dixon.
9 Mechanism of low-temperature water evolution from Green River Formation oil shale1989-04low-temperature water evolution; Green River Formation; oil shale; Mahogany ZoneThe water evolved from Green River Formation oil shale (Mahogany Zone) at temperatures between 150 and 400°C as heated at the rate of 4°C/min results from analcime dehydration, and its rate of evolution is affected by the kinetics of dehydration, the transport of water inside and outside oil shale...
10 Mineralogy of oil shale in the upper part of Parachute Creek member of the Green River Formation in the Eastern Uinta Basin, Utah1976Parachute Creek; Green River Formation; Uinta Basin; Utah; X-ray diffraction; Oil shale; Curly bed; Wavy bed tuffs; Mahogany zone; Naval Oil Shale Reserve No. 2; Federal Prototype Oil Shale Leas Tract Ua; Smectite; MineralogyThe relative abundance and distribution of major and minor minerals have been determined by X-ray diffraction for samples of Green River Formation oil shale in three drill cores from the eastern part of the Uinta Basin, Utah. The samples in each core are from the same rock stratigraphic interval bet...
11 Mono Power Company: Sunnyside tar sands project--1983 geologic evaluation1984-03Mono Power; Sunnyside, Utah; Range Creek; Bruin Point; Whitmore Canyon; Uinta Basin; Wasatch Formation; Green River Formation; Mono Power's Sunnyside tar sand leasesThis report presents the results of the 1983 geologic evaluation which M-K performed on Mono Power's tar sand leases near Sunnyside, Utah. The project's scope of work involved: - P. R. Spring Drilling - Sunnyside Drilling - Logging and Sampling - Assaying and Testing - Surveying - Aerial Photography...
12 Occurrence of biomarkers in Green River shale oil1983-03Biomarkers; Biological markers; Shale oils; In-situ retorting; Green River FormationBiological markers, compounds derived essentially unchanged from living organisms, are found in oil-bearing rocks, petroleum and most ancient sediments. We are investigating the variation in ratios of certain biomarkers in shale oils and their use as tracers for relating oil to source rock during in...
13 Oil-impregnated sandstone mapping project Nine Mile Canyon area Carbon and Duchesne Counties, Utah: A field examination for the Utah Geological Survey1971-10-04Tributaries; Nine Mile canyon; Argyle canyon; Uinta Basin; Deltaic facies; Green River Formation; Parachute CreekA reconnaissance survey of tributaries to Nine Mile and Argyle canyons in the southern Uinta Basin showed widespread but erratic distribution of oil-impregnated sandstones. The occurrences are mainly in the Deltaic facies of the Green River formation. The bituminous material is believed to have been...
