1 Conjunctive surface and groundwater management in Utah: Implications for oil shale and oil sands development2011-12-31Unconventional fuel development; Conjunctive water use; Surface water; Groundwater; Utah; Utah water law; Oil shale; Oil sandsUnconventional 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...
2 Water for commercial oil shale development in Utah: Allocating scarce resources and the search for new sources of supply2010commercial oil shale development; allocating resources; oil shale; bitumenBACKGROUND A. What Is Oil Shale and Why Do We Care? Oil shale is a sedimentary rock containing solid bituminous materials. When oil shale is heated, petroleum-like liquids and gasses are released. The process of heating shale and capturing resulting liquids and gasses is called retorting and can occ...
3 Unconventional fuel development in the western United States: Integrated assessment of water resources, carbon, and energy impacts and management strategies2009unconventional fuels; water resources; carbon; energy impacts; fossil fuels; oil shale; CO2 imprint; CO2 capture and sequestration.The Western United States contains rich fossil resources including abundant supplies of oil shale that could be used to develop substantial quantities of transportation fuel, enhancing energy security in the United States. Development of these resources poses significant questions regarding water re...

9 State planning in Utah1975In the fall of 1967, Ken Olson was considering the approach he would take in directing Utah's state planning program. The Governor had just appointed him State Planning Coordinator, to assume responsibility for the four year old program. Ken had earlier won the respect of the Governor and the previo...
10 The synthetic liquid fuel potential of Utah1951-10-15synthetic liquid fuel potential; oil-impregnated stripable deposits; oil saturationOil-impregnated stripable deposits are known in Carbon, Grand, and Uinta Counties in the Uinta Basin, in the northeastern part of the State (Exhibit No. D-l). Many of the deposits are narrow veins too small to be important, but larger deposits of bituminous sand and oil-saturated sandstones are foun...
11 Depositional environments of oil shale in the Green River Formation, Douglas Creek Arch, Colorado and Utah1985depositional environments; oil shale; Green River Formation; Douglas Creek Arch; stratigraphyDouglas Creek arch in western Colorado and eastern Utah separates the Uinta and Piceance Creek basins. During deposition of the lower part of the Eocene Green River Formation, the arch provided a physical barrier dividing ancient Lake Uinta into two segments. As the lake expanded, the arch became a ...
