Open-Pit Mine Production Scheduling and Crusher Location-Relocation Plan under Semi-Mobile IPCC Systems
DownloadFall 2021
In most open-pit mines, material haulage costs can comprise over 50% of the total mining costs. This portion can even increase as the future mining conditions will become more challenging. Although the conventional truck-and-shovel system is adopted by over 95% of existing surface mines, in-pit...

Optimal Application Conditions for Variable Temperature Solvent Injection into Sands and Carbonates for Heavy-Oil and Bitumen Recovery
DownloadFall 2016
Steam injection is the most common technique in heavy-oil/bitumen recovery. However, the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, its water requirements, and excessive operational cost associated entail finding alternative solutions. One approach is combining steam and solvent injection...

The optimal allocation of drainage areas and surface pads for SAGD development is challenging because of several surface and subsurface constraints. It becomes more complex due to uncertainty in reservoir properties. This Thesis presents a heuristic methodology to maximize the recovery of bitumen...

Fall 2023
The downturn of the world economy and the increasingly severe competition among mining giants puts forward higher requirements for open-pit mining, which is the dominant method for humans to obtain minerals from the earth. Among these so-called higher requirements, reducing mining costs as much...

Optimization of a Cover Design for Acid Rock Drainage Prevention in a Permafrost Environment
DownloadFall 2021
The extraction of sulfide-bearing waste rock can contribute to the generation of acid rock drainage (ARD). ARD is the effluent generated due to the oxidation of sulfide minerals which can be toxic to the receiving environment. Waste rock material which contains potentially acid-generating (PAG)...

Optimization of Drilling Fluid Flow Rates – A Study of the Drilling Fluid Flow rates and Annular Pressure in Horizontal Directional Drilling
DownloadSpring 2023
Trenchless technologies have experienced the fast development and dramatic change in the past three decades. Derived from oil and gas industry, Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is considered as one of the most rapidly expanded trenchless technologies and widely used in infrastructure...

Optimization of Drilling Fluid Rheological Properties for Improved Cuttings Transport and Dynamic Filtration Loss Control Performance: A Comparative Study of the Fluid Viscoelasticity versus the Shear Viscosity Effects
DownloadFall 2022
Recent studies highlighted the significant role of drilling fluid viscoelasticity in the assessment of frictional pressure loss, particle settling velocity, hole cleaning efficiency, and dynamic filtration loss control. Although the impact of drilling fluid viscoelasticity on the various...
