Water Quality. AH commercial oil shale operations require substantial quantities of water. AH product water is treated for use and operations are permitted as zero-discharge facHities. In the Unocal operation, no accidental releases of surface water have occurred during the last four years of sustained operations from 1986 to 1990. The Unocal Parachute Creek Project compliance monitoring program of ground water, surface water, and process water streams have indicated no adverse water quaHty impacts and no violations of the Colorado Department of Health standards (62). [Pg.355]

High initial cost and environmental restrictions prevent use of oil and synthetic muds in many cases where shale problems are expected. It is necessary then to treat a water-base mud to minimize the destabilizing effect of the drilling fluid. Salts, polymers, and other organic materials are added to the mud to reduce the water sensitivity of the shale, shale sweUing, and weakening arising from mud contact, or the rate of water uptake by the shale. [Pg.182]

Sohd materials, such as gilsonite and asphalt, and partially soluble sulfonated asphalt may also be added to plug small fractures in exposed shale surfaces and thereby limit water entry into the formation (105,124). The asphalts are oxidized or treated to impart partial solubiUty. These materials may be softened by the downhole temperature, causing them to deform and squeeze into small openings exposed to the borehole. Laboratory tests designed to evaluate shale-stabilizing muds have confirmed the beneficial action of these materials (125) (see also Soil STABILIZATION). [Pg.182]

Other gas-treating processes involving sulfolane are (/) hydrogen selenide removal from gasification of coal, shale, or tar sands (qv) (108) (2) olefin removal from alkanes (109) (J) nitrogen, helium, and argon removal from natural gas (110) (4) atmospheric CO2 removal in nuclear submarines (5) ammonia and H2S removal from waste streams (6) H2S, HCl, N2O, and CO2 removal from various streams (111—120) and (7) H2S and SO2 removal from... [Pg.69]

Gypsum-treated muds have proved useful for drilling anhydride and gypsum, especially where these formations are interbedded with salt and shale. The treatment consists of conditioning the base mud with plaster (commercial calcium sulfate) before the anhydride or gypsum formation is penetrated. By... [Pg.669]

FIGURE 6.7 Steps in oil shale retorting are shown. Oil shale is erushed and then heated in a retort to drive off the oil that is trapped in the roek. Any oil left behind, as well as partieulates returned to the process as the reeovered oil is processed, is burned to provide heat for the retorting. The oil that is recovered from the shale is chemically treated to produce synthetic crude for further processing in conventional refineries. Courtesy, Amoco Oil Company. [Pg.100]

Selected clay stabilizers are shown in Table 1-10. Thermal-treated carbohydrates are suitable as shale stabilizers [1609-1611]. They may be formed by heating an alkaline solution of the carbohydrate, and the browning reaction product may be reacted with a cationic base. The inversion of nonreducing sugars may be first effected on selected carbohydrates, with the inversion catalyzing the browning reaction. [Pg.20]

Molecular fossils have been successfully identified in younger Precambrian rocks and linked to certain classes of biological source material. In organic analyses of ancient sediments the cleaned, pulverized rocks are treated with organic solvents to extract a soluble fraction containing the less complex and more easily identifiable compounds. However, this fraction is more subject to contamination since it is not locked within the rock matrix. Normal alkanes have been identified in extracts of the 3 billion year old Fig Tree Shale. These alkanes have a probable biological origin in cellular lipids. The odd and even-numbered alkanes are evenly distributed, a characteristic of alkanes from ancient rocks. It is uncertain, however, whether these compounds were present at the time of deposition or derived from a later source [24]. [Pg.393]

Phenol has been detected in the effluent discharges of a variety of industries. It was found in petroleum refinery waste water at concentrations of 33.5 ppm (Pfeffer 1979) and 100 ppb (Paterson et al. 1996), in the treated and untreated effluent from a coal conversion plant at 4 and 4,780 ppm, respectively (Parkhurst et al. 1979), and in shale oil waste water at a maximum of 4.5 ppm (Hawthorne and Sievers 1984). It has also been detected in the effluent from a chemical specialties manufacturing plant at 0.01-0.30 ppm (Jungclaus et al. 1978), in effluent from paper mills at 5-8 ppb (Keith 1976 Paterson et al. 1996), and at 0.3 ppm in a 24-hour composite sample from a plant on the Delaware River, 2 and 4 miles downriver from a sewage treatment plant (Sheldon and Hites 1979). [Pg.176]

No information was available on the costs of using the HRS retorting process to treat hazardous or mixed wastes. Cost estimates for the full-scale application of the HRS process for oil shale retorting may be found in D120672. [Pg.749]

Much of the derived expanded clay, even that which resembles montmorillonite (holds two layers of ethylene glycol), will contract to 10 A when exposed to a potassium solution. Weaver (1958) has shown that these clays can obtain sufficient potassium from sea water and readily contract to 10 A. Vermiculite and mixed-layer biotite-vermiculites are rare in marine sedimentary rocks. Weaver (1958) was unable to find any expandable clays in marine sediments that would contract to 10 A when treated with potassium. A few continental shales contained expanded clays that would contract to 10A when saturated with potassium. Most vermiculites derived from micas and illites have high enough charge so that when deposited in sea water they extract potassium and eventually revert to micas and illites. Some layers may be weathered to such an extent that they do not have sufficient charge to afford contraction and mixed-layer illite-montmorillonites form. [Pg.106]
