Analytical Solution for SAGD with Consideration of Temperature Variation along the Edge of a Steam Chamber
DownloadSpring 2017
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is a widely-used method for heavy-oil and bitumen recovery. Analytical models were presented in the literature for bitumen-production rate and steam-to-oil ratio (SOR) for SAGD. They often overestimate bitumen-production rate substantially. Various...

Data-Driven Approaches to Estimate the Impact and Presence of Shale Barriers in SAGD Reservoirs
DownloadSpring 2019
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is one of the most successful in-situ techniques and has been widely adopted for heavy oil and bitumen recovery. Steam chamber development and SAGD production performance are highly sensitive to the reservoir heterogeneity, thus characterizing shale...

Development and Application of Hydraulic Fracturing Simulation for Analysis of Fracture Interference and Distributed Acoustic Sensing Characterization
DownloadFall 2023
Low-frequency distributed acoustic sensing (LF-DAS) is one of the promising diagnostic techniques to detect and characterize hydraulic fractures. LF-DAS signals can capture fracture hits and the strain field around the hydraulic fracture and provide continuous monitoring of fracture geometry and...

Failure Pressure Prediction of Cracks in Corrosion Defects in Pipelines using eXtended Finite Element Method
DownloadFall 2020
Pipelines are one of the safest means of oil and gas transportation. In Canada, 97% of all oil and gas production is transported by pipelines. However, their increasing age can constitute integrity concerns due to the presence of defects such as cracks, welds, dents, and corrosion. These defects...

Integrating Data Analytics and Mass Balance Approaches to Estimate and Understand Regional Methane Emissions: A Study in the Permian Basin
DownloadFall 2023
Satellite-retrieved methane (CH4) concentration data offers a valuable opportunity for large-scale emissions monitoring. However, its widespread adoption remains challenging due to the data volume and varying data quality. A workflow to estimate the methane emission rate of major hydrocarbon...

Modeling of Recovery and In-situ Distribution of Fracturing Fluid in Shale Gas Reservoirs Due to Fracture Closure, Proppant Distribution and Gravity Segregation
DownloadSpring 2017
Many stimulated shale gas wells experience surprisingly low fracturing fluid recoveries. Fracture closure, gravity segregation, fracture tortuosity, proppant distribution, drawdown pressure and shut-in (soaking) duration have been widely postulated to be the contributing factors. Despite propped...

Multi-Objective Optimization of the Steam Alternating Solvent (SAS) Process using Pareto-based Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms
DownloadSpring 2022
The Steam Alternating Solvent (SAS) process is a relatively new auspicious alternative recovery process to produce heavy oil and bitumen resources. This process consists of injecting steam and solvent (i.e. propane) alternatively using the same well configuration as the widely adopted...

Novel Artificial Neural Network Model for Predicting Failure Pressure of Thin-walled Pipes Containing Axially-oriented Surface Cracking Subjected to Internal Pressure
DownloadSpring 2024
Axial cracking is a major integrity threat for oil and natural gas transmission pipelines in Canada since its presence can lead to detrimental oil leaks or ruptures, resulting in pipeline incidents, and eventually causing severe damage to the property and the environment. Therefore, periodically...

Spring 2016
Increasing demand of global energy and limited conventional resources force the petroleum industry to shift their focus towards the low permeability reservoirs such as shale or tight rock reservoir. Multi-fractured horizontal wells have economically unlocked the massive hydrocarbon resources from...

Optimization of steam/solvent injection methods: Application of hybrid techniques with improved algorithm configuration
DownloadFall 2012
Heavy oil and bitumen recovery processes need to be optimized in order to increase the recovery, reduce costs, and minimize the environment impact. Most of the optimization studies published in petroleum engineering literature focus on a few design parameters by combining the elements of...
