Caprock Integrity analysis is the most critical stage in any thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project. One of the primary input data for conducting a reservoir-geomechanical analysis to assess the mechanical and hydraulic integrity of the caprock is the in situ stress state within the caprock....

Evaluating the Behaviour of Rock Discontinuities in Direct Shear Under Constant Normal Load and Constant Normal Stiffness Boundary Conditions Using Additive Manufacturing Technology
DownloadFall 2021
The inherent heterogeneity of natural rock and the variance in the surface roughness of discontinuities limit the repeatability of rock joint sampling and testing. One way to overcome this challenge is by using additive manufacturing (AM) techniques. AM, also referred to as 3D printing, has shown...

A sizeable portion of the Athabasca oil sand reservoir is classified as Inclined Heterolithic Stratification (IHS). IHS is a particular type of lithosome that is comprised of two alternating lithologies which are fluvially-dominated sand beds and brackish tidally-influenced mud beds. However, due...

Reservoir and geomechanical monitoring programs are critical to ensuring operational safety in thermal projects. Although many technologies have been applied to monitor thermal operations, most of them aim to measure just a few parameters, such as pressure, temperature, and surface deformation....

Methodology for Assessing Transport Properties of Wells Used in the Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide
DownloadFall 2014
One of the aspects of climate change is global warming, which can be defined as the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and the oceans and its projected continuation. Scientific understanding of the cause of global warming has been increasing. In its fourth...

Reservoir and geomechanical coupled simulation of CO2 sequestration and enhanced coalbed methane recovery
DownloadFall 2009
Coalbeds are an extremely complicated porous medium with characteristics of heterogeneity, dual porosity and stress sensitivity. In the past decades great achievements have been made to the simulation models of pressure depletion coalbed methane (CBM) recovery process and CO2 sequestration and...

An Experimental and Numerical Study on Complex Behaviour of Cement Paste under SAGD Operating Conditions
DownloadSpring 2020
During the exploration stage for oil sands mining or in situ thermal projects, many wells are drilled to recover core for resource assessment: these wells are referred to as stratigraphic wells. These stratigraphic wells are subsequently plugged with either thermal or non-thermal quality cement...
