Yujia Guo, Alireza Nouri, Siavash Nejadi
Sand production from a poorly consolidated reservoir could give rise to some severe problems during production. Holding the load bearing solids in place is the main goal of any sand control technique. The only sand control techniques that have found applications in steam assisted gravity drainage...

Environmental risk factors for bacteriological contamination in rural drinking water wells in Samson Cree Nation
Environmental risk factors for bacteriological contamination in rural drinking water wells in Samson Cree Nation

Fraser Mah, Travis Hnidan, Evan Davies, Ania Ulrich
Bacteriological contamination of drinking water wells poses a challenge to many rural areas of First Nations communities in Alberta that rely on wells as the primary drinking water source for large proportions of their populations. Here we reviewed available historical data for the Samson Cree...

Wire-wrapped screens (WWSs) are one of the most-commonly used devices by steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) operators because of the capacity to control plugging and improve flow performance. WWSs offer high open-to-flow area (OFA) (6 to 18%) that allow a high release of fines, hence, less...

Road safety is influenced by many factors; these factors include characteristics of the road, climate, traffic and, most importantly, vehicle speeds. Previous research shows that increases in speed are typically associated with an increased collision risk. Moreover, previous studies have also...

In this study, a surrogate of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts was prepared using Cryptosporidium-sized carboxylated polystyrene microspheres and an alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP). The zeta potential of the modified surrogates was found to be similar to that of viable Cryptosporidium parvum. These...

Geotechnical Properties of Effluent-Contaminated Cohesive Soils and Their Stabilization Using Industrial By-Products.
Download2018-10-20
The unchecked and unnoticed disposal of industrial leachates is a common malpractice in developing countries. Untreated effluents from industries drastically deteriorate the soil, altering nearly all of its characteristics. An increase in urbanization has led to construction on these deteriorated...

Alberta is a major center for oil and gas production, and correspondingly harbors hundreds of unresolved contamination sites by environmental hazards such as benzene (C6H6). Due to its cost-effectiveness, bioremediation has become a promising strategy for C6H6 removal. Contamination sites...

Indigenous microorganisms residing in oil sands tailings biodegrade residual bitumen
2018-01-01
Xiaoxuan Yu, Korris Lee, Bin Ma, Evelyn Asiedu, Ania C. Ulrich
The purpose of this study was to determine the capacity of indigenous microbes in tailings to degrade bitumen aerobically, and if acetate biostimulation further improved degradation. Fluid fine tailings, from Base Mine Lake (BML), were used as microbial inocula, and bitumen in the tailings served...
