Spring 2010
A reliable estimate of the amount of oil or gas in a reservoir is required for development decisions. Uncertainty in reserve estimates affects resource/reserve classification, investment decisions, and development decisions. There is a need to make the best decisions with an appropriate level...

Fall 2024
Flood depth modelling has seen significant improvements in recent years. Historically, it relied heavily on large datasets, which were difficult to gather and handle. Simple, fast response methods, such as RICorDE and FwDET, are potentially suitable for assessments of flood scenarios where...

Quantifying Matrix and Fracturing Water Contributions to the Total Produced Water Based on the Water-flowback Responses
DownloadFall 2023
The main goal of this thesis is to evaluate the possibility of quantifying matrix and fracturing water contributions to the total produced water based on the water-flowback responses without analyzing water chemical data. We analyze flowback production data of 380 multi-fractured horizontal oil...

Quantifying the Distribution of Rail Bending Stresses along the Track using Train-Mounted Deflection Measurements
DownloadSpring 2017
Heavy and frequent train loads generate large bending stresses in rail. These stresses contribute to the propagation of transverse fatigue defects, which are among the leading causes of broken rail derailments in North America. A thorough assessment of the rail structural condition requires...

Quantifying Uncertainty for In-situ Stress Estimates using Reservoir Geomechanical Pressuremeter
DownloadFall 2024
Over the last two decades, several high-profile caprock performance issues, such as surface steam and fluid releases, have highlighted the importance of caprock integrity assessments and the critical role that robust determination of the initial in-situ stress tensor plays in these assessments....

Quantitative Risk Assessment of Natural and Cut Slopes: Measuring Uncertainty in the Estimated Risks and Proposed Framework for Developing Risk Evaluation Criteria
DownloadFall 2013
Understanding and limiting the risks inherent to natural and cut slopes are now recognized to be a priority in achieving an acceptable quality of life. Various methods of risk management that have been proposed in the last three decades have evolved into a general framework for landslide risk...

Spring 2015
In the current construction industry, simulation is an effective technology that can assist engineers’ decision making on project planning and estimation. The key contribution of simulation is to model uncertainty and risk occurrence during the construction process; however, this method still...
