APPENDIX C. DATA FROM CONTINUOUS TRANSECTS

The system of nomenclature used in identifying the parts  of the alternative corridors investigated is graphically  explained on Map 2. Although the term "Corridor" is used for systematic purposes it must be noted that in Corridor D there are great numbers of corridors included. The net-like character of the alternatives in the northern regions made it more practical to break the net into Segments and, where convenient, to break the Segments into Sections. The location of Corridors and segments is graphically indicated on Map 2. The data in the Appendix are arranged alphabetically by Corridor letter and  numerically by Segment within each Corridor. Where the Segment has been subdivided into sections , these are arranged alphabetically. These divisions of corridors may be combined in various sequences as necessary to complete a desired corridor across an area.

SIMULTANEOUS FLUID-SOLID REACTIONS IN POROUS SOLIDS; PART 2. REACTIONS BETWEEN ONE FLUID AND TWO SOLID REACTANTS

"A general model describing simultaneous independent reactions between one fluid reactant and two solid reactants is presented. Such reaction systems  are attracting much attention in the areas of oil shale retorting, reduction of mixed metal oxides with a reducing gas, leaching of mixed minerals, and roasting of mixed sulfides. The model has been formulated in general terms so as to allow the incorporation of specific details of an actual system. The law of additive reaction times previously developed for single fluid-solid reactions and found useful for the analysis of the reaction between one solid and two fluid reactants has been applied to the reaction system under consideration. It has yielded a useful approximate solution, which obviates the necessity for repeated numerical solution of a second-order differential equation with split boundary conditions and removes the possibility of encountering the numerical  stiffness problem."

PETROLEUM IN THE WILLISTON BASIN

"Geologically, the Williston Basin is a large structural depression of sedimentary rock located in the State of Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota, and the Canadian Province of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The approximate limits of the Basin are shown on figure 1;  it is roughly circular with a diameter of about four hundred miles, and contains approximately 120,000 square miles. Although the possible petroleum  potentialities in this area had long been recognized, it had not been vigorously prospected by the petroleum industry because of its geographic location, rigorous winters , depths to possibly productive horizons, difficult geological problems, and because more seemingly favorable areas, were available for prospecting. With the discovery of oil near Edmonton , Alberta, in the prolific Devonian reefs, an incentive was given to explore for oil in the southeast extension of the same sedimentary trough, the Williston Basin. The Virden field discovery in January, 1951, in southwestern Manitoba was a direct result of this southeastward movement. The discovery of this shallow field was followed soon after by the discovery of deep production on the Nesson Anticline in North Dakota at Clarence Iverson Number 1 well. North Dakota then  became the 27th petroleum producing State."

"GROUND VIBRATIONS  INVESTIGATION Rock Fragmentation Research and Development Project"

The Phase I Rock Fragmentation R&D Project results were  summarized in nine separate reports. These reports were  prepared, as requested by the Sponsors, as "stand alone"  reports with enough detail so that the unfamiliar reader  would be able to follow the logic, activities, and results of  the project. Consequently, there is redundancy among reports and within each report. Although each report contains sufficient project information, a suggested order of reading that provides the reader the most logical approach to understanding the project activities  • Mining Summary  • Modeling Summary  • A-Series Tests Summary  • B-Series Tests Summary  • C-Series Tests Summary  • D-Series Tests Summary  • Final Summary  • Special Tests Summary  • Ground Vibrations Summary  The Final Report, however, was designed to provide the casual reader with a complete summary of the project without the necessity to review the detailed test reports.  Each report was prepared using the available data. In some cases, the data recorded by the Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories were not completely analyzed at the time these reports were published. The reporting of these data as well as their analyses will be the responsibility of the respective laboratories after the one year'delay agreement for publishing proprietary results.

Retort Run 5-18

"Retort Run S-18 was a combustion run using a 50% air, 50% steam mixture. The experiment was conducted on June 13 and 14, 1979. The major objectives for Run S-18 were: 1) to get a first handle on the repeatability of our small retort system. This run was very similar to S-14,  the difference being that S-18 was more randomly packed, and 2) to observe the effect of bed structure on flow nonuniformity and retort performance."

ANALYSIS OF VARIABLES IN HEAT, MASS AND MOMENTUM TRANSFER AS WELL AS KINETIC RELATIONSHIP YIELDS

Analysis of variables in heat, mass, and momentum transfer as well as kinetic relationships yields dimensionless groups which  may be used as primary tools to solve design and development problems. Unfortunately, a standard naming system was never developed, and the result is that with the number of groups increasing rapidly, several have more than one name, and several names apply to more than one group. This paper gives the groups and names in the groups.

