Conjunctive surface and groundwater management in Utah: Implications for oil shale and oil sands development | 2011-12-31 | Unconventional fuel development; Conjunctive water use; Surface water; Groundwater; Utah; Utah water law; Oil shale; Oil sands | Unconventional fuel development will require scarce water resources. In an environment characterized by scarcity, and where most water resources are fully allocated, prospective development will require minimizing water use and seeking to use water resources in the most efficient manner. Conjunctive... |

Control strategies for abandoned in situ oil shale retorts | 1979-04 | In situ oil shale retorting may result in a number of environmental impacts including degradation of local surface and groundwaters, low resource recovery and subsidence. The target of present oil shale commercialization activities is the Mahogany zone in Colorado's Piceance Creek Basin. The princip... | |

Conversion of hydrocarbon gases to liquid in the fluidized bed retort | 1987-06-12 | A free radical steady-state mechanism has been developed to explain qualitative and quantitative aspects of the generation of hydrocarbon gases in the solid-recycle fluidized bed retort. The mechanism relies on what is known about butane cracking. The 1- and 2-butyl free radicals have been studied a... | |

Coring and testing wells Asphalt Ridge, Utah | 1957-10-21 | A second well was cored and some injection and production tests were made using this well and the well that already existed on Gulf's Palmer lease at Asphalt Ridge, Utah. The formation that has been tested is the Duchesne River, which is more lenticular and erratic than the Mesa Verde which contains... | |

CRS report for Congress: Developments in oil shale | 2008-11-17 | Green River; Oil shale formation; Colorado; Utah; Wyoming; Oil; Oil shale; Diesel; Jet fuel; Department of Energy; DOE; Synthetic fuels; Petroleum; Energy Policy Act of 2005; EPAct; BLM; Oil research, development, and demonstration; RD&D; Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement; PEIS; Oil shale ... | The Green River oil shale formation in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming is estimated to hold the equivalent of 1.38 trillion barrels of oil equivalent in place. The shale is generally acknowledged as a rich potential resource; however, it has not generally proved to be economically recoverable. Thus, it ... |

Data informed multipoint ground flare evaluation using measurement and theory | This paper will explore the comparison of experimental (PFTIR) and simulation data obtained from assisted multipoint ground flares operating at high turndown. The flare assist is intended to encourage air entrainment for best combustion efficiency as well as reduce visible smoke. Operational envelop... | ||

Decarbonizing: the future of hydrogen firing | Historically, firing hydrogen fuel was only economical in certain applications outside of the power industry. Unlike other fossil fuels, hydrogen does not naturally exist as H2 and is commonly produced in hydrogen reformers and considered an energy carrier and not an energy source. Steam-methane ref... | ||

Definition and world resources of natural bitumens | 1990 | Natural bitumens, semisolid or solid mixtures of hydrocarbons and as much as 50 percent heterocyclic compounds, are composed largely of carbon and hydrogen but have substituents of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and trace metals, especially iron, nickel, and vanadium. Bitumens are soluble in organic solv... | |

Demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of Salt Lake County: sub-county analysis | 2006-12 | Salt Lake County; Projections; Estimates; Aging population; Baby boom; Utah; Salt Lake Aging Services; Kennecott Land | This paper is an examination of the shifting geographic distribution of the population within Salt Lake County over time as well as an analysis of the spatial distribution of its demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. It builds on the county-level analysis included in a separate section of t... |

Demographic patterns and characteristics of Utah | The historical emphasis on numbers rather than on the quality and make-up of the population, though scarcely justifiable, is understandable. Concentration on a single magnitude certainly simplifies the projection of a population. To illustrate, the world population is now approximately 3.5 billion. ... | ||

Design Considerations for Carbon-Free Combustion | Decarbonization; Hydrogen Combustion; Carbon Dioxide; Carbon-Free Combustion; CO2 Emissions; Greenhouse Gas Emissions | Combustion of a hydrocarbon produces water and carbon dioxide. As consensus continues to build around the contributions of carbon in global client change, jurisdictions, both internationally as well as domestically, are working towards limiting formation of carbon dioxide. One way to work toward eff... | |
