5 A brief history of early mineral exploitation in the Uinta Basin1964Uinta Basin; Mining; Uintah Valley; Indian Reservation; Meeker; Utah; History of early mineral exploitation; Uintah Reservation; Gilsonite; Coal; Copper; Iron; Oil shale; Ozocerite; Wurtzilite; Oil; Asphalt; Ashley Creek; Hatchtown; Vernal; Fort Duchesne; Ouray SubagencyEarly mining activities in the Uinta Basin can be summarized by saying that they included mining for gilsonite, coal, copper, iron, oil shale, ozocerite, wurtzilite, and oil and asphalt (under the placer mining laws). Of these minerals only coal and gilsonite were produced in commercially significan...
6 Is tar sand development part of our future?1995-04tar sand development; tar sand; oil productionWhat a difference a decade makes. It has been almost 10 years since the last of several attempts to produce oil from the tar sands at Asphalt Ridge near Vernal, Utah. The only activity since that time has been mining the tar sand for road repair and paving material. The problem is not availability, ...

15 The bituminous sandstones of the Asphalt Ridge area, northeastern Utah1957bitumous sandstone; Asphalt Ridge area; stratigraphy; oil; asphalt saturationThe bituminous sandstones in the Asphalt Ridge area represent the seepage of millions of barrels of oil. The asphalt sands herein described lie 3 to 4 miles west and south of the town of Vernal, Utah. The deposits were mentioned in an early report by Eldridge (1901), who visited the deposits but did...
16 Water availability for development of major tar sands areas in Utah1979-05water availability; major tar sands area; development of tar sands; tar sands deposits; water requirements; water availabilityThe Sutron Corporation, under contract with Colorado State University, has conducted a study for the Laramie Energy Technology Center (LETC) to determine the availability of water for future extraction of viscous petroleum (bitumen) from the six major tar sands deposits in Utah. Specifically the are...
17 Some possible applications of thermal recovery in Utah1965-11thermal recovery; applications of thermal recovery; oil reserves; bituminous sandstones; thermal project; bituminous oil sandThe bituminous sandstones of the Rocky Mountain region have significant reserves of oil. Production costs of the reserves must be reduced to be equal to or lower than the cost of crude oil produced by conventional methods. Three Utah deposits alone, Sunny side, Vernal (Asphalt Ridge) and Whiterocks ...
18 Bituminous sandstones in the Uinta Basin1964The largest single deposit of bituminous sandstones in the United States is found in the Uinta Basin. This deposit along with two other well known occurrences of bituminous sandstones in the northeastern portion of the basin have proved reserves exceeding 1% billion barrels of oil. The reserve calcu...
