226 Primary oil-shale resources of the Green River Formation in the eastern Uinta Basin, Utah1983-03potential oil resources; Green River Formation; primary oil-shale resource; Lacustrine oil shalesResources of potential oil in place in the Green River Formation are measured and estimated for the primary oil-shale resource area east of the Green River in Utah's Uinta Basin. The area evaluated (Ts 7-14 S, Rs 19-25 E) includes most of, and certainly the best of Utah's oil-shale resource. For res...
227 Classification, petrographic expression, and reflectance of native bitumen1998-11-19Native bitumen is naturally occurring, solid organic material that originates, with few exceptions, from material expelled by sedimentary organic matter during catagenesis. Note that, in this text, the word bitumen is used to mean "native bitumen" rather than the common meaning of organic matter ext...

234 Occurrence, properties, and uses of some natural bitumens1961Natural bitumens; Hydrocarbon; Cannel coals; TorbanitesIn this report, the Federal Bureau of Mines presents a summary of the occurrence, properties, and uses of some natural bitumens, using the layman's or dictionary definition of bitumens - that is, naturally occurring hydrocarbons. Emphasis is on the less common solid and semisolid bitumens, particula...
235 Policy analysis of the Canadian oil sands experience-Topical Report2013-09Topical Report; Oil & Natural Gas Technology; October 1, 2009-September 30, 2014; Canadian Oil Sands; Policy; Subtask 6.2For those who support U.S. oil sands development, the Canadian oil sands industry is often identified as a model the U.S. might emulate, yielding financial and energy security benefits. For opponents of domestic oil sands development, the Canadian oil sands experience illustrates the risks that oppo...
