Fall 2013
There are currently no reliable methods for predicting liquid heat capacities of ill-defined hydrocarbons, such as bitumen and heavy crude oils and their partly processed fractions. Estimation techniques for liquid phase isobaric heat capacity of pure compounds include corresponding state and...

Shardt, Nadia, Wang, Yingnan, Jin, Zhehui, Elliott, Janet
It is desirable to predict the surface tension of liquid mixtures for a wide range of compositions, temperatures, and pressures, but current state-of-the-art calculations (e.g., density gradient theory) are computationally expensive. We propose a computationally simple—but accurate—semi-empirical...

Taylor, B., Hamilton, H., Westlake, D., Wallace, R., Foght, J., Hrudey, S.
This report investigates the relationship between certain hydrocarbons that are present naturally, or could be introduced due to surface oil sands mining and upgrading activities, and their potential bioaccumulation and tainting of the commercial fishery in the Athabasca River. This includes...

Phase Behavior and Thermophysical Properties of Athabasca Bitumen and Athabasca Bitumen + Toluene Mixtures in Near-critical Water
DownloadSpring 2014
The phase behavior and thermophysical properties of heavy hydrocarbons + water at elevated temperatures underpins development and implementation of coordinated production and refining processes, where for example, bitumen is produced by a SAGD method (steam assisted gravity drainage) and the...

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...

Anaerobic biodegradation of hydrocarbons in different oil sands tailings ponds: key microbial players and main activation pathway of hydrocarbon biodegradation
DownloadFall 2016
Anaerobic biodegradation of hydrocarbons is an important process in oil sands tailings ponds, which directly affects consolidation of tailings and extent of greenhouse gas emissions from tailings ponds. Since tailings ponds from different operators differ due to extraction process, age of...

Mass transfer at an organic solid – organic liquid interface within reservoir rock under creeping flow conditions
DownloadFall 2018
There is a growing recognition that knowledge gaps related to the molecular and phase state complexity of hydrocarbon resources, and their interactions within production and processing environments have begun impeding development of new or improved processes that protect the natural environment...
