| Abstract | The Cardium Formation in the Carrot Creek area (off the NW tip of the Pembina Pool) has been the subject of increasing interest in the last few years as horizontal drilling and completion technology continues to improve. The lower permeability sandstone reservoir facies, which until recently has been bypassed, has become more economically viable due to new horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques. This study focuses on Township 52, Range 13 west of the 5 meridian. Here, the Cardium Formation is composed of conglomerates, sandstones, interbedded sandstones and shales, and mudstones/shales. The well-described Carrot Creek conglomerate lobes are the focus of almost all prior research in the area, including the work by Bergman and Walker (1986 and 1987). Characterization of the lower sandstone part of the reservoir is incomplete, as it was formerly not of economic interest. |
