A New Material Characterization Approach for Evaluating the Deformational Capacity of Onshore Pipelines
DownloadSpring 2019
The buckling instability phenomenon in shell structures is inherently influenced by a variety of parameters which may exhibit direct nonlinear relationships with the resultant stress and consequent deformation in the structure, as well as complex interrelationships, under various loading...

Bio-oil which is produced by fast pyrolysis of biomass has high energy density compared to ‘as received’ biomass. Two cases are studied for pipeline transport of bio-oil, a coal-based and hydro power based electricity supplies. These cases of pipeline transport are compared to two cases of...

Characterization of magnetic nanoparticles as contrast agents and their application for quantitative magnetic susceptibility monitoring of the waterflooding of heavy oil in real time
DownloadSpring 2018
Waterflooding is one enhanced oil recovery process used in heavy oil reservoirs such as at Cold Lake in North-Eastern Alberta. However, little has been published in terms of imaging heavy oil waterfloods, mainly due to the similar densities of water and heavy oil, which makes it difficult to...

Design and Implementation of Chipless RFID-Based Monitoring Sensor System for Coated Metallic Structures' Integrity
DownloadFall 2020
This thesis work presents structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques for coated-metallic structures based on Chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The structures of interest for this study include pipelines for crude oil transportation and storage tanks (or terminals). The...

Evaluation of Methods Used to Estimate the Required Thrust Force for Direct Pipe Installation Within Clayey Soil Based on Case Studies
DownloadSpring 2019
There is a unique technology called Direct Pipe Installation (DPI) developed by Herrenknecht Tunnelling Systems (Herrenknecht) which is becoming more a prominent construction method in the pipeline crossing industry. This construction technique is completed by connecting a micro tunnel boring...

Finite Element-based Stress Intensity Factor Estimation for Fatigue Crack Growth Simulation and Stochastic Filtering-based Fatigue Crack Growth Prediction of Pipelines
DownloadSpring 2022
Fatigue cracking is one of the major integrity threats to oil and gas pipelines. Having a reliable trajectory of fatigue crack growth once detected is very crucial for decision making regarding integrity threat management. In-line Inspection (ILI) tools, and other non-destructive methods are used...

A challenge in petroleum geostatistics is the application of modeling algorithms such as Gaussian simulation to unstructured grids that are being used for flow simulation. Geostatistical modeling is typically applied on a fine scale regular grid and then upscaled to the unstructured grid. This...
