Non-traditional sources of critical minerals from the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin
… minerals from non-traditional sources of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) with a focus on REE from coal combustion by-products (CCBs) and Li from basinal brines. The first phase of this work used machine learning to identify geochemical indicators of REE enrichment in sedimentary …

Effects of erosion on pore pressure and groundwater flow in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin
… occur in Cretaceous sediments over much of the western Canada sedimentary basin. I used a numerical model to study the origin of the low pressure in southern Alberta and its effects on patterns of regional groundwater flow over the past 5 m.y. The model accounts for changes in basin topography, …

Stratigraphic partitioning and reservoir distribution of the Late Devonian to Early Mississippian Exshaw Formation, Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.
… Formation is a black shale reservoir within the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) that accumulated as an organic-rich basinal mudrock within a tectonically extensional region prone to horst and graben structures. This study characterizes sedimentologic and stratigraphic controls on Exshaw …

A Comparative Study of Silicified Rock Reservoir in Shunnan 4 well of Tarim Basin with Hydrothermal Chert Reservoir of Parkland Gas Field in Western Canada Sedimentary Basin
… area which is located in the center of Tarim Basin, northwest China. Comparing to previous work about the silicificaition, much more detailed petrographic descriptions have been carried out in this study. The most important diagenetic features to the silicification are identified including …

The sequence stratigraphic evolution of the Sturgeon Lake bank, central Alberta, Canada and its regional implications.
… (Late Frasnian) platform located within the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB). Stratigraphic correlation of the Leduc Formation across the WCSB reveals a dominantly backstepping stratal geometry. The Sturgeon Lake South bank complex is composed of 12 retrogradationally stacked …

Spatial heterogeneity in isotope and biomarker distributions : insights from the End-Devonian OAE in Western Canada.
… and trace element geochemistry across the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) delves into the complex interactions between nutrient cycling, primary productivity, and organic matter preservation in marine ecosystems, with a particular focus on the Late Devonian period, where similar …

Petrology, geochemistry, diagenesis and depositional environment of the Upper Devonian - Lower Carboniferous Exshaw Formation, northwestern Alberta.
… organic-rich petroleum source rock. It is one of Canada's most important petroleum source rocks and is a major contributor to the Lower Cretaceous Mannville heavy oil accumulations in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. The development of organic-rich deposits has been the center of much …

Origin of Green Shales in the Devonian Swan Hills Formation, Alberta, Canada
… green shales in the Devonian succession of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.

Numerical simulation and optimization of cyclic and continuous fluid injection for geothermal energy recovery
… water base geothermal reservoirs that locate at Western Canada Sedimentary Basin and the area in the City of Regina. The simulation of the primary recovery (rely on the natural energy release from the original reservoirs) and secondary recovery (continuous water injection and cyclic water …

Identification of a thermal maturation high, revised maturity map, and production trends of the Late Devonian Duvernay Formation, Alberta, Canada.
The Late Devonian Duvernay Formation in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin is a prolific shale reservoir that has been developed since 2010 and produced 250 million barrels of oil equivalent. Regional thermal maturity trends across central and southern Alberta published in the literature are …

Biogeochemical Cycling and Paleoenvironmental Reconstructions of the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event from Western North America
… changes across the T-OAE from a sedimentary succession that was deposited on the margins of a different ocean basin away from the well-studied European successions. Specifically, I have studied the chemostratigraphy of the Fernie Formation of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin …

Stratigraphy, Sedimentology, and Ichnology of the Middle Cambrian to Lower Ordovician Deposits in Subsurface Western Canada
… eighty-six well-cores recovered across the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin that include this succession were analyzed in detail. In the area of study, the middle Cambrian to Lower Ordovician strata, has been subdivided into three units: the Basal Sandstone Unit (BSU), the Earlie Formation, …

Sedimentology, ichnology, and stratigraphic architecture of the upper Devonian-lower Mississippian Bakken Formation, west-central Saskatchewan
The Upper Devonian-Lower Mississippian Bakken Formation has recently become a prolific producer of light gravity oil in southeastern Saskatchewan since the advent of horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracture technologies, which has resulted in an increase in geological studies within …
