The Upper Devonian Grosmont shelf complex is the world’s largest heavy oil deposit hosted in carbonates, with an estimated >50 billion cubic meters (318 to probably 406 bbls) of initial volume in place. At present the Grosmont is not yet under production. This study involves log interpretation,...

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...

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...

Petrophysical properties of bitumen from the Upper Devonian Grosmont reservoir, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2009
The Upper Devonian Grosmont reservoir in Alberta, Canada, is the single largest carbonate bitumen reservoir in the world, with an estimated 400 billion barrels of bitumen in place. The Grosmont bitumen formed from light crude oil via extensive biodegradation, which produced extremely high in-situ...

Wave Speed Measurements of Grosmont Formation Carbonates: Implications for Time-Lapse Seismic Monitoring
DownloadFall 2019
The Grosmont Formation is a Devonian-aged carbonate platform complex that is estimated to hold over 64.5 billion m3 (406 billion bbl) of bitumen in place, accounting for a significant portion of Canada’s total hydrocarbon reserves. Despite this, the Grosmont formation has largely been undeveloped...
