A model of hydrocarbon generation from type 1 kerogen: Application to the Uinta Basin, Utah | 1986-12-18 | Pyrolysis; Green River shale; Petroleum; Utah; Uinta Basin; Kerogen; Oil; Eocene; Type I kerogen; Hydrocarbon generation; Oil generation; Gas generation; Kinetics | The 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... |

A brief history of early mineral exploitation in the Uinta Basin | 1964 | Uinta 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 Subagency | Early 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... |

Basin oriented strategies for CO2 enhanced oil recovery: Alaska | 2005-04 | Alaska; North Slope; Cook Inlet; Oil; Gas; Oil recovery; EOR; CO2; Carbon dioxide; Oil fields; Oil production industry | The oil and gas producing regions of Alaska have nearly 45 billion barrels of oil which will be left in the ground, or "stranded", following the use of today's oil recovery practices. A major portion of this "stranded oil" is in reservoirs technically and economically amenable to enhanced oil recove... |

Basin oriented strategies for CO2 enhanced oil recovery: Rocky Mountain Region | 2006-02 | Rocky Mountain; Colorado; Utah; Wyoming; Oil; Gas; Enhanced oil recovery; EOR; CO2; Carbon dioxide injection; Oil fields; Basin oriented strategies; Domestic oil production | The Rocky Mountain oil and gas producing region of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming has an original oil endowment of nearly 34 billion barrels. Of this, 11 billion barrels (33%) has been produced or proven. As such, nearly 23 billion barrels of oil will be left in the ground, or "stranded", following the ... |

A reconnaissance evaluation of heavy hydrocarbons in the Tar Sand Triangle | 1985-08 | Utah; Tar Sand Triangle; Permian White Rim Sandstone; Moenkopi Formation; Cedar Mesa Sandstone; Chinle Formation; Oil; Oil-impregnated sandstone deposit; In-situ; Heavy hydrocarbons; Triassic; Jurassic Navajo Sandstone | The Tar Sand Triangle encompasses about 200 square miles in southeastern Utah. The area consists of rough, mountainous terrain, with a climate that varies from semiarid to arid. Sedimentary rocks exposed in the area range from Permian Cedar Mesa Sandstone to the Triassic(?)-Jurassic Navajo Sandstone... |

An assessment of oil shale and tar sand development in the state of Utah: Phase 2--policy analysis | 1982 | Oil shale; Tar sand development; Utah; Synthetic fuels; Uintah Basin; Northeastern Utah; Petroleum reserves; Tar sand; Oil; Synthetic Fuel commercialization viability | The potential development of synthetic fuels in the United States has been characterized by a great variation in preceived economies. The interest has been on an upswing during the decade of the 1970's due to the possibility of synthetic fuels lessening U.S. dependence on foreign oil. However, even ... |

Economic impacts of U.S. liquid fuel mitigation options | 2006-07-08 | Oil; Oil shortages; United States dependence on oil imports; Energy Security; Vehicle fuel efficiency (VFE); Coal liquefaction; Coal-to-liquids (CTL); Oil shale; Enhanced oil recovery (EOR); Oil peaking; Liquid fuels | The world is consuming more oil than it is finding, and at some point within the next decade or two, world production of conventional oil will likely peak. Peaking will lead to shortages and greatly increased prices and price volatility. In addition to peaking and its consequences, there are widespr... |
