Natural and Drilling induced Fractures in the Grosmont Formation, Alberta: Implications for the State of Stress
DownloadFall 2017
The Devonian Grosmont formation is a huge heavy oil carbonate reservoir located in northeastern Alberta that has an estimated 64.5 x 〖10〗^9 m^3 initial oil in place. This thesis will focus on issues related to the in situ state of stress and the natural fracture statistics within the Grosmont...
