In situ thermal processing of a coal formation using a controlled heating rate | 2004-06-15 | coal formation; in situ thermal process; in situ; thermal process; heating rate | A coal formation may be treated using an in situ thermal process. A mixture of hydrocarbons, H2, and/or other formation fluids may be produced from the formation. Heat may be applied to the formation to raise a temperature of a portion of the formation to a pyrolysis temperature. A heating rate to a... |

Oil shale and tar sands | 1976 | oil shale; tar sands; United States; alternative fuels; in situ processing; fractuing tests | To continue its growth or even its existence, the United States must find new energy supplies to replace the petroleum we are rapidly depleting. No fossil energy form can offer a long-range solution, but coal offers a mid-range solution. Unfortunately we're not geared to use it, and learning to appl... |
