3 Basin oriented strategies for CO2 enhanced oil recovery: Rocky Mountain Region2006-02Rocky Mountain; Colorado; Utah; Wyoming; Oil; Gas; Enhanced oil recovery; EOR; CO2; Carbon dioxide injection; Oil fields; Basin oriented strategies; Domestic oil productionThe Rocky Mountain oil and gas producing region of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming has an original oil endowment of nearly 34 billion barrels. Of this, 11 billion barrels (33%) has been produced or proven. As such, nearly 23 billion barrels of oil will be left in the ground, or "stranded", following the ...
4 Taking another look at Utah's tar sand resources2009tar sand; tar sand resources; unconventional energy resource; alternate energy resource; oil impregnated sandstone; oil sand; bitumous sandstone; energy resourceRecent increases in the price of crude oil have sparked renewed interest in unconventional energy resources, including Utah s tar sands. Tar sands (also called oil-impregnated sandstones, oil sands, and bituminous sandstones) are, as the names imply, sandstones that are saturated or filled with blac...
5 Basin oriented strategies for CO2 enhanced oil recovery: Alaska2005-04Alaska; North Slope; Cook Inlet; Oil; Gas; Oil recovery; EOR; CO2; Carbon dioxide; Oil fields; Oil production industryThe oil and gas producing regions of Alaska have nearly 45 billion barrels of oil which will be left in the ground, or "stranded", following the use of today's oil recovery practices. A major portion of this "stranded oil" is in reservoirs technically and economically amenable to enhanced oil recove...
