Blaise Pascal, F 77455 Marne La Vallée cedex 2, France [email protected] 3 now in Fugro France [email protected] Abstract: The microstructure of oil sand samples extracted at a depth of 75 m from the estuarine Middle McMurray formation (Alberta, Canada) has been investigated by using high resolution 3D X-Ray microtomography (µCT) and Cryo Scanning Electron Microscopy (CryoSEM). µCT images evidenced some dense areas composed of highly angular grains surrounded by fluids that are separated by larger pores full of gas. 3D Image analysis provided in dense areas porosity values compatible with in-situ log data and macroscopic laboratory determinations, showing that they are representative of intact states. µCT hence provided some information on the morphology of the cracks and disturbance created by gas expansion. The CryoSEM technique, in which the sample is freeze fractured within the SEM chamber prior to observation, provided pictures in which the (frozen) bitumen clearly appears between the sand grains. No evidence of the existence of a thin connate water layer between grains and the bitumen, frequently mentioned in the literature, has been obtained. -

High-Resolution Gamma Ray Attenuation Density Measurements on Mining Exploration Drill Cores, Including Cut Cores
The following document is a pre-print version of: Ross P-S, Bourke A (2017) High-resolution gamma ray attenuation density measurements on mining exploration drill cores, including cut cores. J. Apl. Geophys. 136:262-268 High-resolution gamma ray attenuation density measurements on mining exploration drill cores, including cut cores Ross, P.-S.*, Bourke, A. Institut national de la recherche scientifique, centre Eau Terre Environnement, 490, rue de la Couronne, Québec (QC), G1K 9A9, Canada * Corresponding author, [email protected] Abstract Physical property measurements are increasingly important in mining exploration. For density determinations on rocks, one method applicable on exploration drill cores relies on gamma ray attenuation. This non- destructive method is ideal because each measurement takes only ten seconds, making it suitable for high- resolution logging. However calibration has been problematic. In this paper we present new empirical, site- specific correction equations for whole NQ and BQ cores. The corrections force back the gamma densities to the “true” values established by the immersion method. For the NQ core caliber, the density range extends to high values (massive pyrite, ~5 g/cm 3) and the correction is thought to be very robust. We also present additional empirical correction factors for cut cores which take into account the missing material. These “cut core correction factors”, which are not site-specific, were established by making gamma density measurements on truncated aluminum cylinders of various residual thicknesses. Finally we show two examples of application for the Abitibi Greenstone Belt in Canada. The gamma ray attenuation measurement system is part of a multi-sensor core logger which also determines magnetic susceptibility, geochemistry and mineralogy on rock cores, and performs line-scan imaging. -
A Ballistics Analysis of the Deep Impact Ejecta Plume: Determining Comet Tempel 1’S Gravity, Mass, and Density

In this work, we develop a first-order, three-dimensional, forward model of the ejecta plume behavior resulting from this cratering event, and then adjust the model parameters to match the flyby-spacecraft observations of the actual ejecta plume, image by image. This modeling exercise indicates Deep Impact to have been a reasonably “well-behaved” oblique impact, in which the impactor–spacecraft apparently struck a small, westward-facing slope of roughly 1/3–1/2 the size of the final crater produced (determined from initial ejecta plume geometry), and possessing an effective strength of not more than Y¯ = 1–10 kPa. The resulting ejecta plume followed well-established scaling relationships for cratering in a medium-to-high porosity target, consistent with a transient crater of not more than 85–140 m diameter, formed in not more than 250–550 s, for the case of Y¯ = 0 Pa (gravity-dominated cratering); and not less than 22–26 m diameter, formed in not less than 1–3 s, for the case of Y¯ = 10 kPa (strength-dominated cratering). -
Hyperspectral Imaging for the Characterization of Athabasca Oil Sands Core
Hyperspectral imaging for the characterization of Athabasca oil sands core by Michelle Alexandra Speta A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences University of Alberta © Michelle Alexandra Speta, 2016 Abstract The Athabasca oil sands of northeastern Alberta, Canada, are one of the largest accumulations of crude bitumen in the world. Drill core sampling is the principal method for investigating subsurface geology in the oil sands industry. Cores are logged to record sedimentological characteristics and sub-sampled for total bitumen content (TBC) determination. However, these processes are time- and labour-intensive, and in the case of TBC analysis, destructive to the core. Hyperspectral imaging is a remote sensing technique that combines reflectance spectroscopy with digital imaging. This study investigates the application of hyperspectral imaging for the characterization of Athabasca oil sands drill core with three specific objectives: 1) spectral determination of TBC in core samples, 2) visual enhancement of sedimentological features in oil-saturated sediments, and 3) automated classification of lithological units in core imagery. Two spectral models for the determination of TBC were tested on four suites of fresh core and one suite of dry core from different locations and depths in the Athabasca deposit. The models produce greyscale images that show the spatial distribution of oil saturation at a per-pixel scale (~1 mm). For all cores and both models, spectral TBC results were highly correlated with Dean- Stark data (R2 = 0.94-0.99). The margin of error in the spectral predictions for three of the fresh cores was comparable to that of Dean-Stark analysis (±1.5 wt %). -
1994: Effects of Coring on Petrophysical Measurements
EFFECTS OF CORING ON PETROPHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS. Rune M. Holt, IKU Petroleum Research and NTH Norwegian Institute of Technology, Trondheim, Norway ABSTRACT When a core sample is taken fiom great depth to the surface, it may be permanently altered by several mechanisms. This Paper focusses on possible effects of stress release on petrophysical measurables, such as porosity, permeability, acoustic velocities and compaction behaviour. The results are obtained through an experimental study, where synthetic rocks are formed under simulated in situ stress conditions, so that stress release effects can be studied in a systematic way. INTRODUCTION Core measurements provide important input data to petroleum reservoir evaluations. Uncertainties in reserve estimates and predicted production profiles may originate from uncertianties in core data. In addition to measurement errors, such uncertainty may be a result of core damage (see e.g. Santarelli and Dusseault, 199 1). By core damage we mean permanent alteration of core material so that the material is no longer representative of the rock in situ. It is important to distinguish here between core alteration, which can be repaired by reinstalling the in situ conditions, and permanent core damage. A general advice would be to perform any core measurement as close to in situ (stress, pore pressure, temperature, fluid saturation) conditions as possible. In the case of a damaged core, this does however not warrant a correct result. The focus of this Paper will be on unrepairable core damage, and where the damage is caused by a mechanical failure of the rock. We shall look briefly into mechanisms that may cause such damage, how permanent core damage may affect various petrophysical parameters, and how one may correct for or reduce such core damage. -

