Arctic Oil, Arctic Change: A Threefold Framework for Evaluating Pressures for Rural Oil and Gas Extraction in Alaska and the Northwest Territories
DownloadFall 2021
Oil has driven migration, community growth, and governance of the last century in the North. Today, as Arctic global warming surpasses 1°C with “profound consequences” (IPCC, 2019) for the North, the relationship between oil and climate change cannot be ignored. In light of this tension, this...

Yau, H., Timpany, P. L., Murphy, K. L.
The present and proposed industrial development associated with the Athabasca Oil Sands has resulted in a need to evaluate the Athabasca River transport and assimilation of contaminants and water occurring substances. Since the beginning of AOSERP in April 1975, water quality and quantity data...

Baseline Growth Performance Levels and Assessment Procedures for Commercial Tree Species in Alberta's Mountains and Foothills
Download1988
W.R. Dempster and Associates Ltd.
Field work was undertaken on cut-over or burned sites during the summer of 1986 to acquire data on juvenile height development of commercial tree species growing in coal-bearing areas of the Eastern Slopes of Alberta. These data were used to define reasonable expectations of early growth...

Catalogue of Technologies for Reducing the Environmental Impact of Fine Tailings from Oil Sands Processing
Download1993
Rose, D. E., Taplin, D., Fuhr, B. J.
A catalogue containing 22 technologies for reducing the environmental impact of fine tailings derived from oil sand processing has been assembled. The simple format which was developed as part of this study consisted of a spreadsheet outline of the technologies and a process summary for each...

Characterization of magnetic nanoparticles as contrast agents and their application for quantitative magnetic susceptibility monitoring of the waterflooding of heavy oil in real time
DownloadSpring 2018
Waterflooding is one enhanced oil recovery process used in heavy oil reservoirs such as at Cold Lake in North-Eastern Alberta. However, little has been published in terms of imaging heavy oil waterfloods, mainly due to the similar densities of water and heavy oil, which makes it difficult to...

CO2 solubility in brine in silica nanopores in relation to geological CO2 sequestration in tight formations: Effect of salinity and pH
Download2021-05-01
Li, Wenhui, Nan, Yiling, You, Qing, Jin, Zhehui
Geological CO2 sequestration during CO2 enhanced oil recovery in tight formations is a technically and economically viable option to alleviate carbon emission. In tight formations, there existsare enormous number of nano-scale pores, which can be filled with connate and injected water. In...
