31 Pore scale analysis of oil shale/sands pyrolysis2011-03-31pore scale analysis; oil shale/sands pyrolysis; shale oil production; domestic oil shale depositsThere are important questions concerning the quality and volume of pore space that is created when oil shale is pyrolyzed for the purpose of producing shale oil. In this report, 1.9 cm diameter cores of Mahogany oil shale were pyrolyzed at different temperatures and heating rates. Detailed 3D imagin...
32 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...
33 Policy analysis of produced water issues associated with in-situ thermal technologies: Topical report: October 1, 2009 to December 31, 20102011-01topical report; produced water issues; in situ thermal technologies; oil shale/sands; water rights; domestic energy sourceCommercial scale oil shale and oil sands development will require water, the amount of which will depend on the technologies adopted and the scale of development that occurs. Water in oil shale and oil sands country is already in scarce supply, and because of the arid nature of the region and limita...
34 Land and resource management issues relevant to deploying in-situ thermal technologies: Topical Report: October 1, 2009 to December 31, 20102011-01in-situ; oil shale; domestic energy source; oil sandsUtah is home to oil shale resources containing roughly 1.3 trillion barrels of oil equivalent and our nation's richest oil sands resources. If economically feasible and environmentally responsible means of tapping these resources can be developed, these resources could provide a safe and stable dome...
35 Lands with wilderness characteristics, Resource Management Plan constraints, and land exchanges: Cross-jurisdictional management and impacts on unconventional fuel development in Utah's Uinta Basin2012-03Utah oil shale; oil sands; unconventional fuel resources; land exchanges; land rightsUtah is rich in oil shale and oil sands resources. Chief among the challenges facing prospective unconventional fuel developers is the ability to access these resources. Access is heavily dependent upon land ownership and applicable management requirements. Understanding constraints on resource acce...
36 Gasification studies - Task 4 topical report, Utah Clean Coal Program, Reporting period October 2009 - July 20112011-10Gasification; pressurized entrained-flow coal gasifiers; coalA key objective of the Task 4 activities has been to develop simulation tools to support development, troubleshooting and optimization of pressurized entrained-flow coal gasifiers. The overall gasifier models (Subtask 4.1) combine submodels for fluid flow (Subtask 4.2) and heat transfer (Subtask 4.3...
37 Effect of pressure on copper/copper-oxide system functioning as an oxygen carrier in chemical looping combustion2010-06-10copper/copper-oxide system; chemical looping combustion; CLC; high pressure thermogravimetic analysisChemical Looping Combustion (CLC) is a promising technology that will utilize more efficient harvesting of energy along with decreased CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. In CLC system the emissions are composed of CO2 and H2O allowing the CO2 to be captured and disposed of in an environmentally more...
