Asphalt from Utah tar sands -- A JWBA project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy | 1989 | asphalt; Utah tar sands; JWBA project; asphalt production | JWBA has initiated a project for development of Utah's tar sands for production of specification-grade asphalt. Projected prices and costs strongly indicate economic viability within the market limitations. JWBA has licensed the water extraction technology developed at the University of Utah and has... |

Chemistry and resources of heavy oil and natural bitumen deposits | 1989 | chemistry of heavy oil; chemistry of natural bitumen deposits; heavy oil resources; natural bitumen deposits; heavy oil; unconventional oil deposits; natural bitumen | Supplies of conventional crude oil are diminishing; therefore, it is important to understand the reservoir characteristics of unconventional oil deposits. Reservoirs of unconventional deposits contain oils heavier than 20° gravity API and natural bitumens (tar sands and oil sands) are more viscous ... |

Comparative study of organic rich solids present in Utah and Athabasca oil sands | 1989 | organic rich solids; Utah oil sands; Athabasca oil sands; comparative study of oil sands | The presence of humic matter modifies the hydrophilic character of some oil sand solids surfaces and thereby results in serious problems in bitumen recovery using water-based processes. In the present work the fraction enriched with humic matter was separated from the bulk of Utah oil sand solids, u... |

Conversion of tar sand bitumen and heavy crude to high yields of aviation turbine fuel | 1989 | tar sand bitumen; heavy crude; aviation turbine fuel yeilds; tar sand bitumen conversion; heavy crude conversion | The production of specification quality military aviation turbine fuel from low grade domestic fossil energy resources is of interest to the United States Air Force. This paper describes a U.S. Air Force sponsored study of the conversion of tar sands bitumens and heavy crudes into high yields of spe... |

Developments in upgrading of bitumen by hydropyrolysis | 1989 | hydropyrolysis; upgrading bitumen; gas processing | Hydropyrolysis, a short residence time, moderate temperature process, has been under development at the University of Utah for more than a decade. Hydropyrolysis has been shown to produce 90+% liquid product yields from feedstocks containing more than 50% nonvolatile materials. The process results i... |

Fire and explosion hazards of oil shale | 1989 | fire and explosion hazards; oil shale; oil shale dust clouds; oil shale dust layers; oil shale rubble piles. | This U.S. Bureau of Mines publication presents the results of investigations into the fire and explosion hazards of oil shale rocks and dust. Three areas have been examined: the explosibility and ignitability of oil shale dust clouds, the fire hazards of oil shale dust layers on hot surfaces, and th... |
