151 The Chinese wax mine: A unique oil-impregnated rock deposit1975Chinese wax mine; oil-impregnated rock deposit; oil; mineral wax; viscous oilThe Chinese Wax mine in Daniels Canyon, Wasatch County, Utah, is a small deposit of black, viscous, waxy oil emplaced in fractured, brecciated Oquirrh Formation (Pennsylvanian-Permian) on the Strawberry Valley (or Charleston) thrust sheet where the thrust has overriden the west margin of the Uinta B...
152 Combination solvent-noncondensible gas injection method for recovering petroleum from viscous petroleum-containing formations including tar sand deposits1978-08-29Patent; Petroleum; Tar sand deposits; Petroleum recovery; Viscous petroleum-containing formations; Gas injection; Unreactive; Combination solvent-noncondensible gas injection method; BitumenPetroleum may be recovered from viscous petroleum-containing formations including tar sand deposits by injecting into the formation a solvent which is liquid at formation conditions and simultaneously therewith injecting a substance which will remain totally gaseous at the pressure and temperature c...
153 Composition and origin of the Uinta Basin bitumens1963-01The names of the three formations of interest, from oldest to youngest, the Wasatch, Green River, and Uinta, have been used largely as facies terms to differentiate sediments which were believed to be of different age but actually were deposited simultaneously. The Wasatch is predominantly fluviatil...
154 Constraints on the commercialization of oil shale1978oil shale; commercialization of oil shale; constraints of commercialization; economic problems; institutional problems; surface oil shale technologiesBeyond supporting reseearch, development, and demonstration projects, government energy policy is directed toward introducing new energy technologies into commercial use. Considerable policy attention has been focused on the commercialization of energy process plants that produce substitutes for imp...
155 Control strategies for abandoned in situ oil shale retorts1979-04In situ oil shale retorting may result in a number of environmental impacts including degradation of local surface and groundwaters, low resource recovery and subsidence. The target of present oil shale commercialization activities is the Mahogany zone in Colorado's Piceance Creek Basin. The princip...
156 Coring and testing wells Asphalt Ridge, Utah1957-10-21A second well was cored and some injection and production tests were made using this well and the well that already existed on Gulf's Palmer lease at Asphalt Ridge, Utah. The formation that has been tested is the Duchesne River, which is more lenticular and erratic than the Mesa Verde which contains...

Schurr and Netschert. The quotation is: "Relatively simple calculations of the volume of oil shale...
159 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.
160 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...
161 Determination of oil shale potential Green River Formation, Uinta Basin northeast Utah1967-11-03
162 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...
163 Directory of State of Utah statistics 19711971-09The Directory of State of Utah Statistics has been developed in response to the need for a fairly comprehensive guide to statistical information published by the State. The Directory is intended to fulfill two objectives. The first and major objective is to make available to policy makers, planners ...
164 Domestic tar sands and potential recovery methods--a review1969-12The purpose of this paper is to review and evaluate present knowledge of United States tar sands including physical properties, occurrence, reserves, and recovery methods. Tar sands are oil, bitumen, asphalt, tar, or petroleum-impregnated rock from which little hydrocarbon material is recoverable by...
165 Double solvent extraction of organic constituents from tar sands1977-09-06Extraction of hydrocarbons from tar sands with a light naphtha/methanol solvent system results in rapid decrepitation of the tar-sand aggregate and separation of organic matter into three phases. Distribution of the extracted and non-extracted organic material is among the phases. The most desirable...
166 Dow shale site tracer gas pressurization study1977-10Systems, Science and Software (S3) has developed tracer gas/ pressurization techniques necessary to determine critical media properties of underground regions. Application of this technology is especially relevant to analysis of an oil shale retort volume. During the period 7 July to 14 July 1977, a...
167 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...
168 The effect of feed source in the hot water processing of Utah tar sand1979-02Tar sand; Utah; Bitumen; Hot water separation; Froth flotation; energy demandThe processing strategy for the effective separation of bitumen from low grade (< 10 weight percent bitumen) Utah tar sands by a hot water process differs significantly from that used for the processing of high grade (> 10 weight percent bitumen) Utah tar sands. Excellent separations (coefficient of...
