Technology of the recovery of values from tar sands | 1982-08 | recovery of values; tar sand; bitumen recovery; in situ processes; thermal recovery methods; COFCAW; combination of forward combustion and water flood process; emulsion-steam drive process; nuclear stimulation; mining; processing mined tar sands; anhydrous solvent extraction process; cold water sepa... | There are two basic approaches to recovering bitumen. The tar sand may be mined and transported to a process plant where the bitumen is extracted and the sand is discharged. Alternatively the separation of bitumen from sand may be accomplished without ever moving the sand, that is, in situ. In situ ... |

U.S. tar sand oil recovery projects--1985 | 1985-07-31 | U. S. tar sand; oil recovery projects; tar sand resource; in situ processes | Since crude oil prices declined in the early 1980's, U.S. tar sand activities have declined to a level approximating that of the early 1970's. Twenty of the 43 reported projects are in California reservoirs containing bitumen with relatively low viscosities. Only four current or planned projects are... |

Upgrading of bitumen by hydropyrolysis -- A process for low coke and high syncrude yields | 1985-07 | bitumen; hydropyrolysis; low coke yeilds; high syncrude yeilds | The Department of Fuels Engineering at the University of Utah has been conducting research on the chemistry and engineering of hydropyrolysis for several years. It was previously observed (Ramakrishnan, 1978; Shabtai et al., 1979) that under certain reaction conditions hydrocarbon species undergo cr... |

The Whiterocks tar sand deposit | 1985 | Whiterocks tar sand deposit; tar sand; bitumen; tar-bearing Navajo Sandstone | The 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... |
