Schurr and Netschert. The quotation is: "Relatively simple calculations of the volume of oil shale...
3 An echoing in-situ combustion oil recovery project in a Utah tar sand1982in-situ combustion; oil recovery project; Utah tar sand; echoing in-situ; U.S. tar sand resources; reverse combustion process; heterogeneous tar sand reservoirU.S. tar sand resources contain an estimated 30 billion bbl (4.7 Gm3) of oil in place in about 550 occurrences in 22 states. Over 90% of the known resources are in six large deposits in Utah, each containing from 1 to 16 billion bbl (0.15 to 2.5 Gm3) of oil. 1 Four major tar sand deposits in Alberta...
4 A model of hydrocarbon generation from type 1 kerogen: Application to the Uinta Basin, Utah1986-12-18Pyrolysis; Green River shale; Petroleum; Utah; Uinta Basin; Kerogen; Oil; Eocene; Type I kerogen; Hydrocarbon generation; Oil generation; Gas generation; KineticsThe Uinta Basin in northeastern Utah provides an ideal setting to study the evolution of kerogen to petroleum. Oil shale rocks of the Eocene-age Green River Formation outcrop extensively at the southern edge of the synclinal basin. The same rocks are also found at depths of 3650 m in the deepest par...
5 Oil recovery from a Utah tar sand deposit by in situ combustion1978-06-06The U. S. tar sand resource consists of an estimated 30 billion barrels (4.7Gm^3 ) of oil. Most of this resource is in six large deposits in Utah. Through research and development to prove tar sand oil recovery methods, the Department of Energy is attempting to stimulate commercialization of this re...
6 Capitol Reef-Miners Mountain oil-impregnated rock occurrences1967The Capitol Reef bituminous sandstone area occurs mainly on the northern and northeastern portions of the area known as Miners Mountain. This is a dome structure of the Teasdale anticline, the axis of which parallels the Teasdale fault system.
7 Characterization of Uinta Basin oil sand bitumens1992-11-15Uinta Basin; Oil sand bitumens; Southwest Whiterocks; Northwest Whiterocks; Asphalt Ledge; Sunnyside; Solvent extraction; Elution chromatography; Saturate and monoaromatic fractions; Polycyclic naphthenes; Naphthenoaromatics; Steranes; HopanesResults of the analyses of the saturate and monoaromatic fractions of four Uinta Basin bitumens (southwest Whiterocks, northwest Whiterocks, Asphalt ledge and Sunnyside) are presented in this paper. After separating the bitumen samples into several fractions using solvent extraction and elution chro...
8 In situ recovery of oil from Utah tar sand: A summary of tar sand research at the Laramie Energy Technology Center1985-10in situ recovery; oil recovery; Utah tar sand; tar sand research; Laramie Energy Technology Center; LETC; future recovery of oil; U.S. tar sandsExecutive Summary: This report describes work done by the United States Department of Energy's Laramie Energy Technology Center (LETC) from 1971 through 1982 to develop technology for future recovery of oil from U.S. tar sands. Work was concentrated on major U.S. tar sand deposits that are found in ...
9 Oil-impregnated sandstones of Raven Ridge, Vernal, Utah1972Oil-impregnated sandstone; Raven Ridge; Vernal, Utah; Uinta Basin; Utah; Colorado; Wasatch Formation; Green River Formation; Uinta FormationThe area of this report is in the northeastern part of the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah and northwestern Colorado. The area covers approximately 52 square miles of what is regionally called Raven Ridge. Raven Ridge, a series of hogback ridges, trends northwest-southeast, and includes three Eocen...
10 A geochemical survey in the Santa Barbara Channel and its relationship to subsurface heavy-oil deposits1987-11-02geochemical survey; Santa Barbara Channel; subsurface heavy-oil deposits; oil fieldsA geochemical survey was conducted in a part of the Santa Barbara Channel that contains three oil fields: Hondo, Pescado, and Sacate. The fields, especially Hondo, contain substantial reserves of low-gravity oil (14-26° API) in the fractured Monterey Formation of middle Miocene age. The light hydro...
11 APPENDIX E - Integrated treatment of produced water by chemical and biological unit operations, 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 21st, 2006 to October 21st, 20092010-10-07Water treatment; Water quality - Utah; Oil shale and sandsWater generated along with oil, gas, and coal bed methane production is commonly known as produced water, formation water, or oilfield brine [1]. Produced water represents the largest waste stream volume in production operations on most offshore platforms [2]. According to the American Petroleum Ins...
12 Definition and world resources of natural bitumens1990Natural 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...
13 Combustion of municipal solid wastes with oil shale in a circulating fluidized bed1996-06-30The authors of this report have invented an integrated process for the treatment of municipal solid waste (MSW). In this process, after recycling steps to save usable materials such as aluminum, other metals, and glass have been completed, the resulting refusederived fuel (RDF) is co-combusted with ...
