1 The search for a source rock for the giant Tar Sand Triangle accumulation, southeastern Utah1999-03source rock; giant Tar Sand Triangle; southeastern Utah; oil resource; heavy oil and tar; oil; Tar Sand Triangle accumulation; thermal modelingA large proportion (about 36%) of the world's oil resource is contained in accumulations of heavy oil or tar. In these large deposits of degraded oil, the oil in place represents only a fraction of what was present at the time of accumulation. In many of these deposits, the source of the oil is unkn...
2 The Chinese wax mine: A unique oil-impregnated rock deposit1975Chinese wax mine; oil-impregnated rock deposit; oil; mineral wax; viscous oilThe Chinese Wax mine in Daniels Canyon, Wasatch County, Utah, is a small deposit of black, viscous, waxy oil emplaced in fractured, brecciated Oquirrh Formation (Pennsylvanian-Permian) on the Strawberry Valley (or Charleston) thrust sheet where the thrust has overriden the west margin of the Uinta B...
3 Immigrants transform Utah: entering a new era of diversity2004-05Utah is generally perceived as an extremely homogeneous state whose population can trace its ancestry mostly to northern Europe. Listings for surnames like Hansen, Jensen, and Christensen do fill many pages in local telephone directories throughout the state. According to census counts, the minority...
4 Utah's tar sand resource: Geology, politics, and economics1976Utah tar sand; tar sand resource; geology; politics; economics; oil-impregnated rock deposits; oil shale; tar sandsTwelve of fifty deposits of oil-impregnated rock in Utah contain 98 percent of the 26 billion barrels estimated in place. This is about 90 to 95 percent of the total mapped U.S. resource. Several deposits have been and are mined for paving material. Extraction of oil from three deposits is beginning...
5 Field guide to lacustrine and related nonmarine depositional environments in tertiary rocks, Uinta Basin, Utah1976-11lacustrine environments; nonmarine depositional environments; tertiary rocksThe lower part of the Tertiary System in the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah and northwestern Colorado (fig. 1) reflects a series of very complex and variable forms of continental sedimentation in a basin of internal drainage. These complex forms represent the disruption of the Cretaceous depositio...
6 Parallelization of the P-1 radiation model2006parallelization; P-1 radiation model; radiative transport equation; LES; large-eddy simulations; RTEThe P-1 radiation model is spatially decomposed to solve the radiative transport equation on parallel computers. Mathematical libraries developed by third parties are employed to solve the linear systems that result during the solution procedure. Multigrid preconditioning accelerated the convergence...
7 Economic and demographic impacts of federally financed transportation infrastructure on the Wasatch Front2004-09Over the next three decades, $14.4 billion (constant 2004 dollars) of new transit and highway infrastructure is planned to meet the transportation needs of the Wasatch Front.1 These investments will significantly influence the region's economic development potential, relative competitiveness, and la...
8 Oil impregnated carbonate rocks of the Timpoweap Member Moenkopi Formation, Hurricane Cliffs area, Utah and Arizona1979Oil impregnated rocks; Hurricane Cliffs; Utah; Arizona; Timpoweap Member; Triassic Moenkopi Formation; Timpoweap Canyon; Hurricane, UtahOil impregnated rocks crop out at several localities near the Hurricane Cliffs in southwestern Utah and adjacent Arizona. The most significant petroliferous deposits occur in the Timpoweap Member of the Triassic Moenkopi Formation in Timpoweap Canyon and the Hurricane Cliffs south of Hurricane, Utah...
9 Relationships between composition and pulmonary toxicity of prototype particles from coal combustion and pyrolysis2009toxicity; prototype particles; coal combustion; pyrolysis; health effects; coal combustion fly-ash particlesThe hypothesis that health effects associated with coal combustion fly-ash particles are exacerbated by the simultaneous presence of iron and soot was tested through two sets of experiments. The first set created prototype particles from complete and partial combustion, or oxygen free pyrolysis of a...
10 An echoing in-situ combustion oil recovery project in a Utah tar sand1982in-situ combustion; oil recovery project; Utah tar sand; echoing in-situ; U.S. tar sand resources; reverse combustion process; heterogeneous tar sand reservoirU.S. tar sand resources contain an estimated 30 billion bbl (4.7 Gm3) of oil in place in about 550 occurrences in 22 states. Over 90% of the known resources are in six large deposits in Utah, each containing from 1 to 16 billion bbl (0.15 to 2.5 Gm3) of oil. 1 Four major tar sand deposits in Alberta...
11 Stratigraphy and origin of the Moenkopi Formation (Triassic) of southeastern Utah1973-01Moenkopi Formation; stratigraphy; regional stratigraphy of southeastern UtahIn southeastern Utah, the Triassic Moenkopi Formation is composed mainly of red and yellowish-gray siltstone, sandstone, mudstone, and limestone. Continuity of individual units is one of the characteristics of this formation and provides a basic for regional correlation. For the purpose of this stud...
12 Petroliferous lithosomes in the Moenkopi Formation, southern Utah1977petroleum; stratigraphic study; southeastern and central Utah petroleum; Moenkopi FormationRecent stratigraphic studies of the Triassic Moenkopi Formation suggest the possibility of important petroleum potential within the unit in southeastern and central Utah. Potential reservoir rocks include shoreline sandstone in the Black Dragon Member, carbonates in the Sinbad Limestone Member, and ...
13 Using a continuous time lag to determine the associations between ambient PM2.5 hourly levels and daily mortality2009-10continuous time lag; ambient PM2.5; hourly levels; daily mortality; PM2.5 exposure; short-term fine particulate matter; health effectsThe authors are interested in understanding the possible association between exposure to short-term fine particulate matter (PM2.5) peaks that have changing physical characteristics throughout the day and observable health outcomes (daily mortality). To this end, modern statistical methods are used ...
14 Vaporization of arsenic, selenium and antimony during coal combustion2001coal-fired power; arsenic; selenium; antimony; coal combustion; ubmicron particles; vaporization during coal combustionAccumulation of toxic trace elements generated by coal-fired power stations presents a serious threat to the environment. Field testing and laboratory studies have revealed the existence of trace elements in submicron particles emitted from power stations. Arsenic, selenium, and antimony are present...
15 Porosity of unconsolidated sand, diatomite, and fractured shale reservoirs, South Belridge and West Cat Canyon oil fields, California1987-11-02porosity; unconsolidated sand; diatomite; fractured shale reservoirs; South Belridge oil field; West Cat Canyon oil fieldPorosity analysis based on conventional core samples, gamma-gamma logs, and borehole gravity (BHG) surveys is presented for a Pleistocene unconsolidated sand reservoir and for Miocene diatomaceous, porcelaneous, and fractured shale reservoirs of the Monterey Formation in the South Belridge oil field...
