Association of uranium and other metals with crude oil, asphalt, and petroliferous rock | 1954-10 | uranium; crude oil; asphalt; petroliferous rock | Some crude oil, natural asphalt, and petroliferous rock are appreciably radioactive, but little is known about the actual uranium content and the chemical nature of the uranium compound or compounds in these materials. Semiquantitative spectrographic analyses of the ash of 29 samples of crude oil, 2... |

Green River Formation at Raven Ridge, Uintah County, Utah | 1965-07 | Green River formation; Raven Ridge; sandstone beds; shale; limestone; marlstone; oil-bearing strata | Along Raven Ridge in Uintah County, Utah, exposures of the Green River Formation contain a complex sequence of intertonguing beds of sandstone, shale, limestone, and marlstone. These strata are considered to represent deposition in an orderly sequence of environments from the flood plain through the... |

Petroleum geology of the greater Red Wash Area, Uintah County, Utah | 1965-07 | oil and gas field; sandstone; petroleum geology | The Greater Red Wash area is the largest oil and gas field in the Uinta Basin. The Douglas Creek and Garden Gulch Members of the Green River Formation form a lacustrine delta in the area and yield hydrocarbons from a complex network of discrete sandstones. Each individual sandstone body forms its ow... |

Plant starts, Athabasca now yielding its hydrocarbons | 1967-10-23 | synthetic crude; Athabasca oil sands; crude; strip mining | First synthetic crude from the Athabasca oil sands region of northeastern Alberta will reach the Toledo, Ohio, refinery of Sun Oil Co. in November. It will be an excellent grade of crude - high in gravity, free of sulfur and nitrogen. But nonetheless, it will have a strange background. Instead of be... |

Some possible applications of thermal recovery in Utah | 1965-11 | thermal recovery; applications of thermal recovery; oil reserves; bituminous sandstones; thermal project; bituminous oil sand | The bituminous sandstones of the Rocky Mountain region have significant reserves of oil. Production costs of the reserves must be reduced to be equal to or lower than the cost of crude oil produced by conventional methods. Three Utah deposits alone, Sunny side, Vernal (Asphalt Ridge) and Whiterocks ... |

Sulphur isotope abundances in petroleum and associated materials | 1958-11 | sulphur isotope; petroleum; isotopes of sulphur; sulphur isotope abundances; treatment of oil samples | A study has been made of the sulphur isotope ratios for petroleum from many different oil fields in the United States and Canada. The S34/S32 ratio for petroleum varies by about 4.5 per cent as compared with a total spread of about 9 per cent for terrestrial sulphur. The single large oil pools appea... |

Thermal recovery may bring industry's "quiet revolution" | 1964-11-23 | thermal recovery; oil revolution; quiet revolution; low-gravity, viscous crude oils; crude oils; bituminous sandstones | Today the American oil industry is in the process of a revolution of such magnitude that its implications are yet to be thoroughly understood. This is the "quiet revolution" which will double the proved oil reserves of the world within the next 10 years and will more than triple those reserves by th... |
