128 APPENDIX G - Detailed study of shale pyrolysis for oil production - A subpart of project oil shale pyrolysis and in situ modeling - Final Project Report - Reporting period: June 21, 2006 to October 21, 20092009-04-21Oil production; Shale assessmentThe oil shale industry is going through a revolution of sorts. After the oil crisis in the 1970s, a great deal of effort was spent on research and development and on pilot scale technologies. Extensive research was conducted with on-surface and in-situ production methods. Even though some large pilo...

130 Influence of the geological and geochemical characteristics of heavy oils on their recovery1987oil buoyancy; heavy oils; Likouala oil field; Emeraude oil field; water washing; oil saturation; biodegradationThe migration of an oil into a trap is governed by its buoyancy, the capillary pressure, and the hydrodynamic forces. For heavy oils the buoyancy is low; therefore, they can only saturate high-permeability zones, which are also preferentially swept by steam in a steam-drive recovery operation. Howev...
131 Sunnyside tar sand--comments on source, degradation, and maturity of the heavy oil1988-01Sunnyside tar sand; heavy oil; Sunnyside oil; mined tar sand; oilConclusions: 1. Many compounds in the Sunnyside oil have been seen in products from the Green River shale, indicating a Tertiary source for the heavy oil contained in the Sunnyside tar sand. 2. The absence of n-alkanes, branched alkanes, cyclohexanes, benzenes, naphthalenes and phenanthrenes, as wel...
132 Lessons learned from transient analysis of combustion equipment in the process industriesDuring gas flare operation, hydrocarbon gas is fed through a flare stack and ignited by a pilot. During the ignition process, flares generally produce significant amounts of smoke (see Figure 1) since enough mixing energy is not available to entrain surrounding air to completely burn the flare gas. ...
133 Modeling of asphaltenes: Assessment of sensitivity of 13C SSNMR to molecular structure2012asphaltenes; heavy oil; liquid hydrocarbon fuels; 13C SSNMR; molecular structure; refinery processAsphaltenes are an important constituent of many oils and one of the major components in heavy oils sources for liquid hydrocarbon fuels. With light oil sources rapidly depleting, it is necessary to use alternative sources from heavy oil reservoirs. Refining these heavy oil resources presents new ch...

136 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...
137 Quality growth efficiency tools: progress report1997-04The Quality Growth Efficiency Tools project team has been meeting since July 1996 to develop a process and set of tools to improve the quality of growth related information to plan for Utah's future. The Project's stated purpose is to improve the technical and analytical models used to forecast gr...
138 User guide for characterizing particulate matter: Evaluation of several real-time methods2003This User Guide is intended to assist environmental or military personnel who work with air quality measurements, regulations, and planning for the Department of Defense. Specifically, it focuses on an evaluation of three newly developed instruments for characterizing particulate matter (PM), genera...
