... Abstract Water availability and water storage will have impacts on oil sands development as surface-mined production increases. As a result, several technologies designed to increase the percentage of recycle water are being evaluated. One such option is the use of centrifuges to produce dry...

... and subject to correction. Abstract The objective of this paper is the investigation and evaluation of the performance and life expectancy of NPT threaded connections as applied to a particular type of reciprocating compressor units. The study focused on the assessment of the levels of excitation forces...

... Abstract Current and forecasted prices for gas and crude oil are generating increased demand for property evaluations utilizing thermal methods. Operators and investors require fast and reliable property evaluations identifying the technical and economic feasibility of implementing thermal...

... Abstract An economic indicator, simple thermal efficiency parameter (STEP), was developed to evaluate the performance of a steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) project. Its usefulness as an economic indicator was also validated for typical Alberta oil sands areas. In reality, the economics...
