136 Oil-impregnated sandstone mapping project Nine Mile Canyon area Carbon and Duchesne Counties, Utah: A field examination for the Utah Geological Survey1971-10-04Tributaries; Nine Mile canyon; Argyle canyon; Uinta Basin; Deltaic facies; Green River Formation; Parachute CreekA reconnaissance survey of tributaries to Nine Mile and Argyle canyons in the southern Uinta Basin showed widespread but erratic distribution of oil-impregnated sandstones. The occurrences are mainly in the Deltaic facies of the Green River formation. The bituminous material is believed to have been...
137 Oil shale project run summary, small retort: Run S-241981-10-07Oil shale; MIS; Modified in-situ oil shale retorting; Lawrence Livermore National LaboratoryA. Objective. Previous Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory pilot retort experiments, simulating modified in-situ (MIS) oil shale retorting, have employed relatively high (1-3 m/day) retorting rates. Such rates not only would have an obvious commercial economic advantage but, in pilot retort trial...
138 Oil-impregnated sandstones in Utah and Wayne Counties, Utah1972Thistle; Utah County; Jurassic sandstone; Thousand Lake Mountain; Wayne County; Oil-impregnated sediments; Asphalt-bearing Tertiary bedsTwo little known occurrences of oil-impregnated sediments are discussed briefly. One is a fairly extensive area of asphalt-bearing Tertiary beds in the vicinity of Thistle, Utah County. The other is a very limited exposure of Jurassic sandstone permeated with dead oil on Thousand Lake Mountain in Wa...
139 Oil shale quarterly report1990-09-05Aboveground oil shale retorting; Hot-Recycled-Solid; HRS; Pyrolysis; Lawrence Livermore National LaboratoryWe are studying aboveground oil shale retorting and have developed the LLNL Hot-Recycled-Solid (HRS) process as a generic, second-generation, rapid pyrolysis retorting system in which recycled shale is the solid heat carrier. In 1984-87, we operated a 1-tonne-per-day FIRS pilot plant to study retort...

The area covers approximately 52 square miles of what is regionally called Raven Ridge. Raven Ridge, a series of hogback ridges, trends northwest-southeast, and includes three Eocen...
141 On solar thermal processing and retorting of oil shale1988-05The general concept and a recent paper on solar oil shale retorting are critically reviewed. It is concluded that a recent paper by Berber and Fletcher (Energy 13. 13, 1988) contains erroneously high oil yields and provides no new valid information related to solar oil shale process design or econom...
142 Oil shale retorting in dense phase hot-solid recycle systems1988-06Oil shale processing remains primitive despite more that a century of study and development. To expand the industry in China, and to develop an industry in the U.S.A., more efficient, environmentally acceptable oil shale retorting schemes are required. Rapid pyrolysis, solid-recycle retorts offer hi...
143 Oil shale retorting processes: A technical overview1984-03The challenge facing the oil shale industry is to devise a simple and efficient retorting process that operates at low cost. This will require a thorough understanding of the important physical and chemical processes that occur during retorting, mathematical modeling to analyze the complex interacti...
