The Alaska Business Community's View Of The Development Of Alaska, William H. Scott
The Alaska Business Community's View Of The Development Of Alaska, William H. Scott
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
America has discovered Alaska!! Or maybe that’s just the way it seems to us Alaskans. Even though Secretary of State Seward bought the Great Land (that’s what Alaska means in native tongue) more than a hundred years ago, very little of its nature has drifted down to the “Lower 48”. That is until the great oil reserves were discovered on the now-famous North Slope. Only then was the fact of Alaska’s mineral wealth translated into something other than very general admissions that Alaska was the natural resource storehouse of the United States. Now one would naturally conclude that the Prudhoe …
The U.S. Army's Experience In Handling Petroleum In An Arctic Environment, Frederic Johnson
The U.S. Army's Experience In Handling Petroleum In An Arctic Environment, Frederic Johnson
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
This article pinpoints the various facets that the US Military experienced in Petroleum Operations in the Arctic environment Since the Military were the pioneers in Arctic operations, this experience could prove invaluable if and when the TAPS pipeline is constructed. The article deals primarily with various problems which beset the pipeliners during the initial construction phases and the peculiarities experienced during operations. A slightly different aspect will be experienced, however, when the Oil Industry moves relatively hot crude oil through the pipelines with TAPS since the Military moved only clean product.
The article addresses above ground pipeline operations, problems encountered …
The Future Of Anchorage, Claire O. Banks
The Future Of Anchorage, Claire O. Banks
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
So, in conclusion ... our Air Crossroads of the World contemplates its future, from a similar position as that of the ancient Greeks, or later the city of Rome... and much later ... England — the trade center of its time, between East and West — North and South. In any event, we are in the enviable position of being able to determine our future. Aside from the tremendous growth and build-up factors, we are unique because of our urbanity ... nowhere else are the advantages of modern day living offered to the extent they exist here, while at the …
State Regulatory Controls On Oil & Gas, Thomas R. Marshall Jr.
State Regulatory Controls On Oil & Gas, Thomas R. Marshall Jr.
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
Alaska oil and gas regulatory matters are under the jurisdiction of a three-man Oil and Gas Conservation Committee, all of which are state employees.
In the last 10 years State water bottoms in Cook Inlet have been leased, explored and oil production amounting to about 200,000 barrels a day has been established. Cook Inlet is subject to very high tides and heavy ice flows. Five Salmon runs also occur in the Cook Inlet. The average daily production rate per well in the Cook Inlet area is nearly one hundred times the national average.
The Prudhoe Bay oil field discovered in …
Geologic Considerations And Solid Mineral Potential Of Alaska, A. E. Weissenborn
Geologic Considerations And Solid Mineral Potential Of Alaska, A. E. Weissenborn
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
In marked contrast to Alaska’s petroleum industry, production from the State’s mining industry has declined drastically. Despite favorable geologic conditions, mineral exploration and development have been held back by inaccessibility, rugged terrain, severe climate, and scarcity and high cost of labor. Changing economic and political conditions, improved exploration techniques, and the ever increasing demand for minerals have again directed attention to Alaska’s mineral potential. Important discoveries in British Columbia and Yukon Territory have further stimulated exploration in Alaska. The probability that significant discoveries will result is high.
The titaniferous iron ores of southeastern Alaska probably will be brought into production …
Alaska's Possible Petroleum Provinces, George Gryc
Alaska's Possible Petroleum Provinces, George Gryc
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
Petroleum is the major Alaskan source of energy immediately available to the United States. Petroleum accounted for 89 percent or about $219 million of Alaska’s total mineral production in 1969 estimated at nearly $245 million.
Alaska’s first oil field was discovered at Katalla in 1902. About 154,000 barrels of oil were produced from 1902 to 1933. From 1945 through 1952, 45 shallow core tests and 36 test wells were drilled in and adjacent to Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 in northern Alaska. Oil deposits with possible reserves of 72 to 112 million barrels and gas deposits with possible reserves of …

Preface, Paul Dean Proctor, Robert E. Carlile
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
Because this university, formerly under the well known title of Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy, has contributed so much to the nation’s and world’s mineral supplies through the work of its well trained graduates, it was considered appropriate that a major symposium be held during its Centennial Year on one of the last major mineral frontiers of the United States......Alaska.
Preliminary planning for the symposium on “Alaska, Its Mineral Potentials and Environmental Challenges” began in the fall of 1969. In January, 1970, Robert E. Carlile and Paul Dean Proctor visited Alaska to meet with some of the petroleum and …
The 1966 Eruption Of Izalco Volcano, El Salvador, William I. Rose, Richard E. Stoiber
The 1966 Eruption Of Izalco Volcano, El Salvador, William I. Rose, Richard E. Stoiber
Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences Publications
During October–November 1966 900,000 m3 of olivine basalt flowed from the flank of Izalco volcano, El Salvador. The total heat energy was approximately 1015 calories. No measurable changes in gravity occurred at stations on the active cone between August 1964 and August 1967. In the summit crater fumaroles have surface temperatures as high as 540°C. The cooling rate of these fumaroles was 18°C/yr before the eruption and 45°C/yr after. Yearly temperature cycles due to wet and dry seasons are superimposed on the general cooling trend. The rate of gas emission at four fumaroles in November 1967 was 86 …
A Study Of The Effect Of Jointing On The Blasting Of Granite, Graniteville, Missouri, Avery Ala Drake
A Study Of The Effect Of Jointing On The Blasting Of Granite, Graniteville, Missouri, Avery Ala Drake
Masters Theses
"Purpose of investigation: The purpose of this investigation is to attempt to determine the influence that joints exert upon the blasting of granite and if joints are induced by blasting. The problem grew out of an explosive evaluation project that was conducted by the Mining Department, Missouri School of Mines. In late May 1950, the project was moved into the granite area near Graniteville, Missouri. It became apparent upon study of this area that the jointing would have certain effects upon the results obtained. Dr. J. D. Forrester, Chairman, Department of Mining Engineering, Missouri School of Mines, Rolla, Missouri, suggested …
