A technique to visualize miscible displacement in porous media using laser and the analysis of the results for different processes are presented in this thesis. After saturating the model made of different sized glass beads with oil, solvent was introduced either under dynamic (injection and...

Rail transportation is a vital component of Canada’s economy, with great distances separating urban centres. Disruptions to rail service can have costly implications, not only in terms of monetary loss, but also to the environment, the public and railroad employees. Derailments account for a...

Estimating Diffusion Coefficients And Visualizing Interactions In Propane-Heavy Oil Systems
DownloadSpring 2019
Unconventional oil (mainly heavy oil, extra heavy oil and bitumen) represents a significant share of global oil reserves. Due to their high viscosity, efficient recovery of oil from these reserves is challenging and remains an issue of ongoing global research. Thermal recovery methods are...

Lab to Field Scale Modeling of Low Temperature Air Injection with Hydrocarbon Solvents for Heavy-Oil Recovery in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
DownloadFall 2015
Alternatives for enhanced oil recovery processes in heavy oil containing deep naturally fractured reservoirs (NFR) are limited due to excessive heat losses when steam is injected. Air injection at high temperature oxidation conditions (in-situ combustion) has been considered as an alternative to...

Moosavi Nanehkaran, Seyed Abdol Hadi
This study presents the nonlinear design of a state space controller to control hydraulic actuators under displacement control, specifically for real-time pseudo-dynamic testing applications. The proposed control design process uses the nonlinear state space model of the dynamics of the system to...

In the past few decades, there have been more extreme climate events occurring worldwide, constituting a growing risk for our societies. For example, Canada has experienced several extreme precipitation events that resulted in billions of dollars of damage, such as the flood events of Calgary and...
