This thesis explores the effect of fluid substitution, pore-pressure diffusion and stresses due to hydraulic fracturing on the elastic velocities and microcrack orientations in the surrounding rock. I develop a workflow incorporating three main components to model the velocity field around the...

Sedimentary rocks are an important research topic since such rocks are associated to sources of ground water as well as oil, gas, and mineral reservoirs. In this work, elastic and physical properties of a variety of sedimentary samples that include glacial sediments, carbonates, shales, one...

Magnetotelluric Imaging of Electrically Anisotropic Crust Near Fort McMurray, Alberta: Implications for Engineered Geothermal Systems
DownloadFall 2014
The goal of this thesis is to investigate the character of the basement rocks beneath the oilsands region around Fort McMurray in the context of developing engineered geothermal systems (EGS). Magnetotelluric (MT) data were collected at 94 stations on two profiles near to Fort McMurray and...

The earth’s crust and mantle is known to be anisotropic to the propagation of seismic waves. Despite this knowledge, the analysis and processing of seismic data still primarily assumes isotropy, an assumption that, in the context of active source seismic imaging, is an oversimplification that can...
