Characterization of Tensile and Fracture Properties of X52 Steel Pipes and Their Girth Welds
DownloadSpring 2015
Enbridge vintage Norman Wells Pipeline made of X52 steels has transported crude oil from Norman Wells, Northwest Territories (NWT) to Zama, Alberta since 1985. It is the first fully buried pipeline that traverses permafrost regions in Canada, and is often subjected to adverse geotechnical...

Characterizing and Modeling Elastic Stiffness Variation of Opalinus Clay Based on Laboratory and In-situ Measurements
DownloadFall 2022
Opalinus Clay is the designated host rock for future radioactive waste disposal in Switzerland. Characterizing the elastic stiffness of Opalinus Clay and its variation is essential in the ground deformation prediction and geophysical survey during the construction and operation of disposal...

Characterizing Dual-wettability Pore Network of Unconventional Rocks by Analyzing Water and Oil Imbibition Data
DownloadSpring 2018
Recent studies show that the pore network of unconventional rocks generally consists of inorganic and organic parts. The organic part has high wetting affinity towards the oleic phase but low wetting affinity towards the aqueous phase. In contrast, the inorganic part has high wetting affinity...

Characterizing Impacts of Operating Parameter Variability on the Performance and Reliability of a Double-Stage Trommel
DownloadFall 2019
A principal equipment used in waste pre-processing systems is a rotary screen (trommel). Despite the application of trommel screens in waste processing, the full-scale performance of this method has been shown inconsistencies with theoretical models and has not been thoroughly detailed. There...

Characterizing the Impacts of Shale Barriers and Lean Zones on SAGD Performance with Data-Driven Modeling Techniques
DownloadSpring 2016
Performance of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is influenced significantly by the distributions of shale barriers and lean zones, which tend to impede the vertical growth and lateral spread of a steam chamber. Reliable appraisal and prediction of SAGD require a comprehensive understanding...

Characterizing the Transport of Process-Affected Water Contained in Oil Sands Tailings Ponds into the underlying Pleistocene clay till in Northern Alberta’s Athabasca Oil Sands region: A Field Study
DownloadFall 2011
Abolfazlzadehdoshanbehbazari, Mostafa
A small scale Infiltration Pond was constructed to characterize the transport of oil sands process affected (PA) water contained in Suncor’s South Tailings Pond (STP) to the Wood Creek Sand Channel (WCSC) through a 5-8 m thick glacial clay till. The extent of PA water infiltration was determined...

Chemical and Biological Oxidation of Naphthenic Acids - where Stoichiometry, Kinetics and Thermodynamics Meet
DownloadFall 2016
Open-pit mining of Alberta’s oil sands deposits heavily depend on freshwater for the extraction of bitumen. It leaves 1.25 m3 oil sands process affected water (OSPW) per barrel of produced oil. In spite of years of research on treatment of OSPW, currently, there are no approved economic and...
