Characterization of Reservoir Quality Using Ichnological, Sedimentological, and Geochemical Methods
DownloadFall 2013
A detailed analysis of subsurface reservoirs from offshore Norway and Alberta, Canada is undertaken in this thesis to better categorize the influence trace fossils have on reservoir quality. Specifically, the data collected focuses on understanding burrow fabrics in two- and three-dimensions (2D...

Diagenetic Controls on Hydrothermal Fluid Flow in the Osiris, Isis, and Isis East Carlin-Type Gold Showings, Nadaleen Trend, Yukon
DownloadFall 2015
Following ATAC Resources Ltd.’s 2010 discovery of the gold prospects in the Nadaleen Trend (Central Yukon), company geologists and consultants determined that Precambrian carbonate rocks within the trend contain large endowments of gold located in the hinges of anticlines and fault zones. ...

Ediacaran iron formations and carbonates from Uruguay: palaeoceanographic, palaeoclimatic and palaeobiologic implications
DownloadFall 2010
The Ediacaran in Uruguay preserves a unique record of deposits generated during the assembly of the palaeocontinent Gondwana and concurrent with major changes in the atmosphere and oceans, and the rise of animal life. Recent studies have suggested that the deep oceans remained anoxic and highly...

Geothermal Reservoir Characterization of the South Swan Hills Oil Pool, Swan Hills, Alberta
DownloadSpring 2022
Research in the South Swan Hills oil pool was performed to accurately delineate the geometry of the subsurface reservoir and subsequently quantify the amount of thermal energy that can be extracted for geothermal use from the reservoir water volume. South Swan Hills is an active oilfield...

Fall 2010
The Upper Devonian Grosmont shelf complex is the world’s largest heavy oil deposit hosted in carbonates, with an estimated >50 billion cubic meters (318 to probably 406 bbls) of initial volume in place. At present the Grosmont is not yet under production. This study involves log interpretation,...

Origin of Island Dolostone: Case Study of Cayman Formation (Miocene), Grand Cayman, British West Indies
DownloadFall 2017
Grand Cayman is located on an isolated fault block that is part of the Cayman Ridge that defines the southern margin of the North American Plate. The exposed part of the Oligocene to Pleistocene carbonate succession that forms the island comprises the Bluff Group (Brac Formation, Cayman...

Sedimentology, diagenesis, and dolomitization of the Brac Formation (Lower Oligocene), Cayman Brac, British West Indies
DownloadFall 2009
The Oligocene Brac Formation is the oldest part of the Bluff Group that is exposed on Cayman Brac. Sediments of the Brac Formation were deposited on a small, open bank in shallow marine waters. Today, the formation is composed of limestone, finely crystalline dolostone, and coarsely crystalline...
