Applying Machine Learning Techniques to Improving Truck Productivity Prediction Accuracy at Mine Sites
DownloadFall 2023
In oil sands mining, off-the-road trucks play a leading role in transporting bulk materials (ores and waste). The productivity of truck haulage (also referred to as truck productivity), defined as the truck payload per unit time in each truck haulage cycle, is of great interest to the mining...

Applications of Lime and Enzymes for Oil Sands Tailings Management: Dewatering and Mitigation of Methane Emissions
DownloadSpring 2023
The remediation of oil sands tailings is a crucial environmental aspect of the Canadian oil sands industry. Oil sands tailings management involves the endless storage of massive volumes of fluid fine tailings (FFT). The slow gravity settling of tailings, the release of toxic compounds, and the...

Applications of Ensemble Kalman Filter for characterization and history matching of SAGD reservoirs
DownloadFall 2011
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is the most robust thermal recovery process that has unlocked western Canadian heavy oil and bitumen reserves into economical recovery. The prime challenges in SAGD heavy oil developments and well planning in the Northern Alberta formations are:...

Fall 2014
The extraction of bitumen from oil sands in Alberta, Canada, leads to the creation of tailings that are contained in lake-sized ponds under zero discharge policy. Stratification of tailings over time leads to the formation of mature fine tailings (MFT), an oil based emulsion containing residual...

Discarded tires have been an environmental concern in different parts of the world. One mass application to avoid such environmental concern is to use them as embankment fill material in civil engineering projects. In such applications, discarded tires are usually used in a shred form referred as...

Application of Principal Component Analysis for the Data Mining of High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Datasets
DownloadFall 2014
The release of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) from tailings ponds is a major environmental issue that oil sands companies must consider over the next decade. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and biological treatment processes have been shown to be able to degrade contaminant compounds...

Application of Ozone and Peroxone Processes for Naphthenic Acids Degradation in Oil Sands Process-Affected Water: Characterization of Water Before and After Treatment
DownloadFall 2017
Appling ozone (O3) with high doses (>100 mg/L) to remove naphthenic acids (NAs) from oil sands process-affected water (OSPW); limits its application and feasibility in the OSPW remediation. To decrease the required doses and their associated costs, this study examined the application of ozone...