OCTOBER 2 0 0 6 �������������� http://www.universetoday.com �������������� TAMMY PLOTNER WITH JEFF BARBOUR 283 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1 In 1897, the world’s largest refractor (40”) debuted at the University of Chica- go’s Yerkes Observatory. Also today in 1958, NASA was established by an act of Congress. More? In 1962, the 300-foot radio telescope of the National Ra- dio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) went live at Green Bank, West Virginia. It held place as the world’s second largest radio scope until it collapsed in 1988. Tonight let’s visit with an old lunar favorite. Easily seen in binoculars, the hexagonal walled plain of Albategnius ap- pears near the terminator about one-third the way north of the south limb. Look north of Albategnius for even larger and more ancient Hipparchus giving an almost “figure 8” view in binoculars. Between Hipparchus and Albategnius to the east are mid-sized craters Halley and Hind. Note the curious ALBATEGNIUS AND HIPPARCHUS ON THE relationship between impact crater Klein on Albategnius’ southwestern wall and TERMINATOR CREDIT: ROGER WARNER that of crater Horrocks on the northeastern wall of Hipparchus. Now let’s power up and “crater hop”... Just northwest of Hipparchus’ wall are the beginnings of the Sinus Medii area. Look for the deep imprint of Seeliger - named for a Dutch astronomer. Due north of Hipparchus is Rhaeticus, and here’s where things really get interesting. If the terminator has progressed far enough, you might spot tiny Blagg and Bruce to its west, the rough location of the Surveyor 4 and Surveyor 6 landing area. -

Quien no conoce el bosque chileno, no conoce este planeta... Pablo Neruda The climate is moderate and delightful and if the country were to be cleared of forest, the warmth of ground would dissipate the moisture… The Scot Lord Thomas Cochrane commanding the Chilean navy in a letter to the Chilean independence leader Bernardo O’Higgins about the south of Chile, 1890, cited in [Bathurst, 2013] Preface When I started my PhD studies, my main intention was to contribute new knowledge about the impact of forest management practices on runoff and erosion processes. To this end, together with our Chilean colleagues, we established a network of forested catchments on the eastern slopes of the Chilean Coastal Range with water and sediment monitoring devices to quantify water and sediment fluxes associated with different forest management practices. -
View Responses of Scouts, Scout Leaders, and Scientists Who Were Scouts
ABSTRACT This study of science education in the Boy Scouts of America focused on males with Boy Scout experience. The mixed-methods study topics included: merit badge standards compared with National Science Education Standards, Scout responses to open-ended survey questions, the learning styles of Scouts, a quantitative assessment of science content knowledge acquisition using the Geology merit badge, and a qualitative analysis of interview responses of Scouts, Scout leaders, and scientists who were Scouts. The merit badge requirements of the 121 current merit badges were mapped onto the National Science Education Standards: 103 badges (85.12%) had at least one requirement meeting the National Science Education Standards. In 2007, Scouts earned 1,628,500 merit badges with at least one science requirement, including 72,279 Environmental Science merit badges. ―Camping‖ was the ―favorite thing about Scouts‖ for 54.4% of the boys who completed the survey. When combined with other outdoor activities, what 72.5% of the boys liked best about Boy Scouts involved outdoor activity. The learning styles of Scouts tend to include tactile and/or visual elements. Scouts were more global and integrated than analytical in their thinking patterns; they also had a significant intake element in their learning style. ii Earning a Geology merit badge at any location resulted in a significant gain of content knowledge; the combined treatment groups for all location types had a 9.13% gain in content knowledge. The amount of content knowledge acquired through the merit badge program varied with location; boys earning the Geology merit badge at summer camp or working as a troop with a merit badge counselor tended to acquire more geology content knowledge than boys earning the merit badge at a one-day event.