INVESTIGATION INTO THE USE OF COAL-DERIVED TAR FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR

"The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Fossil Energy, at the Morgantown Energy Technology Center assigned EG&G Morgantown Operations the task to investigate  the potential use of tar produced during mild gasification as a road construction material. The investigation has drawn upon the published literature to determine the application, specifications, and experiences of road construction with tar produced from coal. The references for the published literature were dated since road building with coal tar has been replaced by less expensive asphalt. Abundant and less expensive asphalt, the residual material from oil  refining, has replaced coal tar products in the road building, industry and, as a consequence, current publications covering the usage of coal tar for road  construction are unavailable. Finally, a telephone survey was conducted with various coal tar processers and roof coating manufacturers to determine present-day practice, usage, and economics."

THE SOLUBILITY OF BARIUM ARSENATE

"Current thermodynamic data suggest Ba3(AsO 4 )2(C) to be a highly  stable phase. However, sufficient evidence is available to question  the validity of the current data. In order to determine the  solubility (pK ) and standard free energy of formation (AGO f ) of  Ba3(AsO4) 2(c), an equilibrium solubility study was conducted. The  equilibrium experiments were carried out under three different ionic  strength conditions for reaction times up to 45 d.  Equilibrium was  approached from both under saturation and supersaturation initial conditions. The PKsp for the dissolution of Ba3(AsO4)2(C) was  determined to be 21.62. Correspondingly, a AGO f of -3101.2  - 2.0   kJ.mol-1 was calculated. This value is 166.9 kJ.mol more positive  than the current literature value. Reevaluation of the solubility  data from a previous work suggest the pK sp for the dissolution of  BaHAsO4)II2O(c) to be 24.64 and the corresponding AGo f to be -1587.0 * 17 2.5 kJ.mol -1. An activity diagram analysis of BaHAsO4  and   BaHAsO 4. H2 0(C) stabilities indicates the latter to be more stable  throughout a wide range of Ba 2 (aq) and AsO4 3-(aq) activities and pii values."

ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF BOREHOLE AND CONVENTIONAL MINING SYSTEMS IN PHOSPHATE DEPOSITS

"The Bureau of Mines compared the feasibility of mining deep phosphate deposits by a borehole mining system with mining by proven conventional technique. An economic comparison of the borehole mining system with  conventional dragline and bucket wheel excavator mining systems was completed at various mining depths and production rates. Hypothetical phosphate deposits, with various overburden thicknesses and reserve tonnages,  were defined. Geologic conditions necessary for the application of the borehole system were identified. Discounted cash flow analyses based on derived capital and operating costs were used to generate rates  of return and product prices. Borehole mining was found to be more economical where overburden thickness was 150 ft or greater; however, at 50- and 100-ft thicknesses,  conventional surface mining was more economical. Overburden thickness has a great effect on the economic feasibility of the conventional mining systems but less effect on the economics of borehole mining. Economies  of scale are only realized in conventional mining, since larger equipment is employed to achieve greater production, whereas increased production from borehole mining is achieved using additional equipment units.  A comparison of the environmental effects of borehole and conventional surface mining systems showed that borehole mining is environmentally more desirable."

A ONE-DIMENSIONAL COMPUTER MODEL FOR SIMULATING OIL RECOVERY BY STEAMFLOODING

"Steam flooding is one of the most important thermal recovery processes. The present investigation is concerned with the computer simulation of one-dimensional steam flooding in petroleum reservoirs.  A mathematical description of the process is presented in detail. The differential equations are discredited and the IMPES method is used to obtain the solution. One of the significant contributions of this work is a detailed description of the proper well conditions for controlling injection and production in the model. The influence of mild thermal cracking is accounted for in this model. It is observed that significant upgrading may take place depending on the pressure of the injected steam and the nature of oil place. Higher oil recoveries are predicted when the effect of thermal cracking is included in the model. The investigation of the effect of temperature dependent relative permeability on oil recovery is also investigated. The ultimate oil recovery is found to be very sensitive to the relative permeability at elevated temperatures. However, the magnitude and direction of  this effect are not clear with the present state of  knowledge of the effect of temperature on relative permeability's. A modified normalization for handling temperature dependent relative permeability in a computer model is introduced and discussed."

RF HEATING OF CARBONACEOUS DEPOSITS VOLUME V. APPENDIXES A THROUGH D Final Report 1 July 1979 to 31 March 1982

The dielectric parameters of Western Oil /shale from three sites were measured to assist in the design of an in situ RF dielectric heating oil recovery process.  The dielectric parameter measurements were made under simulated in situ conditions; and these showed that, while the parameters vary with site and grade, the dielectric absorption deceased rapidly as the temperature rises above 200 C and drops to a more or less constant plateau up ;to about 450 C.  The dielectric breakdown occurred at 420 C for RF heating rates of approximately 63 W/Kg or greater.  The pronounced drop in dielectric absorption was correlated with the decomposition of an oil shale component and the evolution of bound water.  Above 200 C the dielectric absorption is cause by the mineral constituents, since the dielectric parameters did not vary with production of oil and gas.
