Reservoir and geomechanical monitoring programs are critical to ensuring operational safety in thermal projects. Although many technologies have been applied to monitor thermal operations, most of them aim to measure just a few parameters, such as pressure, temperature, and surface deformation....

Caprock Integrity analysis is the most critical stage in any thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project. One of the primary input data for conducting a reservoir-geomechanical analysis to assess the mechanical and hydraulic integrity of the caprock is the in situ stress state within the caprock....

Canada has giant oil reserves which ranks third worldwide with proven oil reserves of 171 billion barrels. Alberta alone contributes with 165.4 billion barrels found in oil sands. However, those oil sands are extremely viscous and only 10% are recoverable by means of open-pit mining. In-situ...
