A comparison of Uinta Basin, Utah crude oil and biodegraded products
1989
Biodegradation of crude oil is described. Samples of oil shale were collected from Hell's Hole Canyon in Utah, The C-b Tract Mine in Colorado, and the Southman Canyon area in Utah. Tar sands were collected from Asphalt Ridge in Utah. Gilsonite was collected from the Bonanza area of Utah. Petroleum samples were collected from the Red Wash Oil Field and the Altamont-Bluebell Oil Field in Utah. Solid samples were placed in plastic bags and water samples in sterile plastic tubes. The samples were transported to the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory Research Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho for microbiological studies. Samples designated for pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometry studies were sent to the Center for Micro-Analysis and Reaction Chemistry, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah. 4 refs., 5 figs., 2 tabs.
