Development of effective green lubricants for industrial drilling systems in aggressive environments
DownloadSpring 2024
In drilling systems used in the oil and gas industry, drilling equipment often encounters critical problems which could result in irreparable damage to metallic equipment. Chemical and physical interactions at the contact between different parts, such as drill bits, drill strings with well walls...

Evaluation and Analysis of the Erosion Performance of Flame Spray-Coated Polyurethane Liners
DownloadFall 2016
Polyurethane has excellent wear resistance and is an effective protective liner against erosion caused by the impact of solid particles. However, similar to most polymeric materials, polyurethane has low thermal and electrical conductivity, and this limits its applicability for use in...

Geomorphic landform design and long-term assessment of tailings storage facilities in the Athabasca oil sands
DownloadFall 2019
In stark contrast to historic mine abandonment, current international best practices in mine reclamation call for geomorphic designs and stability (physical and chemical) for a minimum of 1000 years. Current regulations in Alberta state that post-mining landforms shall be maintenance-free with...
