Diagenetic Evolution of the Middle Devonian Stone and Dunedin Formations of the Liard Basin, Northeast British Columbia
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2013-05)The Middle Devonian Stone and Dunedin formations are correlative to the Chinchaga and Keg River formations in Northwest Alberta, as well as the Headless and Nahanni formations in Southern Yukon. Core study has identified ... -
Enhanced Heat and Mass Transfer for Alkane Solvent(s)-CO2-Heavy Oil Systems at High Pressures and Elevated Temperatures
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2016-09)The tremendous heavy oil reserves have recently attracted considerable attention for sustaining the increasing global oil consumption. Heavy oil reservoirs are characterized by high oil viscosity and drastic drop of ... -
An Examination of the Mineralogy and Lithology of the Bakken Shale with Implications upon the Bakken Petroleum System, Southeastern Saskatchewan
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2016-06-08)Late Devonian and Early Mississippian Bakken shales are important source rocks to the oil accumulations in southeastern Saskatchewan. However, to date there is lack of knowledge concerning the mineralogy and lithology of ... -
Experimental and Mathematical Studies of Cyclic Solvent Injection To Enhance Heavy Oil Recovery
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2017-05)It has been suggested that Cyclic Solvent Injection (CSI) is a highly promising technique to recover heavy oil resources at which other recovery techniques are not economically or efficiently available. Therefore, it is ... -
Geological Effects and Petrophysical Flow Unit Model for the Middle Bakken Member, South-East Saskatchewan
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2012-07)The Devonian-Mississippian Bakken formation is a relatively thin heterogeneous unit that stretches across the subsurface of the Williston Basin in North Dakota, Montana, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. In terms of oil and ... -
Geology of Sub-Salt Carbonate Rocks in the Rozhkovsky Structure, Northern Precaspian Basin, Kazakhstan: Implications for the Formation of Carbonate Reservoir in a Relatively Closed Diagenetic System
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2021-07)Sub-salt carbonate successions in the Precaspian Basin host several world-famous oil/gas fields along the basin margin. The Early Carboniferous Sub-salt carbonate rocks are associated with the Rozhkovsky structure near ... -
Lithofacies Attributes, Depositional Environments, Biostratigraphy and Cyclicity of the Lockhart Limestone, Upper Indus Basin, Northern Pakistan
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2019-03)The Indian Subcontinent contained a wide shallow marine continental shelf during most of the Paleocene and Eocene epochs before its collision with Eurasia. The Indus Basin formed the Pakistani portion of the subcontinent ... -
