1 Conjunctive surface and groundwater management in Utah: Implications for oil shale and oil sands development2011-12-31Unconventional fuel development; Conjunctive water use; Surface water; Groundwater; Utah; Utah water law; Oil shale; Oil sandsUnconventional fuel development will require scarce water resources. In an environment characterized by scarcity, and where most water resources are fully allocated, prospective development will require minimizing water use and seeking to use water resources in the most efficient manner. Conjunctive...
2 Unconventional fuel development in the western United States: Integrated assessment of water resources, carbon, and energy impacts and management strategies2009unconventional fuels; water resources; carbon; energy impacts; fossil fuels; oil shale; CO2 imprint; CO2 capture and sequestration.The Western United States contains rich fossil resources including abundant supplies of oil shale that could be used to develop substantial quantities of transportation fuel, enhancing energy security in the United States. Development of these resources poses significant questions regarding water re...
3 Policy analysis of water availability and use issues for domestic oil shale and oil sands development: Topical Report: October 1, 2009 to March 31, 20102010-03oil shale/sands resources; energy source; unconventional fuels; water demands; water availability; domestic oil shale/sands development; topical reportOil shale and oil sands resources located within the intermountain west represent a vast, and as of yet, commercially untapped source of energy. Development will require water, and demand for scarce water resources stands at the front of a long list of barriers to commercialization. Water requiremen...
4 Water management for oil sand and oil shale development in Utah: Challenges and solutions2009-02-27water management; oil sands; oil shale; integrated water managementAnalysis of the water management and impact issues relevant to oil sands and oil shale development in Utah, presented at the 2009 Western U.S. Oil Sands Conference by Steve Burian, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Utah
5 Policy analysis of produced water issues associated with in-situ thermal technologies: Topical report: October 1, 2009 to December 31, 20102011-01topical report; produced water issues; in situ thermal technologies; oil shale/sands; water rights; domestic energy sourceCommercial scale oil shale and oil sands development will require water, the amount of which will depend on the technologies adopted and the scale of development that occurs. Water in oil shale and oil sands country is already in scarce supply, and because of the arid nature of the region and limita...
6 An assessment of oil shale and tar sand development in the state of Utah: Phase 11980-05Oil shale; Tar sand; Utah; Synthetic fuels; Tar sand development; Tar sand depositsThis assessment is the result of an interest and commitment by the State of Utah to both promote development of its vast energy resources and to manage the impacts associated with such development. As the development of Utah oil shale and tar sands became more imminent a specific proposal to study t...
7 APPENDIX D - Meeting data needs to perform a water impact assessment for oil shale development in the Uinta and Piceance Basins, A subpart of project - Quantifying water availability impacts and protecting water quality while developing Utah oil shale and sands - Final Project Report - Reporting period: June 21, 2006 to October 21, 20092009-06-23Uinta Basin; Piceance Basins; Water impact assessments; Oil shale developmentThe goal of this project was to mitigate water resources impacts from oil shale development in the U.S. by compiling geospatial data and water use estimates to assess water availability impacts.
8 Oil shale: History, incentives, and policy2006-04-13oil shale; retorted oil shale yeilds; liquid hydrocarbonsOil shale is prevalent in the western states of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. The resource potential of these shales is estimated to be the equivalent of 1.8 trillion barrels of oil in place. Retorted oil shale yields liquid hydrocarbons in the range of middle-distillate fuels, such as jet and diesel...
