This proposal outlines two related sub-surface studies of the Bluesky Formation in the area of Tsp. 81 to 84 Rge. 14 to 18w5m, (approximately 45 x 30 km) in northwest Alberta. The aims of the studies are to establish detailed ichnological, sedimentologic and stratigraphic frameworks for the Bluesky Formation and put forward a model for the distribution of reservoir and non-reservoir units within the study area. The proposed studies are: (1) an MSc project that focuses on a 10 km x 20 km subset that is aimed at establishing a detailed classification of the ichnology and sedimentology, and maps the distribution of reservoir therein; and, (2) a PhD project that is focused on the sequence stratigraphy of the larger (sub-regional) study area, considers sediment distribution in the context of the sedimentary environment, sediment sources, and contributes to the regional geological understanding of the Bluesky. For both projects, the dataset will consist of well-logs and core descriptions. Reservoir quality will be assessed on the basis of oil saturation and through microscopic analysis that will include thin-section microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The data will be integrated in the software Petrel, so that spatial relationships can be observed and interpreted.

该建议概述了Tsp地区蓝天组的两个相关的地下研究。81至84 Rge. 14至18 w5米，（约45 x 30公里），位于阿尔伯塔西北部。研究的目的是建立详细的Bluesky组遗迹学、沉积学和地层学框架，并提出研究区储层和非储层单元分布模型。拟议的研究包括：（1）一个侧重于10 km x 20 km子集的硕士项目，旨在建立遗迹学和沉积学的详细分类，并绘制其中的储层分布图;以及，（2）一个博士项目，重点是对较大的层序地层学（分区域）研究区，考虑沉积环境背景下的沉积物分布，沉积物来源，有助于对蓝天的区域地质认识。对于这两个项目，数据集将包括测井曲线和岩心描述。将根据含油饱和度并通过显微镜分析（包括薄片显微镜和扫描电子显微镜）对储层质量进行评估。这些数据将被纳入软件Petrel，以便观察和解释空间关系。
