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...

The fact that many of the giant hydrocarbon reservoirs, such as the Ghawar field in Saudi Arabia and the Grosmont formation in Alberta, are formed from carbonates make these rocks important research topics. Compressional and shear wave velocities (at 1 MHz) and the quasi-static strains of thirty...

Natural and Drilling induced Fractures in the Grosmont Formation, Alberta: Implications for the State of Stress
DownloadFall 2017
The Devonian Grosmont formation is a huge heavy oil carbonate reservoir located in northeastern Alberta that has an estimated 64.5 x 〖10〗^9 m^3 initial oil in place. This thesis will focus on issues related to the in situ state of stress and the natural fracture statistics within the Grosmont...
