Development, Modelling and Control of a Continuous Pilot Scale Supercritical Fluid Extraction Process
DownloadSpring 2017
In this thesis, the feasibility and operation of a continuous pilot scale supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) process for treatment of oil-contaminated solids, specifically drill cuttings, was investigated. For this purpose, a continuous pilot scale SFE process, the first of its kind, was...

The presence of chlorine in the subcratonic lithospheric mantle (SCLM) has been evaluated by compiling the compositional data of fluid inclusions in fibrous diamonds. Chlorine associates with potassium, dissolving in water and forming a KCl-bearing brine with the Cl/(Cl+H2O) molar ratio of...

Effects of Alternative Forest Harvesting Strategies on Snowpack Dynamics and Seasonal Soil Moisture Storage in Alberta's Mountain Headwaters
DownloadFall 2019
Snowpack accumulation and melt dynamics, and soil moisture storage (SMS) play a critical role in regulating stressed regional water supplies in the southern Alberta Rockies. However, these processes are sensitive to impacts from forest cover losses by timber harvesting and associated land...

Evaluating Wettability and Imbibition Oil Recovery of the Core Plugs and Crushed Rock Samples from the Duvernay Formation
DownloadSpring 2018
Unconventional sources have become the leading sources of hydrocarbons in North America. These unconventional resources with low porosity and ultra-low permeability can produce hydrocarbon at profitable rates from a hydraulically fractured horizontal well. However, rock-fluid properties need to...

Experimental investigation on evaporation induced convection in water using laser based measurement techniques
DownloadFall 2010
Recent studies showed that evaporation of water can induce surface tension gradients along the water surface and ultimately lead to convection, known as Marangoni convection. This study was devoted to visualization and characterization of the evaporation-induced, surface-tension-driven convection...

This study investigates the extraction of hydrocarbons from oil sand using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO2). Experiments were carried out on three different types of oil sands. After some preliminary experiments, the feasibility of extracting hydrocarbons from oil sands by SC CO2 was...

Understanding peoples' preferences for resources that are not bought or sold in a market is a challenging and yet often inescapable undertaking for informing decisions regarding many environmental problems. This thesis presents three studies on how people make decisions involving environmental...

Fall 2009
Following the economic theory of averting behaviour, this thesis examines preferences for drinking water in Canada. Probabilistic mortality risk perceptions and other perceived water quality measures are included in econometric models of choice, and assessed for their impact, and value. The...

Heavy Oil/Bitumen Recovery by Alternate Injection of Steam and Solvent (Hydrocarbon and CO2) in Fractured Carbonates and Oilsands
DownloadFall 2013
The world energy demand is constantly increasing and fossil fuels are still by far the main energy resource that supplies the world energy consumption market, therefore increasing oil recovery from all types of reservoirs is an important matter. The burning of fossil fuels for energy purposes, on...
