1505 Getting from here to there: Devising an optimal regulatory model for CO2 transport in a new carbon capture and sequestration industry2010regulatory model for CO2 transport; new carbon capture and sequestration; CCS; regulatory modelIf CCS is to become a broad-scale commercial industry in time to meet the need for climate change mitigation, the United States must adopt a regulatory model that will allow for efficient construction of critical infrastructure. A well-crafted regulatory framework gives private would-be CCS operator...
1506 Gilsonite1961-06glisonite; bitumen; asphalt-based petroleum; glisonite oreGlisonite is a black, pitch-like substance which occurs in pure form in large veins in the Tertiary sediments of the Uinta Basin. It is a homogenous petroleum substance (technically it is a predominently aromatic asphaltite) which fuses relatively easily and burns like tar. Glisonite is brittle and ...
1507 Gilsonite and other bituminous resources of central Uintah County, Utah1963-01glisonite; bituminous resources; bituminous deposits; oil shale; tar sands; gas; oil; bituminous sandstonesCentral Uintah County, located in northeastern Utah, lies in the Uinta Basin and is underlain by relatively undisturbed Tertiary lacustrine and fluviatile sediments. The area (shown in Figure 63) discussed in this chapter contains all of the known gilsonite veins in the western United States and is ...
1508 Gilsonite and related hydrocarbons of the Uinta Basin, Utah1949glisonite; hydrocarbons; Uinta Basin; kerogen; bitumenHydrocarbons are important in the present study for two reasons: ( 1) An understanding of their nature and origin may lead to a better understanding of the oil possibilities in the area. (2) From gilsonite, kerogen, and associated bituminous substances there may be fractionated many still-undiscover...

1512 Green River Formation at Raven Ridge, Uintah County, Utah1965-07Green River formation; Raven Ridge; sandstone beds; shale; limestone; marlstone; oil-bearing strataAlong Raven Ridge in Uintah County, Utah, exposures of the Green River Formation contain a complex sequence of intertonguing beds of sandstone, shale, limestone, and marlstone. These strata are considered to represent deposition in an orderly sequence of environments from the flood plain through the...
1513 Green River oil shale potential in Utah1963-01Green River oil shale; oil shale potential; oil shale; Green River formation; oil reserves; oil shale extractionThe Green River formation of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming contains the greatest potential reserves of oil in the world. The problem has been that of finding an economical method of extraction. The first economic study of the oil shale in Utah started in 1913 (Woodruff and Day, 1914). Since that time ...
1514 Ground-water flow and migration of hydrocarbons to the Lower Permian White Rim Sandstone, Tar Sand Triangle, southeastern Utah1995ground-water flow; migration of hydrocarbons; hydrocarbons; Lower Permian White Rim Sandstone; Tar Sand Triangle; heavy oilThe Lower Permian White Rim Sandstone in the Tar Sand Triangle of southeastern Utah contains an estimated 12.5-16 billion barrels of heavy oil. Despite the large size of the deposit, the source of its oil is unknown. This paper systematically discusses source rocks for this petroleum from the standp...
1515 Growth issues in Utah: facts, fallacies, and recommendations for quality growth1999-10The Sutherland Institute is an independent, non-profit, non-partisan Utah pub-He policy research and educational organization. The Institute seeks to create effective solutions to Utah's public policy problems. State and local issues are its primary concern. The Institute seeks to positively affect ...

1517 Hardening of arches for commercial simulation of industrial flares: a program updateReaction Engineering International (REI) is working with the University of Utah to leverage the Uintah Computational Framework (UCF) for commercial simulation of industrial flares, with funding from the Department of Energy (DOE). The Arches component of the UCF provides a reacting large eddy simula...
1518 Hardening of arehes for commercial simulation of industrial flaresWith funding from the Department of Energy (DOE), to further the use of government funded high-performance computing (HPC) software for engineering analysis of industrial problems, Reaction Engineering International (REI) is working with the University of Utah to leverage the Uintah Computational Fr...
1519 Heavy crude oil fields and bitumen deposits of the Middle and Far East and Oceania1987heavy crude oil fields; bitumen deposits; Middle and Far East and Oceania; oil resourceA total of 119 heavy-oil fields are located in the Middle and Far East and Oceania, in 19 countries. Of these, 12 have ultimate recoveries of more than 500 million barrels, and nine of more than 1000 million barrels. About 97% of the total resource of 120,000 million barrels is found in the Middle E...
1520 Heavy oil and natural bitumen-strategic petroleum resources2003-07heavy oil; natural bitumen; strategic petroleum resources; conventional oil; light oilBecause conventional light oil can typically be produced at a high rate and a low cost, it has been used before other types of oil. Thus, conventional oil accounts for a declining share of the Earth's remaining oil endowment. In addition to assessing conventional oil resources, scientists of the U.S...
