Biomakers in oil shale: Occurrence and applications | 1982-10 | Biological markers, compounds derived essentially unchanged from living organisms, are found in oil-bearing rocks, petroleum and most ancient sediments. We are investigating the variation in ratios of certain biomarkers in shale oils and their use as tracers for relating oil to source rock during in... | |

Classification, petrographic expression, and reflectance of native bitumen | 1998-11-19 | Native bitumen is naturally occurring, solid organic material that originates, with few exceptions, from material expelled by sedimentary organic matter during catagenesis. Note that, in this text, the word bitumen is used to mean "native bitumen" rather than the common meaning of organic matter ext... | |

Characterization of DOE reference oil shale: Tipton Member, Green River Formation oil shale from Wyoming | 1988-08 | Measurements have been made of the chemical and physical properties of a Tipton Member Green River Formation oil shale from Wyoming. This shale has been designated as a western reference shale by the Department of Energy. Material balance Fischer assays, carbon aromaticities, thermal properties, and... | |

Comparison of methods for measuring kerogen pyrolysis rates and fitting kinetic parameters | 1987-03-23 | We determine rates of product evolution during pyrolysis of several petroleum source rocks and isolated kerogens by nonisothermal techniques, including Rock Eval pyrolysis and pyrolysis-MS/MS. The resulting data are analyzed by nonlinear regression and simpler correlation techniques in terms of disc... | |

In-situ combustion handbook--principles and practices | 1999-01 | in-situ combustion; oil reservoir; oil recovery; field trials; fireflood projects; combustion projects | For nearly 90 years in-situ combustion technique has been used in the U.S. in attempts to improve recovery from oil reservoirs. Despite its long history and commercial success of many field projects, the process has not found widespread acceptance among operators due to the excessive number of failu... |

Instrumental analysis of tars and their correlations in oil-impregnated sandstone beds, Uintah and Grand Counties, Utah | 1971-10 | tar analysis; oil-impregnated sandstone beds; sandstone. | The Wasatch, Green River and Uinta formations, in ascending order make up the normal sequence of exposed Eocene rocks in the southeast Uinta Basin, Uintah and Grand counties, Utah. They dip northward towards the center of the basin, relatively undisturbed by faulting, and exhibit a system of promine... |

Definition and world resources of natural bitumens | 1990 | Natural bitumens, semisolid or solid mixtures of hydrocarbons and as much as 50 percent heterocyclic compounds, are composed largely of carbon and hydrogen but have substituents of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and trace metals, especially iron, nickel, and vanadium. Bitumens are soluble in organic solv... | |

Assessment of research needs for oil recovery from heavy-oil sources and tar sands | 1982-03 | The Fossil Energy Research Working Group (FERWG), at the request of J. W. Mares (Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy) and A. W. Trivelpiece (Director, Office of Energy Research), has reviewed and evaluated the U.S. programs on oil recovery from heavy oil sources and tar sands. These studies were p... |
