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 2022
Time-lapse seismic reservoir monitoring has advanced quickly over the past decade to become a common technique for monitoring subsurface processes, especially for steam and CO2 injection. It has been widely used to determine and monitor changes occurring in a reservoir during hydrocarbon...

Experimental investigation of the effect of elasticity on the sweep efficiency in viscoelastic polymer flooding operations
DownloadFall 2010
This study aims to investigate the effect of elastic properties of viscoelastic polymer solutions on the microscopic sweep efficiency in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. The effect of elasticity was studied as isolated from the shear viscosity effect using polymer blends with identical...

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF FLUID ELASTIC PROPERTIES, SAND PARTICLE SIZE AND SURFACE PROPERTIES ON THE BED EROSION DYNAMICS OF THE SAND BED DEPOSITED IN HORIZONTAL PIPELINE
DownloadSpring 2019
A large-scale 9 m long horizontal flow loop equipped with a non-intrusive laser-based particle image velocimetry (PIV) system was used to carry out bed erosion experiments with water and viscoelastic fluids. Also, pipe flow experiments with viscoelastic fluids were carried out in this horizontal...

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE SETTLING VELOCITY OF SPHERICAL PARTICLES IN VISCOELASTIC FLUIDS
DownloadFall 2017
Knowledge of settling behavior of particles in various types of fluids is indispensable to design and optimize numerous industrial operations such as cuttings transport in oil and gas well drilling, proppant transport in hydraulic fracturing operations, and so on. Most of the models developed so...

Fall 2019
Precast concrete insulated wall panels (IWP) are thermally and structurally efficient systems commonly used in construction. Although their flexural performance has been studied extensively, there are limited studies on thermal bowing in IWP. Bowing causes unwanted deflections, stresses on the...

Fall 2024
When a well reaches the end of its life cycle, it needs to be abandoned. Leakage issues are being reported in legacy wells and the literature blames cement shrinkage as the main culprit for these leakage issue. Instead of blaming the cement, the isolation capabilities of the entire system need to...

Experimental Investigation on Interfacial and Surface Phenomena of Clathrate and Semi-clathrate Hydrates
DownloadFall 2023
Clathrate hydrates are compounds where guest molecules are trapped in cages formed between water molecules via hydrogen bonding. They have many promising applications, such as gas storage, energy storage, gas mixture separation and seawater desalination. They may also form inside the oil & gas...

Fall 2017
Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD), today is the most promising technique to extract heavy oil from oil sands reservoirs. Maintenance of integrity of the near-well area is crucial to help ensure that the reserves are produced properly without environmental or production optimization...

Spring 2024
Clathrate hydrate is a multi-component system in which the “guest” gas molecules are accommodated by the “host” water. It has many potential applications in CO2 capture and sequestration, gas separation and others. We wish to promote the formation of clathrate hydrate in these applications since...
