Oil shale grade distributions in the Eocene Green River Formation, Piceance,Uinta and Greater Green River Basins

摘要

1. Establish estimates for potential oil shale resource recovery based on resource richness and existing technology 2. Develop and apply environmental impact metrics related to oil shale development for western U.S. deposits. The "oil-in-place" estimates from the latest USGS Western Oil Shale Assessment provide an excellent resource on Green River Formation oil shale deposits. Using Fischer Assay data from hundreds of thousands of analyses, total in-place resources have been estimated. We are currently working to develop new products in order to make more use of this data.
