10 Hypotheses of oil-shale genesis, Green River Formation, northeast Utah, northwest Colorado, and southwest Wyoming1985oil shale; Green River Formation; tar sandstoneIn the six decades or so of oil-shale studies on the Green River Formation (Paleocene/Eocene) in northeast Utah, northwest Colorado, and southwest Wyoming, two alternative hypotheses for the paleoenvironment have dominated the literature: (1) a stratified lake in which anaerobic conditions in the hy...
11 Preliminary report of oil impregnated sediments of the San Rafael Swell1970-06San Rafael Swell; oil impregnated sediments; petroleum depositsThe deposits are given the following geographic names: 1. Black Dragon Deposit 2. Jackass Bench Deposit 3. Cottonwood Draw Deposit 4. Red Canyon Deposit , 5. Family Butte Deposit The relationships (stratigraphic and horizontal) of the above deposits are uncertain. Deposits 2 and 3 occupy the same st...
12 Geologic summary report of the 1984 exploration program, Sunnyside Tar Sands project, Carbon County, Utah--volume 11985-06geologic summary; exploration program; tar sands; Sunnyside tar sand deposit.The 1984 Sunnyside exploration program consisted of: (1) diamond drilling of fifteen drill holes, (2) logging of all core and (3) additional geological mapping in the north area to better define the limits of the tar sands associated with the Sunnyside delta complex. Both regional and detailed geolo...
13 Quantitative methods for reservoir characterization and improved recovery: Application to heavy oil sands2001-10-30interwell reservoir heterogeneity; heavy oil sands; analytical property-distribution methods; reservoir simulationImproved prediction of interwell reservoir heterogeneity is needed to increase productivity and to reduce recovery cost for California's heavy oil sands, which contain approximately 2.3 billion barrels of remaining reserves in the Temblor Formation and in other formations of the San Joaquin Valley. ...
14 Tongues of the Green River and Uinta Formations in the Piceane Creek Basin1982Green River formations; Uinta formations; oil shale; thick zonesLake Uinta achieved its maximum extent durinq the deposition of the Mahogany bed, the richest oilshale unit in the Mahogany zone. Filling of the lake with stream-borne debris began immediately after deposition of the Mahogany bed. The lake gradually constricted from about 20,000 square miles in area...

18 Geologic summary report of the 1987 exploration program, Sunnyside Tar Sands project, Carbon County, Utah--volume 11988-06-01geologic summary report; 1987 exploration program; Sunnyside Tar Sands project; tar sand distribution; tar sands; bituminous sandstones1. The distribution of tar sands in the Sunnyside deposit is related to both structure and lithology. The structural control is associated with a northwest trending flexure that segments a large monocline which slopes gently into the Uinta Basin. The lithologic control is determined by porous and pe...
