26 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...
27 Regulatory promotion of emergent CCS technology - Topical report2014-01CCS technology; climate change; mitigation strategies; carbon capture and sequestrationDespite the growing inevitability of climate change and the attendant need for mitigation strategies, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) has yet to gain much traction in the United States. Recent regulatory proposals by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), limited in scope to new-buil...

34 Oil sands: Resource, recovery, and industry1980oil sands; tar sand; bituminous sandstone; oil impregnated sandstone; bituminous sand; synthetic fuelsOil sand, tar sand, bituminous sandstone, oil impregnated sandstone, or bituminous sand, by one name or another, have been identified in almost every country of the world and in almost every state in the United States. By far the largest and most commercially attractive deposits are in Alberta, Cana...
35 U.S. tar sand oil recovery projects--19841984-11U.S. tar sand; oil recovery projects; Eastern Oil Shale Symposium; alternate liquid hydrocarbon sources; oil shale; coal; tar sandWith a temporarily stable world oil price, which is lower than estimated values for most unconventional liquid hydrocarbon fuels, interest and activity in U. S. tar sands has declined. Data are reported for 52 projects involving in situ, mining and plant extraction, and modified in situ technologies...

In its outreach efforts this quarter, ICSE finalized materials for a short course on kerogen liquefaction ...
46 Results of mathematical modeling of an oil shale retort having a fluidized-bed pyrolyzer and a lift-pipe combustor1988-10Mathematical modeling; oil shale retort; fluidized-bed pyrolyzer; lift-pipe combustor; computer modelA commercial-size, hot-solids recycle retorting process, consisting of a staged fluidized-bed pyrolyzer and a lift-pipe combustor, was simulated using a previously developed mathematical model. The focus of this work at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is to show the effects of varying ...
47 Results of mathematical modeling of an oil shale retort having a fluidized-bed pyrolyzer and a lift-pipe combustor1988-01mathematical modeling; oil shale retort; fluidezed-bed pyrolyzer; lift-pipe combustior; varying key process parametersMany aboveground processes have been proposed for retorting oil shale. The common objective is to heat oil shale particles to 450-600°C to pyrolyze the kerogen in the shale and form oil. Either hot gas or hot solid particles may be used to supply heat to the shale. Hot-solids processes heat the coo...
48 Carbon capture and sequestration: A regulatory gap assessment - Topical report2012-04carbon capture and sequestration; gap assessment; CCS; climate changeThough a potentially significant climate change mitigation strategy, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) remains mired in demonstration and development rather than proceeding to full-scale commercialization. Prior studies have suggested numerous reasons for this stagnation. This Report seeks to e...
