Thompson, M. D., Kirby, M. E., Wride, M. C.
The purpose of this study was to prepare ecological habitat working maps at a scale of 1:50,000 from false colour infrared photographs of the AOSERP study area obtained in 1977, and to evaluate multispectral and multistage remote sensing techniques for application to mapping and monitoring in the...

Ecological studies of the aquatic invertebrates of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program study area, northeastern Alberta
Download1980
This project, which was a continuation of 1976-77 activities of AOSERP Project AF 2.0, \"Interim Report on Ecological Studies on the Benthic Invertebrates of Various Rivers in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program Study Area, Northeastern Alberta\", was to describe the basic...

Ectomycorrhizae of Jack Pine and Green Alder: Assessment for the Need for Innoculation, Development of Innoculation Techniques, and Outplanting Trials on Oil Sands Tailings
Download1988
The overall objectives of these studies were to characterize the mycorrhizal status of jack pine and green alder which are prime candidates as reclamation species for oil sand tailings and to determine the potential benefits of mycorrhizae on plant performance. This entailed determining the...

Spring 2021
Hot water extraction technique has been applied to extract bitumen from oil sands for decades. With the challenge of low oil prices, achieving higher recovery and efficient production becomes more urgent. In recent years, the overall recovery and froth quality have been improved significantly...

Effect of Temperature, Phase Change, and Chemical Additive on Interfacial Properties and Performance of Steam Applications
DownloadFall 2019
When considering the wettability state during steam applications, we find that most issues remain unanswered. Removal of polar groups from the rock surface with increasing temperature improves water wettability; however, other factors, including phase change, play a reverse role. In other words,...

Fall 2010
The effect of slurry conditioning on bitumen recovery and bitumen froth quality has been studied by using three oil sands ores tested with a laboratory hydrotransport extraction system (LHES) and a Denver flotation cell. Tests with the LHES show that an increase in slurry conditioning time...

Fall 2014
The oil sands landscape in northern Alberta is interspersed with large tailings ponds that hold wastewater from bitumen mining and extraction processes. Recent monitoring results indicate that annually many thousands of birds, mostly migrating waterfowl, land on the ponds associated with this...

Fall 2014
With conventional sources of oil depleting, non-conventional oil resources such as heavy crude oil, oil shales, and oil sands are gaining importance as alternatives. Various extraction processes have been employed to separate bitumen from oil sands. The relatively unexplored electromagnetic...
