309 The extraction of bitumen from western oil sands: Volume 21997-11-26bitumen extraction; western oil sands; oil sands; synthetic fuels; natural bitumen; thermally-coupled fluidized-bed tar sands extraction processIn these days of plentiful fuel supplies, synthetic fuels are not in demand; but with the current rate of consumption of oil the importance of synthetic fuels will only increase. The United States currently imports 50% of its transportation fuel and such a dependence could be potentially dangerous, ...
310 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...

314 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...
315 Surface and shallow oil-impregnated rocks and shallow oil fields in the United States1965oil-impregnated rocks; shallow oil fields; petroleum-impregnated outcrops; tar sandsPetroleum-impregnated outcrops are widespread throughout eastern Utah and less so in the west and southwest. Within and around the periphery of the Uinta Basin, in the northeast are grouped some the best known "tar sands" in the United States, including the Sunnyside, Asphalt Ridge, and Whiterock de...

The research is orga...
317 Economic comparison of the thermal and hot-water process for recovery of oil from tar sands1978-11A comparison of the economics of the Hot Water and Thermal Process for recovery of oil from the tar sands at Sunnyside is presented using a plant size of 25,000 B/D of hydrocarbon products. The Thermal Process will require an investment of approximately $120,000,000. The product is a low viscosity f...
318 Utah tar sands1984Utah tar sands; survey notes; asphalt; bitumen; tar; land slides; snow slides; petroleum; tar sand resourceThe words, tar, asphalt, bitumen, pitch, and heavy oil often have been used to refer to highly viscous liquid, semi-solid, or solid, naturally occurring hydrocarbon substances. The word bitumen originated with the Romans and included all the various types of natural hydrocarbons. In its modern, comm...
