326 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 ...

328 Depositional setting and preliminary oil-shale resource potential, southwestern Uinta Basin, Utah1982Oil shale; Uinta Basin; Utah; Green River; Oil yield; Lake Uinta; Mohogany zone; Kerogen; Sheep Pass; Elko Basins; Nevada; Strawberry Structure; Strawberry ReservoirThis report characterizes the potential oil-shale resources underlying those lands west of the Green River in the southwestern Uinta Basin, Utah. The principal evaluation technique has been the calculation of oil yield from oil-well sonic and density log data available in this area. Subsurface corre...
329 Description of work elements1968-08-26Previous programs have initiated and refined the development of a Utah population model to be used in projection of future requirements of both public and private facilities, goods and services.
330 Description of work elements IV: land use model1968-08-26Previous programs have initiated and refined the development of a Utah population model to be used in projection of future requirements of both public and private facilities, goods and services. The present state population forecasts are based upon the "cohort-survival" method of analysis of birth r...
331 Detailed kinetic analysis of oil shale pyrolysis TGA data2011-03-22kinetic analysis; oil shale pyrolysis; TGA data; AIChE; oil shale resourses; western United States; Green River oil shaleThere are significant resources of oil shale in the western United States, which if exploited in an environmentally responsible manner would provide secure access to transportation fuels. Understanding the kinetics of kerogen decomposition to oil is critical to designing a viable process. A dataset ...
332 Determination of oil shale potential Green River Formation, Uinta Basin northeast Utah1967-11-03
333 Determination of sulfur anions in spent oil shale leachates by ion chromatography1989-07The leaching and transport of chemical constituents from spent oil shale disposal areas is an area of environmental concern at the present time. Sulfur-containing compounds are prevalent in spent oil shales and have the potential to leach into aqueous systems surrounding disposal sites. Computer mod...
334 Determination of the major elements and trace metals present in bitumen from several tar sand deposits1985-01The results of the analyses of 14 tar sand samples for the concentration of major elements and trace metals are presented. Ten samples were obtained from the Uinta Basin of Utah, three from the southeastern part of Utah, and one from New Mexico. In general, the major element composition of the bitum...
335 The determination of the major elements and trace metals present in bitumen from several tar sand deposits1985-01trace metals in bitumen; tar sand deposits; tar sand; bitumen extractionThe results of the analyses of 14 tar sand samples for the concentration of major elements and trace metals are presented. Ten samples were obtained from the Uinta Basin of Utah, three from the southeastern part of Utah, and one from New Mexico. In general, the major element composition of the bitum...
336 The development of a bench scale metal distillation furnace (retort)1995-06-19bench scale metal distillation furnace; retort; spent reactor fuel; actinides recoveryProcesses for the recovery of actinides from spent reactor fuel being studied at Argonne National Laboratory required the design of a high-temperature vacuum furnace, the furnace has to be able to melt actinides, distill volatile metals (Zn and Mg), be operable in a nitrogen glovebox with low head r...
337 Development of an eastern shale oil residue as an asphalt additive: Subtask 2.51997-08-11eastern shale oil residue; asphalt additive; western shale oil-derived asphalt additive; oxidative age hardening; shale oil chemistryAn evaluation of eastern shale oil as an asphalt additive to reduce oxidative age hardening and moisture susceptibility is being conducted. An eastern shale oil residue having a viscosity of 1.30 Pa.s at 60° C (140°F) was blended with three different petroleum-derived asphalts that are known to be...
338 Development of an inclined liquid fluidized bed for tar sand processing1989-12An inclined liquid fluidized-bed reactor (ILFBR) system has been developed and successfully operated for 24 hours. Modifications to the previously tested ILFBR systems include incorporation of a oil fluidizing zone in the front of the fluid bed, an increase in the angle of the fluid bed to -12 (the ...
339 Development of baseline data and analysis of life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of petroleum-based fuels2008-11-26baseline data and analysis; life cycle greenhouse gas emissions; petroleum based fuels; alternative transportation fuel options; GHG emissions; reduce greenouse gass emissionsAlternative transportation fuel options are currently being explored or implemented across the nation to (1) reduce climate change impacts from the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs), (2) reduce our reliance on foreign sources of energy, and (3) provide an economically-stable transportation fuel sou...
340 Development of CFD-based simulation tools for in situ thermal processing of oil shale/sands2012-02CFD; in situ; in situ thermal processing; oil shale; oil sandsIn our research, we are taking the novel approach of developing and applying high performance computing, computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based simulation tools to a modified in-situ process for production of oil from oil shale. The simulation tools being developed capture the relevant physical pr...
341 Development of the IIT Research Institute RF heating process for in situ oil shale/tar sand fuel extraction--an overview1981-04The history and current status of development of IITRI's RF process for in situ oil shale/tar sand fuel extraction is described . A brief description of the salient features of IITRI's RF process is given, together with a review of past laboratory development activities. Activities with in IITRI's ...
342 Development of Utah tar sands--a status report1977The hydrocarbon resource locked in Utah's tar sands has been estimated to be in excess of 25 billion barrels. Tar sands, known variously as oil sands, bituminous sandstone, or oil-impregnated sandstone, cannot be recovered by conventional primary or secondary petroleum recovery techniques because of...
343 Developments in upgrading of bitumen by hydropyrolysis1989hydropyrolysis; upgrading bitumen; gas processingHydropyrolysis, a short residence time, moderate temperature process, has been under development at the University of Utah for more than a decade.
