Results are presented from research and development carried out by the Bureau of Mines on the gas-combustion oil-shale retorting process. Effects of the process variables,...

Cost projections for the production of oil shale encompass much more than evaluation of the retorting process to be employed. The analysis must consider all production aspects,...

The objectives of the project were to demonstrate drilling, fracturing, and recovery techniques of methane from unminable coal in Rio Blanco County, Colorado. Task I was to...

This report describes the procedure used by the US Bureau of Mines to degrade Colorado oil shale kerogen into hydrogenolysis products, the yields of the soluble fractions...

This project will provide a full demonstration of an entirely new package of exploration technologies that will result in the discovery and development of significant new gas...

This report presents a study on water quality and toxicology of the Piceance basin. This is based upon a field reconnaissance of the area and a review of literature and...

Major activity was directed toward maintenance and modification of the PDU in preparation for the 1982 test program. Numerous items of equipment were inspected, disassembled,...

"As part of an overall accelerated research concept for in situ extraction of oil shale, a general document entitled ""A Proposed Development Plan for a Horizontal Modified In...

In September of this year development plans for the commercial production of oil shale by in situ retorting were approved by the U.S. Department of Interior. The anticipated...

This report describes the results made in fulfillment of contract DE-FG26-02NT15451, ''Multicomponent Seismic Analysis and Calibration to Improve Recovery from Algal Mounds:...

This paper describes the methods and equipment developed at the Bureau’s Experimental Oil-Shale mine near Rifle, Colo. for placing men in position to scale loone rock from the...

Estimated use of water for Minnesota at the county level.

The purpose of this report is to describe the field tracer test and pumping test performed in July, 1983, at the Hanna, Wyoming, and coal gasification research area and to...

West Virginia Marcellus Thickness Lines

The analyses of Hot Gas Stream Cleanup (HGCU) ashes and descriptions of filter performance studied under this contract are designed to address problems with filter operation...

The lens distributional analysis code (LENDA) estimates the sand volume directly accessed and the gas drainage patterns of wells drilled in lenticular sand reservoirs. The gas...

In this article, we discuss technical aspects of oil shale mining and describe a few of the many processes available for extracting hydrocarbon fuels by thermal treatment of oil...

The synthetic fuel industry is perhaps the only industry ever to be subjected to a nationwide review of potential environmental consequences before the first commercial scale...

Increasing environmental awareness and regulations have placed new requirements on process design for advanced power systems, and increased the need for sophisticated simulation...

This report covers research activities for the second half of the second project year (October 6, 2001, through April 5, 2002). This work includes description and analysis of...
