Development of Prediction Tools for Improved Wear Assessment of Pipelines and Complex Geometries
DownloadSpring 2021
Particle-laden flows such as pneumatic conveying or slurry transport are common in the minerals processing and oil sands industries. These industries face the challenge of erosion wear due to the repeated impact of the entrained particles, and subsequent damage to pipelines and equipment. Many...

Spring 2015
Hydraulic transportation efficiency and production cost optimization are required in the surface extraction of Athabasca oil sand deposits. Currently, stationary pipelines are used for slurry transportation in many mines. In order to reduce the dependence on haulage truck for long haulage...

Mechanistic Simulation Study of Steam-Solvent Coinjection for Bitumen and Heavy-Oil Recovery
DownloadFall 2013
Solvent-steam coinjection has been proposed as an alternative to SAGD. Detailed oil recovery mechanisms of coinjection are little known due to complex interaction of phase behavior, and fluid and energy flow. This research conducts a detailed mechanistic study of phase behavior and its...
