A preliminary vegetation survey of the Alberta oil sands environmental research program study area
Download1976
Limited time and access constraints restricted this preliminary vegetation survey to Townships 85-103, Ranges 6-12, west of the 4th meridian. This area centres on sites of maximum development north of Fort McMurray (i .e. the GCOS and Sync rude leases). Eighty-four stands were chosen as...

A review and assessment of the baseline data relevant to the impacts of oil sands developments on large mammals in the AOSERP study area
Download1980
McCourt, K. H., Ealey, D. M., Thompson, D. C.
The available baseline data which are relevant to the documentation and evaluation of the impacts on large mammals (moose, woodland caribou, wolf) which would result from oil sands development are reviewed. An approach to the analysis of impacts was developed to provide a logical framework for...

1980
Vegetation literature and maps pertinent to the AOSERP study area are reviewed and summarized. Studies from throughout northern Alberta and Saskatchewan are discussed although emphasis is given to the preliminary vegetation classification described by Stringer (1976) and the vegetation maps...

A review of aquatic biomonitoring with particular reference to its possible use in the AOSERP study area
Download1980
The general principles, approaches, and methods of aquatic biomonitoring are outlined from a review of the literature, with emphasis on those aspects directly applicable to the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP) study area. It is argued that an aquatic biomonitoring program...

This paper reviews moose habitat selection and discusses the environmental factors which affect selection. Moose use open areas and lowlands extensively in spring and early summer in apparent response to snow melt and early green-up in such areas, and possibly to the greater protein content of...

A review of the baseline data relevant to the documentation and evaluation of the impacts of oil sands developments on black bear in the AOSERP study area
Download1978-01-01
Penner, D. F., Smyth, K. E., McCourt, K. H.
Three of the tenets upon which the Canada-Alberta agreement for the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP) is founded are: 1. Canada and Alberta recognize the necessity of improving the scientific understanding of the effects of the oil sands development on the human and...

A review of the technology available for the control of atmospheric emissions from oil sands plants
Download1983
Humphreys, R. G., McMullen, A. L., Patel, B. U., Hart, A. G.
Dynawest Projects Ltd. has been commissioned by Alberta Environment to provide an overview of the technology available for the control of sulphur and nitrogen oxide emissions from oil sands plants. The study scope is summarized below: 1. Review briefly bitumen extraction and upgrading...

A Robust Model for Integration of Sand-Arch Stability and Fractal Wormhole Network in CHOPS and post-CHOPS Process Simulation
DownloadSpring 2024
Cold heavy-oil production with sand (CHOPS) is a primary recovery process in unconsolidated heavy-oil reservoirs. The recovery factor typically ranges from 5% to 15% of the initial oil in place (OOIP). Approximately 90% of crude oil is left underground with considerable exploitation potential...

A ruthenium-carbamato-complex derived from a siloxylated amine and carbon dioxide for the oxidative a-cyanation of aromatic and cyclic tertiary amines
Download2013-10-09
The ruthenium carbamate complex derived from 3-trimethoxysilyl-1- propyl amine and carbon dioxide was found to be a novel catalyst for the oxidative cyanation of aromatic and cyclic tertiary amines to corresponding a-amino nitriles in high to excellent yields by using hydrogen peroxide and...

1978
Hourly data on net surface radiation (Q) on a horizontal surface are analyzed. An equation which computes the diurnal variation of Q from a knowledge of cloud cover and the sun's declination is presented for use in operational air quality models. The three constants in the model (characteristic...
