This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Fall 2013
Batch reaction tests were conducted on Lea Park shale from Pembina Cardium Field in Alberta to investigate geochemical alterations induced by exposing brine/CO2 mixtures at designed pressure and temperature. Dissolution of illite and growth of cluster-coating structures were observed on rock...

Effects of Microemulsion and Shut-in Time on Well Performance: A comparative Field, Laboratory and Simulation Study
DownloadFall 2020
Montney Formation is well-known as a world-class unconventional resource, covering approximately 130,000 km2 located on the border between the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. In last decade, horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies have been the key to unlock the...

Evaluating Wettability and Imbibition Oil Recovery of the Core Plugs and Crushed Rock Samples from the Duvernay Formation
DownloadSpring 2018
Unconventional sources have become the leading sources of hydrocarbons in North America. These unconventional resources with low porosity and ultra-low permeability can produce hydrocarbon at profitable rates from a hydraulically fractured horizontal well. However, rock-fluid properties need to...

Geomechanical Controls on Multiphase Fluid Flow in Naturally Fractured Carbonate Reservoirs
DownloadSpring 2020
Carbonate formations host 50% of the world’s oil and gas reserves and a major portion of the world’s groundwater resources. Additionally, 85% of carbonate reservoirs are naturally fractured. Porous rock matrix and fractures in carbonate formations can be greatly influenced by the effective...
