This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utah’s coal industry remained steady in 2008 with production totaling 24.3 million short tons for the second straight year. Production losses resulting from the closure of UtahAmerican’s deep Aberdeen mine and difficult mining conditions at the company’s West Ridge operation were made up for by increased production at Canyon Fuel’s Dugout Canyon, Skyline, and SUFCO mines. With the economy running strong for much of the year, employment averages increased 4.5%, mostly on the anticipation of full-scale longwall mining at Hiawatha Company’s Bear Canyon mine. The strong economy also helped the average price for a ton of Utah coal reach a 25-year high of $27.78. Distribution of Utah coal remained nearly steady in 2008 at 24.8 million tons, while outof- state coal imports increased by 68%, with most coal going to the Bonanza power plant in eastern Utah.

Download or read book Annual Review and Forecast of Utah Coal Production and Distribution 2006 written by Michael D. Vanden Berg and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utah coal production in 2006 increased for the second straight year to 26.1 million short tons, 6.4% higher than 2005’s production total and 20% higher than the 10-year low experienced in 2004. This year’s increase was the result of renewed longwall mining at the Skyline mine and significant production increases at Aberdeen,West Ridge, and SUFCO. In addition, Utah achieved record production in the Book Cliffs coal field, record production in Carbon County, and record production on State lands. In fact, in 2007, coal production on State lands is expected to out-pace federal coal production for the first time in history. Despite this recent surge in production, many coal mine operators are experiencing increasingly difficult mining conditions, resulting in a higher ash product.

Download or read book Annual Review and Forecast of Utah Coal Production and Distribution 2007 written by Michael D. Vanden Berg and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utah’s coal industry experienced a difficult and tragic year in 2007. The terrible circumstances surrounding the unexpected closure of the Crandall Canyon mine, followed by the idling of the Aberdeen mine, resulted in a 7.1% decrease in Utah coal production to a total of 24.3 million short tons. These closures also resulted in a 5.3% loss in mine-related employment. In addition, difficult mining conditions at Canyon Fuel Company’s SUFCO and Dugout Canyon mines contributed to production declines. On the brighter side, Canyon Fuel’s Skyline mine, with a full-year of longwall operation, increased its production by 45.4% and UtahAmerican’s West Ridge mine increased its production by 34.3%. Also noteworthy are record production for both Carbon County and State lands, and a 20-year high in the average price for a short ton of Utah coal: $25.18. Distribution of Utah coal decreased slightly in 2007 to 24.5 million short tons, while out-of-state coal imports hit a 20-year low of only 1.5 million tons.
