A Long-Term Integrated Assessment of Cost, Water Consumption, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of a Transition to a Low-Carbon Bitumen and Hydrogen Production
DownloadFall 2023
The growing demand for energy and the need for mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has led to increased interest from government, industry, and academia in the development of new low-carbon technologies for bitumen extraction and hydrogen production. In situ bitumen is a major...

A model-data comparison of gross primary productivity: Results from the North American Carbon Program site synthesis
Download2012
Anderson, R., Poulter, B., Matamala, R., Lokipitiya, E., Chen, J.M., Verbeeck, H., Davis, K.J., Weng, E., Curtis, P.S., Tonitto, C., Munger, J.W., Ricciuto, D., Chen, J., Gu, L., Humphreys, E., Desai, A.R., Price, D.T., Raczka, B.M., Zhou, X., Peng, C., Torn, M., Hollinger, D.Y., Riley, W.J., Roulet, N., Black, A., Bolstad, P., Baker, I., Thornton, P., Monson, R., Jain, A., Law, B., Gough, C., Margolis, H.A., Dimitrov, D., Grant, R.F., Liu, S., McCaughey, J.H., Hilton, T.W., Sahoo, A., Dietze, M., Schaefer, K., Williams, C., Dragoni, D., Tian, H., Vargas, R., Schwalm, C.R., Richardson, A.D., Oechel, W., Kucharik, C., Barr, A., Altaf Arain, M.
Accurately simulating gross primary productivity (GPP) in terrestrial ecosystem models is critical because errors in simulated GPP propagate through the model to introduce additional errors in simulated biomass and other fluxes. We evaluated simulated, daily average GPP from 26 models against...

A NEW APPROACH TO MODEL FRICTION LOSSES IN THE WATER-ASSISTED PIPELINE TRANSPORTATION OF HEAVY OIL AND BITUMEN
DownloadSpring 2016
Water lubricated pipe flow technology is an economic alternative for the long distance transportation of viscous oils like heavy oil and bitumen. The lubricated flow regime involves an oil-rich core surrounded by a turbulent water annulus. Energy consumption associated with this type of pipeline...

A techno-economic assessment of bitumen and synthetic crude oil transport (SCO) in the Canadian oil sands industry: Oil via rail or pipeline?
Download2017-01-01
Verma, Aman, Nimana, Balwinder S., Olateju, Babatunde, Rahman, Md. Mustafizur, Radpour, Saeidreza, Canter, Christina E., Subramanyam, Veena, Paramashivan, Deepak, Vaezi, Mahdi, Kumar, Amit
The growth in bitumen and synthetic crude oil (SCO) production in the Canadian oil sands industry has superseded pipeline capacity growth in recent years, leading to the increased interest in the transport of crude oil by rail to desired markets. However, the specific techno-economic parameters...

1979
The colonization of limestone bricks and bitumen coated limestone bricks by benthic river organisms was followed over time. After nine weeks of colonization, no massive increase in the numbers of bacteria on the bitumen was noted, suggesting that degradation was not proceeding rapidly. However,...

Adaptive and neutral markers both show continent-wide population structure of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae)
Download2016-01-01
Sperling, Felix A. H., Murray, Brent W., Batista, Philip D., Janes, Jasmine K., Boone, Celia K.
Assessments of population genetic structure and demographic history have traditionally been based on neutral markers while explicitly excluding adaptive markers. In this study, we compared the utility of putatively adaptive and neutral single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for inferring mountain...

Spring 2010
The technique of Inverse Gas Chromatography (IGC) was employed for the study of the interactions between various organic solvents with various types of the major inorganic materials (clay minerals and sand) found in Alberta’s oil sands. Heat of adsorption (-∆H) was measured for each solvent with...

Fraser, E., Marenholtz, E., Sobze, J-M., Schoonmaker, A., Mckenzie, M., Smreciu, A., Powter, C.B.
The purpose of this document is to review traditional and alternative systems of seed and nursery stock treatment and delivery for use in oil sands reclamation. Treatment systems are considered those activities conducted prior to delivery to the field site while delivery systems include those...
