47. Petrological conditions affecting porosity in granite, and negative effects of K- and Si-metasomatism on the trapping of oil in layered Precambrian quartz diorite-gabbro sills penetrated by the AOC Granite 7-32-89-10 drill hole near Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada
The AOC Granite 7-32-89-10 hole, drilled to search for oil in the Precambrian basement below the Alberta bituminous (tar) sands near Fort McMurray, Canada, penetrates layered biotite-hypersthene quartz diorite-gabbro sills that occur between 543 and 2363.3 meters depth. Three episodes of fracturing and cataclasis affected these sills. The first allowed Kand Si-metasomatism to change many parts ...
متن کاملPAH Measurements in Air in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) measurements were conducted by Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA) at four community ambient Air quality Monitoring Stations (AMS) in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) in Northeastern Alberta, Canada. The 2012 and 2013 mean concentrations of a subset of the 22 PAH species were 9.5, 8.4, 8.8, and 32 ng m(-3) at AMS 1 (Fort McKay), AMS 6 (reside...
متن کاملAlberta Oil Sands Development and Odour Issues
Fort McKay is an Aboriginal community located in the midst of oil sand development in North East Alberta. Increasing emissions of key air contaminants from oil sands industry are monitored and regulated by provincial government. Though industrial odours have long been a cause of complaint in the region, to date odours have not been monitored or regulated by provincial governments, creating esca...
متن کاملApproximate resistivity and susceptibility mapping from airborne electromagnetic and magnetic data, a case study for a geologically plausible porphyry copper unit in Iran
This paper describes the application of approximate methods to invert airborne magnetic data as well as helicopter-borne frequency domain electromagnetic data in order to retrieve a joint model of magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity. The study area located in Semnan province of Iran consists of an arc-shaped porphyry andesite covered by sedimentary units which may have potential ...
متن کاملA brief overview of the geology of heavy oil, bitumen and oil sand deposits
Introduction There are three major oil sand areas in Canada, all in Alberta. There is also an oil sand deposit on Melville Island in the Arctic. The three major oil sand areas are from highest to lowest volume of reserves-in-place (AEUB 2003) Athabasca, Cold Lake and Peace River oil sand areas notwithstanding that bitumen reserves are also evident in subcropping carbonate rocks in Athabasca and...
