The basic goal of this document is to bring together under one cover the data most often requested in a readily available format. During an average year, g...
3 American gilsonite: Mining solid hydrocarbon1985Gilsonite, a soft asphaltite found in near-vertical veins over a large area around Bonanza, Utah (Fig. 1), is mined by American Gilsonite Co. (AGC) using air-powered chipping hammers instead of explosives and mechanical equipment. A vacuum air lift moves 100,000 st/yr of ore to the surface through b...
4 Bituminous sandstone and limestone deposits of Utah1963The significant bituminous sandstone and bituminous Limestone deposits of Utah are located within, or on the edges of, the Uinta Basin. They are all located within the boundaries of Carbon, Duchesne, and Uintah Counties. The Sunnyside deposits in Carbon County contain the greatest reserves of bitumi...
5 Depositional environments of oil shale in the Green River Formation, Douglas Creek Arch, Colorado and Utah1985depositional environments; oil shale; Green River Formation; Douglas Creek Arch; stratigraphyDouglas Creek arch in western Colorado and eastern Utah separates the Uinta and Piceance Creek basins. During deposition of the lower part of the Eocene Green River Formation, the arch provided a physical barrier dividing ancient Lake Uinta into two segments. As the lake expanded, the arch became a ...
6 Geological assessment of heavy-oil reservoirs in the Lloydminster area, using a computerized data base1987heavy-oil reservoirs; geological assessment; heavy-oil reservoirs; wellsHeavy-oil reservoirs of the Lower Cretaceous Mannville Group in the Lloydminster area (Western Canada) occur in a sequence of complexly arranged sandstones, siltstones, shales, and coals. Trapping mechanisms vary, and the precise geological controls governing hydrocarbon accumulations are not well u...
7 Geology and genesis of the coast range province of California and its hydrocarbon deposits1987hydrocarbon deposits; tar sand; oil shaleCalifornia is along the western borderland of North America where sedimentary deposits accumulated along the eastern Pacific margin. During that time, subduction diastrophism prevailed in the late Mesozoic-early Cenozoic era, and right-lateral strike-slip shear diastrophism prevailed in the middle a...
8 Geology and geochemistry of Santa Rosa tar sands1987-11-02Santa Rosa tar sands; tar sands; heavy oil deposits; Triassic Santa Rosa SandstoneHeavy oil deposits 11 km (7 mi) north of the town of Santa Rosa, Guadalupe County, New Mexico, in the Triassic Santa Rosa Sandstone, were mined during the 1930s. Renewed interest in this deposit in the late 1970s so far has not resulted in exploitation because of unfavorable economics and the encroa...
9 Geology of heavy crude oil and natural bitumen in the USSR, Mongolia, and China1987geology; heavy crude oil; natural bitumen; USSR, Mongolia, China; heavy oil resources; natural bitumen resourcesThe USSR, Mongolia, and China occupy an area of 33,385,390 km2, or a quarter of the earth's land area. Large reserves and resources of heavy crude oil and natural bitumen are present, especially on the Eastern European (Russian) and Siberian platforms, where at least 700 billion bbl is present (out ...
10 Gilsonite1961-06glisonite; bitumen; asphalt-based petroleum; glisonite oreGlisonite is a black, pitch-like substance which occurs in pure form in large veins in the Tertiary sediments of the Uinta Basin. It is a homogenous petroleum substance (technically it is a predominently aromatic asphaltite) which fuses relatively easily and burns like tar. Glisonite is brittle and ...
11 Gilsonite and related hydrocarbons of the Uinta Basin, Utah1949glisonite; hydrocarbons; Uinta Basin; kerogen; bitumenHydrocarbons 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...
12 Heavy oil production operations in Potiguar Basin, Brazil1987heavy oil production operations; heavy oil; Portiguar Basin; oil fields; oilThe Potiguar basin is located on the northeastern Brazilian coast and comprises an onshore portion with 21,500 km2 (8300 mi2) and its offshore extension (Fig. 1). In the last 4 years, many oil fields have been discovered in the onshore portion, where today's production reaches 20,000 bbl/d. The oil ...
13 Hypotheses of oil-shale genesis, Green River Formation, northeast Utah, northwest Colorado, and southwest Wyoming1985oil shale; Green River Formation; tar sandstoneIn the six decades or so of oil-shale studies on the Green River Formation (Paleocene/Eocene) in northeast Utah, northwest Colorado, and southwest Wyoming, two alternative hypotheses for the paleoenvironment have dominated the literature: (1) a stratified lake in which anaerobic conditions in the hy...
14 Utah Economic and Business Review1968; 1969; 1970; 1971; 1972In the opening month of 1968, the state's economy continued to move along the high income and employment plateaus, which it initially achieved last summer.
