Media Coverage of Oil Sands Pipelines: A Chronological Record of Headlines from 2010 to 2014
Download2014-12-21
Until recently pipelines have not received much public or media attention. The lines, and the companies that operated them, flew under the radar. Their journeys through the regulatory system were usually simple, quick and free of rancor. This is certainly no longer the case. Applications for...

Standard Operating Procedures for Analysis of Naphthenic Acids from Oil Sands Process-Affected Water
Download2014-12-08
Mahdavi, H., Hepperle, S., Burkus, Z., Mian, H.
Naphthenic acids (NAs) are considered the main source of chronic and acute toxicity in oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). The purpose of this investigation is to establish elements of a standard procedure to determine and minimize the amount of NA loss during storage, sample preparation...
