101 XRF cross plots all cores2014core plot; cross plots; XRF
102 West-East core-based cross section through the middle to upper Green River formation, Uinta Basin, Utah - Plate 12014well log; well log cross section; economic oil shale; Mahogany zone; Green River FormationConclusions/observations from west-east cross section: The top of economic oil shale was picked at the top of the lower R-8 zone (top of the Big Three rich oil shale beds). This zone was selected to avoid the abundant saline minerals found in the overlaying saline zone, which often contains high-TDS...

112 QEMSCAN analysis of Green River Formation oil shale samples, Skyline 16 core, eastern Uinta basin, UT2014QEMSCAN; oil shale; Green River Formation; Skyline 16 core; minerologyConclusions in the presentations: 1. QEMscan analysis reveals mineralogic textures dominated by dolomite, illite, and calcite. 2. A few interpretations are made in regards to the documented compositional results generated automatically by the QEMscan: "Background" is assumed to reflect organic matt...

117 Regulatory promotion of emergent CCS technology - Topical report2014-01CCS technology; climate change; mitigation strategies; carbon capture and sequestrationDespite the growing inevitability of climate change and the attendant need for mitigation strategies, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) has yet to gain much traction in the United States. Recent regulatory proposals by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), limited in scope to new-buil...
118 Oxy-coal combustion studies - Task 3 topical report, Utah Clean Coal Program.2014-08oxy-coal combustion; Utah Clean Coal Program; oxy-coal; large eddy simulations; near-flame aerodynamics; pilot-scale oxy-CFB; single-particle oxy char oxidation; ash partitioning; carbon capture; pulverized coal-fired power plantsThe objective of this task is to move toward the development of a predictive capability with quantified uncertainty bounds for pilot-scale, single-burner, oxy-coal operation. This validation research brings together multi-scale experimental measurements and computer simulations. The combination of s...
119 Evaluation of well spacing and arrangement for in-situ thermal treatment of oil shale using HPC simulation tools2014-10well spacing; in-situ thermal treatment; oil shale; HPC simulation tools; oil shale resources; oil sands resources; basin scale simulation; liquid fuel productionThe mission of this presentation is to pursue research that improves industry's ability to utilize the vast energy stored in oil shale and oil sands resources with minimal environmental impact. Three main research areas looked at are: 1. Basin scale simulation of environmental and economic impacts o...
120 Validation/Uncertainty Quantification for Large Eddy Simulations of the heat flux in the Tangentially Fired Oxy-Coal Alstom Boiler Simulation Facility - Task 9 Topical Report, Utah Clean Coal Program2014-10large eddy simulations; Utah Clean Coal Program; heat flux; Tangenitally Fired Oxy-coal Alstom Boiler Simulation Facility; task 9; oxy-coal boilers; BSF; coalThe objective of this task is to produce predictive capability with quantified uncertainty bounds for the heat flux in commercial-scale, tangentially fired, oxy-coal boilers. Validation data came from the Alstom Boiler Simulation Facility (BSF) for tangentially fired, oxy-coal operation. This task b...
121 Rates and mechanisms of oil shale pyrolysis: A chemical structure approach2014-11Green River oil shale; oil and natural gas technology; oil shale pyrolysis; chemical structure of oil shaleThree pristine Utah Green River oil shale samples were obtained and used for analysis by the combined research groups at the University of Utah and Brigham Young University. Oil shale samples were first demineralized and the separated kerogen and extracted bitumen samples were then studied by a host...
