Overview

The study was a joint SCG Ltd. and Hydro-Fax Resources Ltd. geologic and hydrodynamic evaluation of the Kiskatinaw Formation.  The study provides a detailed, internally consistent stratigraphic, depositional, diagenetic and hydrodynamic evaluation of each cycle within the Kiskatinaw Formation.  Prospective exploration areas are high-graded for porosity and play type development, as well as to evaluate the plumbing of hydrocarbons throughout the system.

The study encompasses an area from Township 70 to 86, between Ranges 1W6 and 21W6 (over 290 townships).  At the time of the study 1246 wells penetrated the Kiskatinaw in the study area, all of which are designated as study wells, and 202 wells with cored intervals were logged at the AEUB Core Research Centre.
