These properties are important for characterization of the overburden zones above in-situ oil-sands mines and for assessment of caprock integrity in steam-assisted-gravity-drainage (SAGD) projects. In general, caprock-integrity assessments include caprock geological studies, in-situ stress determination, constitutive-property characterization, and numerical simulations, which allow operators to ensure that steam-injection pressure does not cause any risk to the confinement of steam chambers. The aim of this study is to identify and provide the representative parameters that can enhance understanding of the geotechnical behaviour of the Alberta Clearwater formation clay shale. Moreover, it illustrates how the results can be used to extract constitutive model parameters for modelling the behaviour of this class of material. The parameters are also used for complex reservoir-geomechanical simulation for caprock integrity. These parameters are also compared with other Cretaceous clay-shale counterparts in North America. 6 Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology 54 ARTICULO Zadeh, Nadia Shafie 55161 Chalaturnyk, Rick 55162 189452 189452 0 0 0 0 257271 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-06 200061688 0 200061688 2026-03-06 00:19:38 2026-03-06 ARTICULO
