2 American gilsonite: Mining solid hydrocarbon1985Gilsonite, a soft asphaltite found in near-vertical veins over a large area around Bonanza, Utah (Fig. 1), is mined by American Gilsonite Co. (AGC) using air-powered chipping hammers instead of explosives and mechanical equipment. A vacuum air lift moves 100,000 st/yr of ore to the surface through b...
3 An evaluation of triple quadrupole ms/ms for on-line analyses of trace sulfur compounds from oil shale processing1985In order to effectively reduce sulfur gas content from shale processing to environmentally acceptable levels, H2S, COS, S02 and CH3SH plus trace sulfur compounds must be removed. Of these, the trace sulfur compounds have not been well characterized but should be known to ppm levels In order to optim...
4 Brief history and recent developments in tar sand deposits of Uinta Basin1985Commercial production of oil from bituminous sandstones, more commonly referred to as "Tar sands", is considered by many to be a viable project. These so-called "heavy oil" deposits represent a very considerable reserve of oil for the future. The Uinta basin is Mother Nature's storehouse of exotic b...
5 Catalytic and thermal effects in the upgrading of bitumen-derived heavy oils (Abstract only)1985Heavy oils derived from PR Spring bitumen were hydrotreated in the fixed bed reactor as a function of process variables. The presulfided commercial NiMo/y-alumina (HDN) catalyst, Mo supported on y-alumina (HDM) catalyst and sodium-impregnated HDN catalyst support were used in this study to investiga...
6 Depositional environments of oil shale in the Green River Formation, Douglas Creek Arch, Colorado and Utah1985depositional environments; oil shale; Green River Formation; Douglas Creek Arch; stratigraphyDouglas Creek arch in western Colorado and eastern Utah separates the Uinta and Piceance Creek basins. During deposition of the lower part of the Eocene Green River Formation, the arch provided a physical barrier dividing ancient Lake Uinta into two segments. As the lake expanded, the arch became a ...
7 Economic potential of state-owned lands in the Sunnyside Special Tar Sand Area Carbon County, Utah1985The Sunnyside oil-impregnated (tar sand) deposit is located in the southwestern portion of the Uinta Basin, approximately 25 miles east of Price, Utah (fig. 1). The tar sands are located in the Wasatch Formation and in the Douglas Creek Member of the Green River Formation, with up to 32 individual b...
8 Hypotheses of oil-shale genesis, Green River Formation, northeast Utah, northwest Colorado, and southwest Wyoming1985oil shale; Green River Formation; tar sandstoneIn the six decades or so of oil-shale studies on the Green River Formation (Paleocene/Eocene) in northeast Utah, northwest Colorado, and southwest Wyoming, two alternative hypotheses for the paleoenvironment have dominated the literature: (1) a stratified lake in which anaerobic conditions in the hy...
9 LETC tar sand research - North Asphalt Ridge1985LETC tar sand research; North Asphalt Ridge; tar sand; in situ recovery methods; classifying tar sand deposits; in situ recovery process; tar sand depositsThis report describes work done by the United States Department of Energy's Laramie Energy Technology Center (LETC) from 1971 through 1982 to develop technology for future recovery of U.S. tar sands. The objectives of the program are: 1. To determine the feasibility of in situ recovery methods appli...
10 The Whiterocks tar sand deposit1985Whiterocks tar sand deposit; tar sand; bitumen; tar-bearing Navajo SandstoneThe Whiterocks tar sand deposit is located near the mouth of Whiterocks Canyon, an important south drainage of the Uinta Mountains. This deposit is probably the least known and most unique of the major bitumen accumulations in the Uinta Basin. Historically, it is near the purported oldest white sett...
