Radiological survey of the inactive uranium-mill tailings at the Spook site, Converse County, Wyoming

Description: Results of a radiological survey performed at the Spook site in Converse County, Wyoming, in June 1976, are presented. The mill at this site was located a short distance from the open-pit mine where the ore was obtained and where part of the tailings was dumped into the mine. Several piles of overburden or low-grade ore in the vicinity were included in the measurements of above-ground gamma exposure rate. The average exposure rate over these piles varied from 14 ..mu..R/hr, the average backgrou… more

Uranium Deposits in Oolitic Limestone Near Mayoworth, Johnson County, Wyoming

Description: From abstract: The uranium deposits of the Mayoworth area, Johnson County. Wyo., are in oolitic limestone at the base of the Sundance formation of Late Jurassic age. The uranium mineral has been identified as metatyuyamunite, a hydrous calcium uranium vanadate, that coats joints and fractures and replaces calcite in both the cement and the oolites. The known deposits of the area are of sub-ore grade, have a high lime content, and are not of economic importance at this time.

Improved Computational Schemes for the Numerical Modeling of Hydrothermal Resources in Wyoming

Description: A new method, the Conjugate Gradient Squared (CGS) solution technique, is shown to be extremely effective when applied to the finite-difference solution of conductive and convective heat transfer in geologic systems. The CGS method is compared to the Successive Over/Under Relaxation schemes, a version of the Gaussian elimination method, and the Generalized Minimum Residual (GMRES) approach. The CGS procedure converges at least ten times faster than the nearest competitor. The model is applied t… more

Underground gasification for steeply dipping coal beds. Phase I report: Appendix A. Site selection, 30 September 1977--28 February 1978

Description: Gulf Research and Development Company and TRW, Inc., have investigated the U.S. coal resources to identify a site for the first UCG-SDB test program. Based on the investigation to date, the best site for that first test is the North Knobs site near Rawlins, Wyoming. The criteria used to select a site are as follows: The coal seam shall have a dip angle between 45/sup 0/ and 75/sup 0/, the coal gasification shall be below the water table, the coal shall be subbituminous (shrinking upon heating),… more

Underground gasification for steeply dipping coal beds. Phase I report: feasibility study and program plan, September 30, 1977--February 28, 1978

Description: The first phase of the DOE project for gasification of steeply dipping coal beds consisted of site selection activities, a concept feasibility study and program planning. A test site was selected at North Knobs near Rawlins, Wyoming. This site has the best potential for a successful first UCG-SDB test. Analysis of the concept suggests air emission and aquifer degradation as possible areas of environmental impact. A monitoring plan has been established to determine the environmental effect of th… more

Underground gasification for steeply dipping coal beds. Phase I report: Appendix B. Environmental analysis, September 30, 1977--February 28, 1978

Description: This environmental analysis is part of a study of the process concept and conceptual design to be used in underground gasification of steeply dipping coal beds. The study is being conducted as predecessor to a field test program at the North Knobs site near Rawlins, Wyoming. The environmental analysis provides a detailed evaluation of the impacts on the project site environment of implementation of the concept design, and it has pointed out areas where the Phase II project effort must incorpora… more

Techniques for mapping the types, volumes, and distribution of clays in petroleum reservoirs and for determining their effects on oil production

Description: This report presents the results of correlation of log signatures with information on distribution of the types and volumes of clays in sandstone pore spaces determined from detailed CT-scan, XRD, SEM, and thin section analyses of core samples from three sandstone reservoirs. The log signatures are then analyzed to determine if suitable mathematical/statistical parameter(s) could be calculated from the logs to determine their effects on permeability and oil production. The variability measures … more

Jobs and Economic Development from New Transmission and Generation in Wyoming (Fact Sheet)

Description: Wyoming is a significant energy exporter, producing nearly 40% of the nation's coal and 10% of the nation's natural gas. However, opportunities to add new energy exports in the form of power generation are limited by insufficient transmission capacity. This fact sheet summarizes results from a recent analysis conducted by NREL for the Wyoming Infrastructure Authority (WIA) that estimates jobs and economic development activity that could occur in Wyoming should the market support new investments… more

Informing Conservation Management Using Genetic Approaches: Greater Sage-Grouse and Galápagos Short-Eared Owls as Case Studies

Description: Small isolated populations are of particular conservation interest due to their increased extinction risk. This dissertation investigates two small wild bird populations using genetic approaches to inform their conservation. Specifically, one case study investigated a Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) population located in northwest Wyoming near Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park. Microsatellite data showed that the Jackson sage-grouse population possessed significantly re… more

Geology and Uranium Occurrences in the Miller Hill Area, Carbon County, Wyoming

Description: Abstract: Uranium occurs in the North Park(?) formation of Pliocene(?) age in the Miller Hill area, about 25 miles south of Rawlins, Carbon County, Wyo. As much as 0. 5 percent uranium is contained in grab samples, but only about 1000 tons of rock are known to contain as much as 0. 03 percent uranium. Beds of brecciated, silicified limestone 3 to 10 feet thick contain the principal concentrations of uranium. Lesser concentrations are found in calcareous sandstone and quartzite. Uranophane, Ca(U… more
