256 Attrition and abrasion models for oil shale process modeling1991-10-25As oil shale is processed, line particles, much smaller than the original shale are created. This process is called attrition or more accurately abrasion. In this paper, models of abrasion are presented for oil shale being processed in several unit operations. Two of these unit operations, a fluidiz...

263 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...
264 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 ...
265 Basin-wide evaluation of the uppermost Green River Formation's oil-shale resource, Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado2008Green River; Uinta Basin; Utah; Colorado; Crude oil; Green River Formation; Oil; Gas; Oil yield; Oil shale; Oil-shale thickness; Mahogany zone; R-7; Parachute Creek Member; Richness grade; Uintah County; Salt Lake Base Line and Meridian; BLM; U.S. Bureau of Land ManagementDue to the recent increase in crude oil prices and concerns over diminishing conventional reserves, the Utah Geological Survey has reexamined the Uinta Basin's oil-shale resource, primarily in the Mahogany zone of the Green River Formation. Past assessments, the first conducted in 1964 and subsequen...

270 Biofuels--snake oil for the twenty-first century2008-12-01Most Americans are painfully aware that our present consumption of petroleum is unsustainable. The United States has less than 5% of the world's population, but consumes 24.4% of the world's petroleum production. Only 8.5% of the world's petroleum production comes from American wells, which necessit...
271 Biological markers from Green River kerogen decomposition1981-09Isoprenoid and other hydrocarbons that are formed in living organisms and preserved in ancient sediments are often called biological markers. The purpose of this paper is to develop improved methods of using isoprenoid hydrocarbons to trace petroleum or shale oil to its source. It is demonstrated th...

274 Bitumen deposits of northwest Alabama1987bitumen deposits; northwest Alabama deposits; bituminous rocksBituminous rocks of Mississippian age crop out in northwest Alabama within a 113-km (70-mi) long belt. Bitumen deposits have been confirmed by coreholes to be present in the subsurface for a distance of at least 16-24 km (10-15 mi) south of the outcrop. Geochemical analyses indicate the bitumen to b...
