Sand Erosion in Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand

Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS) is a production method to produce heavy oil (>100 cP). It is mainly applied onshore Canada in unconsolidated sand reservoirs. Different theories exist about how the erosion process takes place inside the reservoir. This research project focused on the influence of the grain stress on the sand erosion...

Sediment Concentration due to Currents and Irregular Waves: The effects of grading of the bed material: analysis report

Coastal changes are often the result of changes in the sediment transport rates along a coast. For the prediction of coastal changes, it is therefore necessary to accurately compute the transport rates. For the computation of longshore transport rates, a number of models is available, for example the TRANSPOR model by Van Rijn [1993]. In most of...
