Sedimentological and ichnological analysis of the cretaceous Bluesky formation (Alberta) to better understand the depositional environment(s) and stratigraphy of the interval

该提案概述了关于总悬浮颗粒地区蓝天地层的两项相关次表层研究。81至84 Rge。14到18w5米，(约45x30公里)在艾伯塔省西北部。研究的目的是为蓝天组建立详细的生物、沉积学和地层格架，并提出研究区内储层和非储层单元的分布模式。建议的研究是：(1)一个以10千米×20千米子集为重点的理科硕士项目，旨在建立一个详细的生物学和沉积学分类，并绘制其中的储集层分布图；(2)一个博士项目，侧重于更大的(次区域)研究区域的层序地层学，在沉积环境、沉积物来源的背景下考虑沉积物的分布，并有助于对蓝天的区域地质理解。对于这两个项目，数据集将由测井记录和岩心描述组成。储集层质量将根据含油饱和度并通过包括薄片显微镜和扫描电子显微镜在内的微观分析进行评估。这些数据将被整合到软件Petrel中，这样就可以观察和解释空间关系。

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.
