"The 5th Annual In-Situ Energy Recovery Technology short course was presented on August 7-8, 1980 at the AMFAC Hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This year we had over 100...

This paper describes a one-dimensional numerical model which simulates oil recovery from tar sands by reverse combustion. The method of lines is used to solve the nonlinear...

Two methods are used on the Eastern Gas Shales Project to measure the gas volume of encapsulated shale samples. The direct method measures pressure and volume and is initiated...

The Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC) conducted a number of feasibility studies on the combustion and retorting of five oil shales: Celina (Tennessee), Colorado,...

Control of sulfur emissions is a key environmental concern in the retorting of oil shale. Oil shale may contain 2% or more sulfur, while a typical shale in the Green River...

The ENPEX project comprises the production and upgrading of heavy crude San Miguel tar in an integrated facility designed to produce a syncrude or clean fuel products. The...

Project Final Report-07122-44-The goal of this project is to increase gas recovery from tight gas formations in the Uinta Basin, Utah by analyzing and modeling natural fracture...

Coal is a combustible, rocklike substance formed from plant remains that have undergone physical and chemical changes through geological processes. In early geological times a...

Vertical modified in-situ processes for oil-shale development require an accessible, thick and continuous oil-shale section. In Colorado's Piceance Creek Basin the Mahogany zone...

It is well documented that Louisiana has the highest rate of wetland loss in the United States. Deep-water channel dredging and leveling of the Mississippi River since the 1930s...

Viscoelastic measurements of bitumens made on a mechanical spectrometer assisted with bitumen-again characteristics, adsorption of bitumen components on mineral surfaces, and...

Section8 of Taggart coal bed

Triaxial compression tests and ultrasonic velocity measurements were made on two oil shale rocks of differing kerogen content (20 gal/ton and 40 gal/ton). Triaxial compression...

A theoretical model for an in situ oil shale retort with three distinct zones surrounded by the wall of oil shale deposits, the overburden and underburden, is considered to...

Several underground coal gasification experiments have been conducted in the Hanna No 1 coal seam. During the fall of 1980 the Laramie Energy Technology Center performed a post-...

The objective of this project was to assess the risks and close the technology gaps of subsea DC connectors, a critical component to ensure the safe and reliable operation of...

X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and thermal methods of analysis were used to resolve conflicting statements in the literature on the thermal decomposition of dawsonite...

Project Final Report-DE-FE0005917-The goal of this project is to develop a new carbon dioxide injection enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) process using engineered nanoparticles...

The goals of this project were to: -Complete the development of the University of Utah discrete-fracture model so that an alternative production-level fractured reservoir model...

A compilation of material property data on Green River (Piceance Basin) oil shale is presented. While this report is not intended to be a comprehensive review of the literature,...
