Analytical tests were performed on six samples of raw oil shale, two identified as Eastern, two identified as Colorado and the remaining two as Utah. This report covers the...

Three studies related to the toxicity of underground coal gasification (UCG) waters have bee conducted: (1) toxicity study of UCG water and its fractions as determined by the...

Organic vapors generated by retorting a bed of oil shale undergo rapid cooling and condense as a mist and also on rock surfaces. Experiments were carried out simulating the...

An evaluation of the resource potential of the Devonian shales, called the Eastern Gas Shales Project (EGSP) was begun. A study of the stratigraphy, structure, composition, and...

The objectives of the Management/Evaluation Plan are: 1) clarify management structure, task responsibilities and schedules, and 2) to be used as a basis for judging the Project...

Fracture azimuth and in-situ stress data from well control. The maximum horizontal in-situ stress in the wells studied is interpreted as dominantly northeast in the shallow 2000...

Shale oil is a leading contender as a synthetic fuel alternative to petroleum. Since 1815, U. S. oil shale development has gone through four boom-bust cycles that have been...

A ray travel time wavefront represents a mathematical object called a manifold. In particular, paraxial ray theory contains elements that predict the Gaussian curvature of the...

An entrained reactor system (LFER) has been used to study the rapid pyrolysis kinetics for both eastern (New Albany) and western (Colorado) oil shales. Under the condition of...

An Oil and Gas Water Pollution Control Facility is a DEP primary facility type related to the Oil & Gas Program. The following lists the sub-facility types related to Water...

Field test work in Utah during 1980 proved that application of radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic heating will raise Green River Formation oil shale to retorting temperatures....

For the current paper, the charge from the oil shale task force was to critique the Hicks and Probstein paper, emphasizing where we agree and where we disagree with the themes,...

"The United States has a rich base of petroleum resources, but replacing domestic oil reserves will be costly and will require advances in technology. In the mature onshore and...

Department of Energy-funded ?microhole? technology could usher in a revolutionary new approach to the way America's oil and gas wells are drilled. The targeted result: greatly...

Database containing more than 33,466 records on water quality from 1986 to the present from 622 testing sites throughout Pennsylvania. Information in records includes at least...

The objective is to investigate adherent ash deposits and slag initiation as related to utility boilers for selected low-rank coals. Martin Lake and Wildcat lignites (Texas)...

Stratigraphic investigation of the Pass Peak Formation was carried out for a total of seven months in the field during the summers of 1965, 1966, and 1967 in order to provide...

The purpose of the work reported herein was to make a detailed Paleoenvironmental report of the Frontier Formulations in the northwestern part of the Bighorn Basin of...

Extraction of solid waste materials with complexometric agents may offer a quick and effective method for assessing the potential long-term release of hazardous chemical...

The objectives of this research program are (1) to characterize mineral oxide surfaces and to relate these parameters to surfactant adsorption, (2) to study chromatographic...
