1 Completion for tar sand substratePatent; Hydrocarbons; Subterranean formation; Well; Liner; Bitumen; Bitumen emulsion; Hydrocarbon recovery; Tar sand; Tar sand substrateMethod and apparatus for recovering hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation in which a well completion, including a well liner, lies in a generally horizontal disposition within the hydrocarbon productive substrate. The liner encloses conductor means for delivering a stream of a hot stimulating a...
2 Development of HPC-based simulations tool for in situ thermal processing of oil shale/sandsHPC-based simulations tool; in situ thermal processing; oil shale; oil sands; commercial production of oil shale; ecoshale in-capsule processA presentation given at the Unconventional Fuels from Oil Shale and Oil Sands Project Review Meeting on March 10-11, 2011.
3 Comparison of laboratory and field steamfloods in tar sandIn situ recovery technologies for tar sand and heavy oil are simulated at the Western Research Institute to prepare for pilot tests and commercial operations. Wide ranges of process parameters are tested in one-dimensional reactor tubes in which the tar sand or heavy oil is uniformly reconstituted t...
4 Homogenizer/subsampler for tar sand process streams
5 How Shell attempted to unlock Utah tar sands
6 Clay-induced oil loss and alkene isomerization during oil shale retortingSunnyside (Utah) tar sand was subjected to programmed temperature pyrolysis and the volatile products were detected by tandem on-line mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in real time analyses- A heating rate of 4°C/min from room temperature to 900°C was employed. Evolution of hydrogen, light hydrocarbons, n...

10 Hydrocarbon-induced cancer risks in oil shale processing
11 Hydraulic mining technique for recovering bitumen from tar sand deposit
12 Hydraulic mining of tar sand bitumen with aggregate material
13 Analysis of crude shale oil1952-08A laboratory method for examining crude shale oil is described. The method uses only about 500 ml. of sample and a limited number of analytical determinations. Results provide information on the general characteristics and composition of an oil and serve as a basis for comparing different oils. Howe...
14 Production of pure carbon dioxide1954-01-12production of pure carbon dioxide; pure carbon dioxide; oxidizable carbonaceous material; free of nitrogen; solid oxidizing agents; metallic oxides.This invention relates to the production of pure carbon dioxide from oxidizable carbonaceous material, and particularly to the production of carbon dioxide free of inert gases, such as nitrogen. More particularly, the invention is concerned with the oxidation of carbonaceous material by means of sol...

More particularly, the invention is concerned with the oxidation of carbonaceous material by means of sol...
16 Association of uranium and other metals with crude oil, asphalt, and petroliferous rock1954-10uranium; crude oil; asphalt; petroliferous rockSome 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...
17 Coring and testing wells Asphalt Ridge, Utah1957-10-21A second well was cored and some injection and production tests were made using this well and the well that already existed on Gulf's Palmer lease at Asphalt Ridge, Utah. The formation that has been tested is the Duchesne River, which is more lenticular and erratic than the Mesa Verde which contains...
18 Engineering prospects of a field test thermal recovery of oil from tar sands Asphalt Ridge, Uintah County, Utah1959-04-25tar sand deposits; thermal recovery methods; tar sand; oil field; Asphalt RidgeIn late 1956 Sohio acquired certain interests in tar sand deposits at Asphalt Ridge a few miles west of Vernal, Utah. During 1957 and 1953 we conducted an extensive coring program to evaluate those shallower areas most susceptible to mining and air injection tests to evaluate those deeper areas most...
19 Occurrence, properties, and uses of some natural bitumens1961Natural bitumens; Hydrocarbon; Cannel coals; TorbanitesIn this report, the Federal Bureau of Mines presents a summary of the occurrence, properties, and uses of some natural bitumens, using the layman's or dictionary definition of bitumens - that is, naturally occurring hydrocarbons. Emphasis is on the less common solid and semisolid bitumens, particula...
20 Estimate of total, oil in place White Rocks Oil Properties Uintah county, Utah1961-12-09oil; petroleum recovery; heavy oil; tar; oil reserves; White Rocks Oil propertiesWestern Industries, Inc., is engaged in a project with the ultimate objective of recovering petroleum products from the "heavy oil" or "tar" bearing Navajo sandstone formation which is found at or near the surface on certain properties which they have acquired in Uintah County, Utah. Work on this pr...
21 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...
22 Composition and origin of the Uinta Basin bitumens1963-01The names of the three formations of interest, from oldest to youngest, the Wasatch, Green River, and Uinta, have been used largely as facies terms to differentiate sediments which were believed to be of different age but actually were deposited simultaneously. The Wasatch is predominantly fluviatil...
23 Green River oil shale potential in Utah1963-01Green River oil shale; oil shale potential; oil shale; Green River formation; oil reserves; oil shale extractionThe Green River formation of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming contains the greatest potential reserves of oil in the world. The problem has been that of finding an economical method of extraction. The first economic study of the oil shale in Utah started in 1913 (Woodruff and Day, 1914). Since that time ...
24 Bituminous sandstones in the Uinta Basin1964The largest single deposit of bituminous sandstones in the United States is found in the Uinta Basin. This deposit along with two other well known occurrences of bituminous sandstones in the northeastern portion of the basin have proved reserves exceeding 1% billion barrels of oil. The reserve calcu...
25 A brief history of early mineral exploitation in the Uinta Basin1964Uinta Basin; Mining; Uintah Valley; Indian Reservation; Meeker; Utah; History of early mineral exploitation; Uintah Reservation; Gilsonite; Coal; Copper; Iron; Oil shale; Ozocerite; Wurtzilite; Oil; Asphalt; Ashley Creek; Hatchtown; Vernal; Fort Duchesne; Ouray SubagencyEarly mining activities in the Uinta Basin can be summarized by saying that they included mining for gilsonite, coal, copper, iron, oil shale, ozocerite, wurtzilite, and oil and asphalt (under the placer mining laws). Of these minerals only coal and gilsonite were produced in commercially significan...
