2012 — Numerical Investigation of Solvent and Thermal Hybrid Processes for Thin Heavy Oil ReservoirsRésumé
Western Canada has the second largest oil resources in the world. Over 90% is heavy oil and bitumen. Vapour Extraction (VAPEX), similar to Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) but using solvent to reduce the oil viscosity, has been proposed to produce heavy oil reservoirs in an environmentally sustainable way. However, while this process might work well for thicker reservoirs, such as those in Alberta, it will likely not meet economic thresholds for thinner reservoirs, such as those in Saskatchewan. The low flow rate in the pure VAPEX process is mainly due to three reasons: low mass transfer rate compared to … Lire la suite

2012 — The Work of Work-Related Learning: An Institutional EthnographyRésumé
This is a study of how texts shape and determine what employees think and do as they work to meet employer expectations about the way in which and the extent to which they are to participate in continuous or lifelong work-related learning as a requirement of their jobs. The study’s problematic arose out of the everyday experiences of employees as they do the “work of work-related learning” associated with the texts that are integral to the administration of employee development planning as a work process embedded in a widely used type of performance management system known as the balanced scorecard. … Lire la suite
