12 Dow shale site tracer gas pressurization study1977-10Systems, Science and Software (S3) has developed tracer gas/ pressurization techniques necessary to determine critical media properties of underground regions. Application of this technology is especially relevant to analysis of an oil shale retort volume. During the period 7 July to 14 July 1977, a...
13 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...
