5 Land and resource management issues relevant to deploying in-situ thermal technologies: Topical Report: October 1, 2009 to December 31, 20102011-01in-situ; oil shale; domestic energy source; oil sandsUtah is home to oil shale resources containing roughly 1.3 trillion barrels of oil equivalent and our nation's richest oil sands resources. If economically feasible and environmentally responsible means of tapping these resources can be developed, these resources could provide a safe and stable dome...
6 Lands with wilderness characteristics, Resource Management Plan constraints, and land exchanges: Cross-jurisdictional management and impacts on unconventional fuel development in Utah's Uinta Basin2012-03Utah oil shale; oil sands; unconventional fuel resources; land exchanges; land rightsUtah is rich in oil shale and oil sands resources. Chief among the challenges facing prospective unconventional fuel developers is the ability to access these resources. Access is heavily dependent upon land ownership and applicable management requirements. Understanding constraints on resource acce...
7 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...
