Age, geochemistry, and fluid characteristics of the MAX porphyry Mo deposit, southeast British Columbia
DownloadFall 2009
Lawley, Christopher John Michael
MAX is a porphyry Mo deposit located near Trout Lake village in southeastern British Columbia. Mo mineralization is hosted by variably-altered calc-alkaline granodiorite dikes. Quartz veins have been subdivided into a paragenetic sequence based on vein style and crosscutting relationships....

Analysis of Water Flowback and Gas Production Data for Fracture Characterization in the Horn River Basin
DownloadSpring 2019
Shale gas is one of the most promising energy resources due to its wide distribution, abundant reserves, and low pollutant emissions to the environment. Although shale gas plays usually have very low permeability and porosity, the use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies...

Analytical and Experimental Study of Gas Flow Regime in the Matrix and Fractures of Shale Gas Reservoirs
DownloadFall 2016
One of the most significant differences between conventional and unconventional gas resources is the ultra-low matrix permeability of unconventional gas reservoirs such as shale, coal and tight gas. Matrix permeability of shales is an elusive but important parameter in characterizing shale gas...

Characterization of late-diagenetic calcites of the Devonian Southesk-Cairn Carbonate Complex (Alberta Basin): constraints from petrography, stable and radiogenic isotopes, fluid inclusion and organic matter maturity data
DownloadSpring 2010
The Alberta Basin has been the subject of various diagenetic studies but the precise understanding of the processes behind deep burial cementation remains unclear. This study investigates late-diagenetic calcites from the Devonian Southesk-Cairn Carbonate Complex with the purpose of constraining...

Characterization of Reservoir Quality Using Ichnological, Sedimentological, and Geochemical Methods
DownloadFall 2013
A detailed analysis of subsurface reservoirs from offshore Norway and Alberta, Canada is undertaken in this thesis to better categorize the influence trace fossils have on reservoir quality. Specifically, the data collected focuses on understanding burrow fabrics in two- and three-dimensions (2D...

This thesis presents two studies employing computational approaches to tephra source attribution and tephra volume estimation. Glass major oxide data was used to train 11 classification algorithms. Each classifier probabilistically attributed tephra chemistries to one of ten volcanic sources from...

Development and application of the Re-Os isotope system to sediment-hosted Zn-Pb ores and sedimentary pore waters
DownloadFall 2018
The rhenium-osmium (Re-Os) isotopic system is used to determine the age of, and trace the origins of, minerals and fluids found within the Earth's crust. This thesis focuses on application of Re-Os geochronology and isotope systematics to sulphide minerals from carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb ore...
