76 Pore scale analysis of oil shale/sands pyrolysis2011-03-31pore scale analysis; oil shale/sands pyrolysis; shale oil production; domestic oil shale depositsThere are important questions concerning the quality and volume of pore space that is created when oil shale is pyrolyzed for the purpose of producing shale oil. In this report, 1.9 cm diameter cores of Mahogany oil shale were pyrolyzed at different temperatures and heating rates. Detailed 3D imagin...
77 Production of hydrogen for upgrading of heavy oil: Senior design project--Spring 20092009-04-22oil supply; conventional oil sources; unconventional oil sources; oil shale; synthetic crude production; shale oilAn important technical hurdle to the production of oil from abundant oil shale resources is how to create enough hydrogen for upgrading the heavy oils produced from the shale prior to transport through pipelines. In order to avoid clogging pipelines during transport roughly 350scm (standard cubic me...

84 Rates and mechanisms of oil shale pyrolysis: A chemical structure approach2014-11Green River oil shale; oil and natural gas technology; oil shale pyrolysis; chemical structure of oil shaleThree pristine Utah Green River oil shale samples were obtained and used for analysis by the combined research groups at the University of Utah and Brigham Young University. Oil shale samples were first demineralized and the separated kerogen and extracted bitumen samples were then studied by a host...
85 Recovery of bitumen from oil-impregnated sandstone deposits of Utah1975-11potential oil; bitumen; oil-impregnated sandstone (tar sand) deposits; tar sands; bitumen recoveryUtah contains at least 26 billion barrels of potential oil as bitumen in oil-impregnated sandstone (tar sand) deposits. As shown in this paper, these tar sands are significantly different in physical and chemical properties from commercially developed Canadian tar sands. These differences prevent di...
86 Recovery of bitumen from oil-impregnated sandstone deposits of Utah1976bitumen recovery; oil-impregnated sandstone deposits; fossil fuels; coal; oil shale; tar sands; Athabasca tar sandsMuch attention is being given to fossil fuels such as coal, oil shale, and tar sands, as well as to nuclear, geothermal, wind, and solar energy sources. Characterization of the tar sands from the Uinta Basin is currently underway. Compared with bitumen presently being extracted commercially from Can...
87 Recovery of oil from Utah's tar sands1983-03-31Utah tar sands; bitumen cleaning; PRS-R tar sands; fluidized bed thermal recoveryThis report covers the work accomplished at the University of Utah on Utah's tar sands during the period: October 1, 1979 to March 31, 1983. The work reported is a continuation of the program carried out over a period of years at the University. The primary effort of the work covered in this report ...
