10 Evaluation of the Utah oil sand resource1976-08oil sand deposits; Utah oil sand; oil sand resource; Tar Sand Triangle; P. R. Spring; Sunnyside deposits; hydrocarbons; surface mining of oil sandsThe three largest oil sand deposits in Utah, namely, the Tar Sand Triangle, the P.R. Spring, and the Sunnyside deposits, have been studied to contribute data relative to the surface and insitu mining of these deposits and to recommend research that should be conducted to develop the Utah oil sand re...
11 A sulfur isotopic study of Uinta Basin hydrocarbons1973Sulfur isotope analyses of tar from oilimpregnated sandstones, crude oils and solid hydrocarbons from the Uinta Basin (Tertiary), Utah, show wide variations, but all are heavier than the troilite sulfur isotopic standard. The data range from +2.7 to 30.3 permil and sulfur contents are low, usually l...

16 Geology and petroleum resources of the major oil-impregnated sandstone deposits of Utah1979-08petroleum resources; oil-impregnated sandstone depositsNear surface, oil-impregnated rock deposits in Utah are estimated to contain as much as 29 billion barrels of petroleum. Over fifty individual deposits have been identified, primarily through field mapping. Over 96 percent of the oil in place occurs in sandstone host rocks in six giant deposits. Fou...
17 In-situ production of Utah oil sands bitumen2007-11in situ production; Utah oil sands; Utah reservoirs; in situ bitumen production; SAGD; case studiesIn-situ production of oil-sand bitumen offers an excellent alternative to the ex situ processes that are based on strip-mining and surface extraction. In addition to leaving the landscape relatively undisturbed, in situ processes allow for partial upgrading of oil sands, leaving heavier, less profit...
