Characterization of Reservoir Quality Using Ichnological, Sedimentological, and Geochemical Methods
DownloadFall 2013
A detailed analysis of subsurface reservoirs from offshore Norway and Alberta, Canada is undertaken in this thesis to better categorize the influence trace fossils have on reservoir quality. Specifically, the data collected focuses on understanding burrow fabrics in two- and three-dimensions (2D...

Characterization of the Geothermal Resource at Clarke Lake Field Northeast British Columbia
DownloadFall 2020
Clarke Lake is a depleted gas fi eld developed in carbonate platform deposits of the Slave Point Formation (Middle Devonian) in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. It displays anomalously high reservoir temperature and strong water drive, making it a candidate for repurposing as a source of...

Deposition and sea level fluctuations during Miocene times, Grand Cayman, British West Indies
DownloadFall 2012
The Lower to Middle Miocene Cayman Formation on Grand Cayman, which is part of the Bluff Group, is at least 130 m thick. The mostly dolomitized Cayman Formation is herein divided into a ‘limestone member’ and ‘dolostone member’ as limestone is found in the formation in the central part of Grand...

Development of Ir- and Rh-Catalyzed Deoxygenation and Carbene Cross Coupling Reactions of Allylic Carbonates
DownloadFall 2016
Transition metal-catalyzed allylic substitution reactions are widely used for the selective formation of new bonds. This class of reaction has been extensively studied with a variety of nucleophiles and under optimized conditions that will furnish product in high yield and with high chemo-,...

Diagenetic Controls on Hydrothermal Fluid Flow in the Osiris, Isis, and Isis East Carlin-Type Gold Showings, Nadaleen Trend, Yukon
DownloadFall 2015
Following ATAC Resources Ltd.’s 2010 discovery of the gold prospects in the Nadaleen Trend (Central Yukon), company geologists and consultants determined that Precambrian carbonate rocks within the trend contain large endowments of gold located in the hinges of anticlines and fault zones. ...

Diagenetic overprint on negative <delta>13C excursions across the Permian/Triassic boundary: A case study from Meishan section, China.
Download2017-01-01
The Meishan Section D from China is the global stratotype section and point (GSSP) of the Permian-Triassic boundary (PTB). The succession has been divided into 115 beds with the PTB being placed in the middle of Bed 27. In this section and the laterally equivalent Section A, the diagenetic...

Dolomitization in the Uteland Butte Member of the Eocene Green River Formation, Uinta Basin, Utah
DownloadSpring 2018
The lacustrine Green River Formation (GRF) is an important oil-producing formation in the Uinta Basin, Utah (USA). In recent years, the unconventional carbonate reservoirs in the Uteland Butte member (UBM), base of the GRF, have been targeted because their estimated oil and gas resources. The...

Ediacaran iron formations and carbonates from Uruguay: palaeoceanographic, palaeoclimatic and palaeobiologic implications
DownloadFall 2010
The Ediacaran in Uruguay preserves a unique record of deposits generated during the assembly of the palaeocontinent Gondwana and concurrent with major changes in the atmosphere and oceans, and the rise of animal life. Recent studies have suggested that the deep oceans remained anoxic and highly...

Field-Scale Experimental Analysis Of Helical Steel Piles As In-Ground Heat Exchangers For Ground Source Heat Pumps
Download2022-06-01
Attard, Erica, Antoun, Sylvie, Hatefraad, Pedram, Dworkin, Seth B.
With the increasing concern of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, innovative solutions to produce energy via renewable sources are needed. Geothermal energy has the potential to provide heating and cooling to residential and commercial buildings, however, its implementation has been...

2018-01-01
Cenozoic ‘island dolostones’ are found on islands throughout the oceans of the world. Due to their geological youth and lack of deep burial, these dolostones provide an opportunity to resolve some of the mysteries surrounding the dolomite problem. In island dolostone bodies, which are of variable...
