177 3-D structure of a local minimum of the Siskin model of oil shale kerogen using the RHF/STO-3G method2008Siskin model; oil shale kerogen; RHF/STO-3G method; kerogen; 3-D structure of kerogen; oil shaleKerogen is a mixture of organic chemical compounds that make up a portion of the organic matter in sedimentary rocks. It is insoluble in normal organic solvents because of the huge molecular weight (upwards several thousand Daltons). When heated in the Earth's crust, (oil window ca. 6 ∞-120∞C; g...
178 Water for commercial oil shale development in Utah: Allocating scarce resources and the search for new sources of supply2010commercial oil shale development; allocating resources; oil shale; bitumenBACKGROUND A. What Is Oil Shale and Why Do We Care? Oil shale is a sedimentary rock containing solid bituminous materials. When oil shale is heated, petroleum-like liquids and gasses are released. The process of heating shale and capturing resulting liquids and gasses is called retorting and can occ...
179 Treatment of produced water by pressure-assisted ozonation and sand filtration2009produced water; pressure assisted ozonization; sand filtration; energy production; heavy petroleum sources; oil sandsEver increasing energy demand worldwide necessitates energy production from heavy petroleum sources such as oil sands and oil shale. Extraction of bitumen from oil sands and in situ extraction of kerogen from oil shale result in large quantities of water containing hydrocarbon contaminants. The cont...
180 Heightened oil sands extraction by pressure cycles2009oil sands extraction; pressure cycles; hot water extraction of bitumenHot water extraction of bitumen from oil sands has been commercially applied for decades. The extraction process is greatly aided by the addition of caustics and other reagents, which can adversely impact handling and disposal at process end.

190 University of Utah Staff Advisory Committee (UUSAC) presidential staff awards, 19961996University of Utah awards; Staff guidelines; University of Utah employees; Presidential awardsThis is the "bible" for the Presidential Staff Awards. Everything you need to know about the process is contained in this binder. Annually the chair of the nominating and selection committees should each file a report, noting problems, recommendations, ideas. Then, this binder should be passed to ne...
191 The role of gas bubbles in bitumen recovery from tar sands in hot-water processing1994-05gas bubbles in bitumen recovery; bitumen recovery; hot water processComplete bitumen disengagement and displacement from tar sand during digestion is a determining but not sufficient condition for satisfactory bitumen recovery in the hot water process. The density of most bitumens is close to that of the aqueous phase, and fine, mineral particles reside in the bitum...
192 Supercritical fluid extraction of oil sand bitumen1994-05supercritical fluid extraction; oil sand bitumen; PR Spring oil sand depositThe supercritical fluid extraction of bitumen from the PR Spring oil sand deposit (Utah) was studied using commercial propane as the solvent .
