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.

Applications of Ensemble Kalman Filter for characterization and history matching of SAGD reservoirs
DownloadFall 2011
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is the most robust thermal recovery process that has unlocked western Canadian heavy oil and bitumen reserves into economical recovery. The prime challenges in SAGD heavy oil developments and well planning in the Northern Alberta formations are:...

Spring 2012
While numerical modeling and coupling techniques have been continuously studied, analytical solution or proxy modeling for geomechanical coupling of the steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) has not been clearly addressed in the literature. Simulations aside, there is no particular study on the...

Use of Temperature data for assisted history matching and characterization of SAGD heterogeneous reservoirs within EnKF framework
DownloadFall 2012
The Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), a parameter estimation approach using the real-time DTS temperature observations is proposed for automatic history matching and quantitative reservoir characterization of SAGD reservoirs. EnKF algorithm is coupled with the discrete cosine transform (DCT) for...
