Spring 2016
The Joslyn steam release incident in 2006 has significantly influenced the approval process for steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) projects, which now require rigorous caprock integrity assessment to be conducted. In the past, most of the research efforts have been devoted to reservoir...

Arias Buitrago, Juan Alejandro
Reservoir and geomechanical monitoring programs are critical to ensuring operational safety in thermal projects. Although many technologies have been applied to monitor thermal operations, most of them aim to measure just a few parameters, such as pressure, temperature, and surface deformation....

Caprock Integrity analysis is the most critical stage in any thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project. One of the primary input data for conducting a reservoir-geomechanical analysis to assess the mechanical and hydraulic integrity of the caprock is the in situ stress state within the caprock....

Spring 2022
A noteworthy caprock failure occurred on the Joslyn Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) property in 2006 that continues to have a significant impact on the approval process for future SAGD projects. Two reports were released by Alberta government, which are AER Review and Analysis: Total E&P...

Three-dimensional slope stability effects in the failure at the Mount Polley Tailings Storage Facility
DownloadFall 2020
On 4 August 2014, a breach occurred in the perimeter embankment at the Mount Polley Tailings Storage Facility in British Columbia, Canada, causing a spill of mining waste into the environment. The Government of British Columbia retained an Independent Review Panel (2015) to determine the cause of...
