3-D structure of a local minimum of the Siskin model of oil shale kerogen using the RHF/STO-3G method | 2008 | Siskin model; oil shale kerogen; RHF/STO-3G method; kerogen; 3-D structure of kerogen; oil shale | Kerogen is a mixture of organic chemical compounds that make up a portion of the organic matter in sedimentary rocks. It is insoluble in normal organic solvents because of the huge molecular weight (upwards several thousand Daltons). When heated in the Earth's crust, (oil window ca. 6 ∞-120∞C; g... |

Gilsonite and related hydrocarbons of the Uinta Basin, Utah | 1949 | glisonite; hydrocarbons; Uinta Basin; kerogen; bitumen | Hydrocarbons 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... |

Investigation and development of alternative methods for shale oil processing and analysis | 1983-04 | oil shale processing and analysis; alternative processing methods; oil shale retorting; kerogen | I. Effects of selected wastes on Oil Shale Retorting. A. Background and Rationale. Oil shale-, a carbonaceous rock which occurs abundantly in the earth's crust, has been investigated for many years as an alternate source of fuel oil. The insoluble organic matter contained in such shales is termed "K... |

Structural characterization of Green River oil shale core segments and the kerogen isolated from these segments | 2011-09-18 | structural characterization; Green River oil shale; oil shale core segments; kerogen; chemical structure of oil shale and kerogen; QEMScan | The goal is to obtain information about chemical structure of oil shale and its kerogen. This includes chemical characterization of the shale, the isolated kerogen, and the products of pyrolysis of both the shale and kerogen, and provides data for validation of modeling component of the project (lat... |
