Conjunctive surface and groundwater management in Utah: Implications for oil shale and oil sands development | 2011-12-31 | Unconventional fuel development; Conjunctive water use; Surface water; Groundwater; Utah; Utah water law; Oil shale; Oil sands | Unconventional 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... |

Control of process aid used in hot water process for extraction of bitumen from tar sand | 1984-07-31 | Tar sand; Bitumen; Tar sand feed; Free surfactant content; Slurry; Bitumen froth recovery; Bitumen; Hot water process; Bitumen extraction; Extraction circuit | The hot water process is sensitive to the nature of the tar sand feed, which varies. An alkaline process aid, usually NaOH, is normally added to the conditioning step of the process and is needed to obtain good bitumen recovery from most tar sand feeds. The invention is based on the discovery that, ... |

Control strategies for abandoned in situ oil shale retorts | 1979-04 | In situ oil shale retorting may result in a number of environmental impacts including degradation of local surface and groundwaters, low resource recovery and subsidence. The target of present oil shale commercialization activities is the Mahogany zone in Colorado's Piceance Creek Basin. The princip... | |

Conversion of hydrocarbon gases to liquid in the fluidized bed retort | 1987-06-12 | A free radical steady-state mechanism has been developed to explain qualitative and quantitative aspects of the generation of hydrocarbon gases in the solid-recycle fluidized bed retort. The mechanism relies on what is known about butane cracking. The 1- and 2-butyl free radicals have been studied a... | |

Coring and testing wells Asphalt Ridge, Utah | 1957-10-21 | A second well was cored and some injection and production tests were made using this well and the well that already existed on Gulf's Palmer lease at Asphalt Ridge, Utah. The formation that has been tested is the Duchesne River, which is more lenticular and erratic than the Mesa Verde which contains... | |

Crumb rubber dispersion in tar sand bitumen | 1996 | crumb rubber dispersion; tar sand bitumen; crumb rubber; scrap rubber; bitumen co-processing | The results from preliminary experiments of scrap rubber and bitumen co-processing aimed at preparation of a polymer-modified asphaltic product are presented. For 20 and 40 wt% rubber content in rubberized asphalt, complete rubber dispersion in the bitumen was obtained. |

Data informed multipoint ground flare evaluation using measurement and theory | This paper will explore the comparison of experimental (PFTIR) and simulation data obtained from assisted multipoint ground flares operating at high turndown. The flare assist is intended to encourage air entrainment for best combustion efficiency as well as reduce visible smoke. Operational envelop... | ||

Decarbonizing: the future of hydrogen firing | Historically, firing hydrogen fuel was only economical in certain applications outside of the power industry. Unlike other fossil fuels, hydrogen does not naturally exist as H2 and is commonly produced in hydrogen reformers and considered an energy carrier and not an energy source. Steam-methane ref... | ||

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... | |

Demographic patterns and characteristics of Utah | The historical emphasis on numbers rather than on the quality and make-up of the population, though scarcely justifiable, is understandable. Concentration on a single magnitude certainly simplifies the projection of a population. To illustrate, the world population is now approximately 3.5 billion. ... | ||

Demographic trends affecting public education in Utah | 2000-11 | Beginning in 2004 and continuing for at least a decade, the school age population (5 to 18 year olds) in Utah will increase significantly. Throughout the 1990s, the school age population in Utah grew more slowly than did the population in general so that its share in the total population declined. T... | |
