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.

Spring 2017
In reservoir simulation studies, history matching is extensively used for uncertainty reduction and reservoir management. History matching using Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) is a promising approach due to its non-iterative nature and ability to assimilate a large number of model parameters....

Integrity Assessment of Dents in Pipelines using Finite Element Analysis and Artificial Neural Networks
DownloadFall 2019
Dents are common occurrences along oil and gas pipelines and can be formed due to pipe contact with external forces such as rocks or construction equipment. There are many factors that contribute to the level of integrity concern of a dent including its shape, size, location on the pipe, and...

Prediction of Horizontal In-situ Stress in Shale Gas Reservoirs Based on Artificial Neural Networks and Conventional Rock Mechanics ——A Case Study on Longmaxi Formation in Southern Sichuan (China)
DownloadFall 2022
Shale gas is one of the most important unconventional fossil fuel resources. It is usually developed by horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques. The in-situ stress magnitude distribution in a given shale gas field is a significant factor that should be considered by horizontal...
