211 United States tar sands1982U.S. tar sands; tar sands; Interstate Oil Compact CommissionThe term 'Tar Sands' is a catch-all misnomer that includes asphaltic and oil-impregnated sandstones, siltstones, and other elastics and even limestones and other carbonates - but not "oil shales" or man-made paving material. A press agent might entitle this paper "OIL, the Overlooked Billions of Bar...

S. Energy Research and Development Administration, is equipping a field experiment to test the reverse combustion process for recovery of oil from a tar sand on a 10-acre site on the Northwest Asphalt Ridge deposit near Vernal, Utah. A tar sand section 1...
213 U.S. tar sand oil recovery projects1982tar sands; U.S. tar sand oil recovery; oil recovery; U.S. energy demands; crude oil reserves; U.S. tar sands resourceThe increasing U.S. energy demands, decreasing conventional crude oil reserves, and decontrol of crude oil prices have resulted in significant numbers of projects in U.S. tar sands. Data are reported for 62 projects involving both in situ and mining and plant extraction technologies. The data includ...
214 U.S. tar sand oil recovery projects (1982)1982-02U.S. tar sand; oil recovery; energy demand; conventional petroleum decrease; less conventional energy sources; tar sand resourceAs the demand for energy in the United States increases and the reserves of conventional petroleum decrease, the interest in development of less conventional energy sources is increasing dramatically.
