Shorebirds produce a range of biogenic sedimentary structures related to their feeding behaviors, the most common of which are probing behaviors that result in morphologically simple impressions or indentations on the surface of a sedimentary substrate. Here we describe an unusual biodeformational…

Lithofacies-dependent pore-throat radii and reservoir properties in the Lower Triassic Montney Formation, Puskwaskau Field, Alberta

2021 | Chenyang Feng, Scott Melnyk, Cole Ross, Keith Shanley, John-Paul Zonneveld, Murray K. Gingras

The reservoir quality of the Lower Triassic (Induan-Olenekian) Montney Formation of the Puskwaskau Field is assessed from two cored intervals. Four lithofacies are identified in the present study: these are defined by their detailed sedimentological characteristics. Lithofacies 1 is composed of interlaminated…
