Understanding the Role of Caustic Addition: A Comparison of Sodium Hydroxide and Ammonium Hydroxide
DownloadSpring 2012
To understand the role of caustic addition and its effect on the bitumen extraction process, a novel flow cell and a Denver Cell extraction unit were utilized. This allowed for the comparison of sodium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxides effect on real oil sands ores. Several ores (A1, C-ore,...

Use of a solvent in the oxidative desulfurization of bitumen via autoxidation; effects on viscosity and oxidation
DownloadSpring 2014
This work describes the effect that including a solvent in the reaction media of the autoxidation of Cold Lake bitumen has on the viscosity and also on the oxidation degree reached. The comparison of viscosity was performed both in the basis of equal residence time and equal oxygen conversion...

Use of an Acoustic Location System to Understand Songbird Response to Vegetation Regeneration on Reclaimed Wellsites in the Boreal Forest of Alberta
DownloadFall 2017
Limited information exists on the recovery of different ecosystem components following reclamation of oil and gas wellsites in the boreal forest of Alberta. Songbird response to wellsite reclamation efforts in the boreal forest was previously unexamined, despite the abundance of wellsites,...

Use of Bioacoustic Technology to Evaluate Habitat Use and Road Effects on Two Anuran Amphibians in the Boreal Region of Northeastern Alberta
DownloadFall 2017
Habitat loss and fragmentation are thought to be leading causes behind local to global amphibian declines. Recent expansion of the energy sector in the western boreal forest of northeastern Alberta raises concerns for amphibians that occupy this landscape. Methods for monitoring anuran amphibians...

Fall 2012
The kinetics of vapor phase cracking of bitumen derived heavy gas oil and the quality of liquid products were investigated at temperatures of 600-700 °C. Fixed and condensed gases were analyzed by gas chromatography. The quality of liquid products was characterized using simulated distillation,...

Wave Speed Measurements of Grosmont Formation Carbonates: Implications for Time-Lapse Seismic Monitoring
DownloadFall 2019
The Grosmont Formation is a Devonian-aged carbonate platform complex that is estimated to hold over 64.5 billion m3 (406 billion bbl) of bitumen in place, accounting for a significant portion of Canada’s total hydrocarbon reserves. Despite this, the Grosmont formation has largely been undeveloped...
