Laboratory Rock Strength Measurements of Saturated Carbonates: Implications for the Grosmont Formation
DownloadFall 2018
The Devonian Grosmont formation, located in Alberta, contains vast resources totaling approximately 405 billion barrels of crude bitumen-in-place. The highly viscous bitumen is by definition less than 10° API gravity, remaining immobile at Grosmont formation in-situ temperatures. In the oil and...

Life Cycle Assessment of Transportation Fuels from Canada’s Oil Sands through Development of Theoretical Engineering Models
DownloadFall 2014
Oil sands in Canada are significant in fulfilling the current and the future energy demands of North America. The development of these resources, besides the increased awareness in global carbon management, has given way to various policy regulations such as the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS)...

Fall 2013
In industrial visbreaking processes, the conversion typically takes place at ~450 °C and the extent of conversion is limited by the coking propensity of the feed. Some of the older literature on bitumen upgrading reported that it was possible to substantially upgrade the straight run product at...

Mass transfer at an organic solid – organic liquid interface within reservoir rock under creeping flow conditions
DownloadFall 2018
There is a growing recognition that knowledge gaps related to the molecular and phase state complexity of hydrocarbon resources, and their interactions within production and processing environments have begun impeding development of new or improved processes that protect the natural environment...

Spring 2010
The demand for accurate bitumen-pentane mass transfer data was the main motivation behind this research. Difficulties such as complex phase behavior, high viscosity and opacity of the hydrocarbon invariably lead to failure of conventional techniques to measure mass transfer coefficients...

Fall 2015
Drop transfer from one solid surface to another through stretching liquid bridges between them is important for many industrial applications. Due to the different dominate forces, three possible regimes exist: Quasi-static Regime, where the transfer process is only dominated by surface forces;...

Metal particle catalyst formation from thin films for the creation of vertically aligned carbon nanotube structures
DownloadFall 2011
This work contains research associated with the metal catalysts used in the formation of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) films through catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD). The solid-state dewetting process of thin metal films is studied using Ni. In the dewetting process, grain...

Microwave Heating Of Non-Aqueous Oil Sands Extraction Gangue: Study Of Optimal Cyclohexane-Water Mass Ratio And Solvent Recovery Rate
DownloadFall 2023
Non-aqueous bitumen extraction processes (NAE) of mined oil sands ore have been investigated to circumvent the environmental and operating limitations of the current hot water-based technology. However, one primary challenge of NAE is a solvent recovery that meets environmental and economic...
