Analysis of Shale-Water Interactions and Flowback Water Chemistry for Fracture Characterization
DownloadFall 2018
Extensive imbibition experiments are performed to investigate shale-water interactions at different conditions. Effects of rock-surface area, rock volume, temperature, and pressure are investigated on the ion concentration during the imbibition experiments. The experimental results of ion...

Spring 2014
The Mackenzie Delta is the second largest northern delta in the world. The water from the Delta entering the Beaufort Sea has a significant impact on its dynamics. Areas in the Delta were surveyed using LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). The goals of this study were to characterize the...

Spring 2023
Characterizing infiltration through acid generating waste rock is essential in addressing critical environmental issues attributed to mining activities. At it’s peak operation, Faro Mine in Yukon, Canada was one of the world’s largest lead and zinc mines, where 320 million tonnes of waste rock...

Analysis of the effectiveness of magnetic filters of shovel hydraulic system and successive hydraulic failure prediction using data-driven approaches
DownloadFall 2022
Surface mining dominates the world's production of minerals. Currently, almost all non-metallic minerals (more than 95 %), most metallic minerals (more than 90%), and a significant fraction of coal (more than 60%) are mined by surface mining methods. The hydraulic shovel-truck system forms the...

Analysis of Water Flowback and Gas Production Data for Fracture Characterization in the Horn River Basin
DownloadSpring 2019
Shale gas is one of the most promising energy resources due to its wide distribution, abundant reserves, and low pollutant emissions to the environment. Although shale gas plays usually have very low permeability and porosity, the use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies...

Fall 2015
Constitutive law is a key component in the development of numerical models to simulate erosion of solid particles in a porous medium. In combination with the principle of conservation of mass, these models allow the estimation of internal erosion rate as a function of various parameters such as...

Analytical and Experimental Study of Gas Flow Regime in the Matrix and Fractures of Shale Gas Reservoirs
DownloadFall 2016
One of the most significant differences between conventional and unconventional gas resources is the ultra-low matrix permeability of unconventional gas reservoirs such as shale, coal and tight gas. Matrix permeability of shales is an elusive but important parameter in characterizing shale gas...
