8 Quantitative methods for reservoir characterization and improved recovery: Application to heavy oil sands2001-10-30interwell reservoir heterogeneity; heavy oil sands; analytical property-distribution methods; reservoir simulationImproved prediction of interwell reservoir heterogeneity is needed to increase productivity and to reduce recovery cost for California's heavy oil sands, which contain approximately 2.3 billion barrels of remaining reserves in the Temblor Formation and in other formations of the San Joaquin Valley. ...
9 Tongues of the Green River and Uinta Formations in the Piceane Creek Basin1982Green River formations; Uinta formations; oil shale; thick zonesLake Uinta achieved its maximum extent durinq the deposition of the Mahogany bed, the richest oilshale unit in the Mahogany zone. Filling of the lake with stream-borne debris began immediately after deposition of the Mahogany bed. The lake gradually constricted from about 20,000 square miles in area...
10 Quantitative methods for reservoir characterization and improved recovery: Application to heavy oil sands2002-10-30interwell reservoir heterogeneity; heavy oil sands; advanced analytical property-distribution methods; reservoir characterizationImproved prediction of interwell reservoir heterogeneity has the potential to increase productivity and to reduce recovery cost for California's heavy oil sands, which contain approximately 2.3 billion barrels of remaining reserves in the Temblor Formation and in other formations of the San Joaquin ...
11 Geologic summary report of the 1987 exploration program, Sunnyside Tar Sands project, Carbon County, Utah--volume 11988-06-01geologic summary report; 1987 exploration program; Sunnyside Tar Sands project; tar sand distribution; tar sands; bituminous sandstones1. The distribution of tar sands in the Sunnyside deposit is related to both structure and lithology. The structural control is associated with a northwest trending flexure that segments a large monocline which slopes gently into the Uinta Basin. The lithologic control is determined by porous and pe...
12 Oil-impregnated sandstone deposits Circle Cliffs Uplift, Utah1981-04oil-impregnated sandstone; Utah deposits; Circle Cliffs Uplift; Triassic Moenkopi Formation; oil-impregnated sandstone resourceOne of the major oil-impregnated sandstone deposits in the United States is present on the Circle Cliffs uplift in an unnamed sandstone unit in the middle portion of the Triassic Moenkopi Formation. The deposit occurs on the west and east flanks of the uplift and is separated by an irregular barren ...
