The McMurray/Wabiskaw Oil Sands Deposit, Athabasca Oil Sands Area, northern Alberta, Canada: Electronic database for resource characterization

Conference Wynne, D A ; Wightman, D M ; Attalla, M

The McMurray/Wabiskaw stratigraphic interval contains approximately 142 x 10{sup 9} m{sup 3} of bitumen in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area, northeastern Alberta. A regional mapping project has established a sequence stratigraphic framework and documented the bitumen, gas, and water resources, for this interval. These data have been organized in an electronic database to facilitate mapping and data management. The database contains stratigraphic picks and well log analyses for about 2200 wells. Well log analyses were calibrated to core analyses as about one-third of the wells were cored in this stratigraphic interval. Well log analyses, calculated for each 0.25 m ofmore »« less

Conference Glenday, K S ; Lenox, T R - Am. Assoc. Pet. Geol., Bull.; (United States)

In September 1979, Gulf Canada Resources Inc. and the Alberta Oil Sands Technology and Research Authority entered into an agreement to determine the technical, economic and environmental feasibility of recovering bitumen from oil sands utilizing a system of horizontal wells and a steam recovery process. Two methods of access to the bitumen-bearing formation were to be considered: wells drilled from the surface and whipstocked to the horizontal, and wells drilled from tunnels located either above, within, or below the pay zone. It is believed that a horizontal well system is more cost effective, will have better recoveries, and have lessmore »« less
Reservoir characterization for Chevron's HASDrive field trial, Athabasca oil sands area, northeastern Alberta, Canada

Conference Chalcraft, R G ; Grant, C W - AAPG Bulletin (American Association of Petroleum Geologists); (USA)

Chevron is currently field testing an in-situ thermal recovery process termed Heated Annulus SteamDrive (HASDrive) on the Lower Cretaceous Athabasca tar sand deposit at the Alberta Oil Sands Technology Research Authority (AOSTRA) Underground Test Facility (UTF) site. The HASDrive process applies heat through a subsurface horizontal pipe to the base of the bitumen-rich reservoir sands of the McMurray Formation. A vertical steam-injection well aids in mobilization of the heavy crude and sweeps hydrocarbons toward a horizontal subsurface producing well. To evaluate the HASDrive technology, a geologic model was developed to predict the distribution and geometry of reservoir sands and interveningmore »« less
Trace fossils from the Athabasca oil sands, Alberta, Canada

Journal Article Pemberton, S G ; Flach, P D ; Mossop, G D - Science (Washington, D.C.); (United States)

A diverse and well-preserved ichnofossil suite has been identified from surface exposures of the middle and upper parts of the Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation. The suite, consisting of representatives of at least ten ichnogenera, is one of the few clues to the original biotic component of the deposit. The distribution and abundance of these biogenic structures present strong evidence that the deep channel complex in which the sediments were deposited was closely associated with a nearby marine shoreline.
