4 Policy analysis of water availability and use issues for domestic oil shale and oil sands development: Topical Report: October 1, 2009 to March 31, 20102010-03oil shale/sands resources; energy source; unconventional fuels; water demands; water availability; domestic oil shale/sands development; topical reportOil shale and oil sands resources located within the intermountain west represent a vast, and as of yet, commercially untapped source of energy. Development will require water, and demand for scarce water resources stands at the front of a long list of barriers to commercialization. Water requiremen...
5 Mineral management plan: Glen Canyon National Recreation Area--Arizona and Utah1980-03A General Management Plan (GMP) for Glen Canyon National Recreation Area was prepared during the period 1973 - 1979 and was approved on November 21, 1979, after it and an accompanying final environmental statement (FES 79-23) had been released to the public. That Plan called for the preparation of a...
6 Water for commercial oil shale development in Utah: Allocating scarce resources and the search for new sources of supply2010commercial oil shale development; allocating resources; oil shale; bitumenBACKGROUND A. What Is Oil Shale and Why Do We Care? Oil shale is a sedimentary rock containing solid bituminous materials. When oil shale is heated, petroleum-like liquids and gasses are released. The process of heating shale and capturing resulting liquids and gasses is called retorting and can occ...
7 An assessment of oil shale and tar sand development in the state of Utah: Phase 11980-05Oil shale; Tar sand; Utah; Synthetic fuels; Tar sand development; Tar sand depositsThis assessment is the result of an interest and commitment by the State of Utah to both promote development of its vast energy resources and to manage the impacts associated with such development. As the development of Utah oil shale and tar sands became more imminent a specific proposal to study t...
