4 Utah's tar sand resource: Geology, politics, and economics1976Utah tar sand; tar sand resource; geology; politics; economics; oil-impregnated rock deposits; oil shale; tar sandsTwelve of fifty deposits of oil-impregnated rock in Utah contain 98 percent of the 26 billion barrels estimated in place. This is about 90 to 95 percent of the total mapped U.S. resource. Several deposits have been and are mined for paving material. Extraction of oil from three deposits is beginning...
5 Field guide to lacustrine and related nonmarine depositional environments in tertiary rocks, Uinta Basin, Utah1976-11lacustrine environments; nonmarine depositional environments; tertiary rocksThe lower part of the Tertiary System in the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah and northwestern Colorado (fig. 1) reflects a series of very complex and variable forms of continental sedimentation in a basin of internal drainage. These complex forms represent the disruption of the Cretaceous depositio...
6 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...
7 Potential hydrologic impacts of a tar-sand industry in 11 special tar sand areas in eastern Utah1983crude oil tar-sand deposits; U.S. Bureau of Land Management; Tar Sand Triangle area; hydrolic impactAbout 93 percent of the Nation's estimated 30 billion barrels of crude oil in tar-sand deposits is in 11 areas in eastern Utah that were chosen for leasing by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The largest deposit, which is in the Tar Sand Triangle area, contains about 15 billion barrels of oil. Th...
