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...

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. ...

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...

Geochemistry and geochronology of the Precambrian Basement Domains in the Vicinity of Fort McMurray, Alberta: A Geothermal Perspective
DownloadSpring 2013
The geochemistry and geochronology of the Precambrian basement in the vicinity of Fort McMurray was investigated to evaluate the feasibility of geothermal heat production. The basement is composed of older (1.95-1.98 Ga) and younger (1.92-1.94 Ga) granitoids suites of the Taltson Magmatic Zone...

Geothermal Reservoir Characterization of the South Swan Hills Oil Pool, Swan Hills, Alberta
DownloadSpring 2022
Research in the South Swan Hills oil pool was performed to accurately delineate the geometry of the subsurface reservoir and subsequently quantify the amount of thermal energy that can be extracted for geothermal use from the reservoir water volume. South Swan Hills is an active oilfield...

Geothermal exploration and tectonic studies in southwestern Canada using the magnetotelluric method
DownloadFall 2023
Subduction zones are an important class of plate boundaries and are the location of several important geological processes. Significant mineral and geothermal energy resources are also formed by plate convergence. The magnetotelluric (MT) method is a useful tool to study subduction zones,...

Heavy Oil/Bitumen Recovery by Alternate Injection of Steam and Solvent (Hydrocarbon and CO2) in Fractured Carbonates and Oilsands
DownloadFall 2013
The world energy demand is constantly increasing and fossil fuels are still by far the main energy resource that supplies the world energy consumption market, therefore increasing oil recovery from all types of reservoirs is an important matter. The burning of fossil fuels for energy purposes, on...
