Duvernay Petroleum System Geospatial Features

Geological Atlas of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin includes this GIS dataset representing the Duvernay Petroleum System. Shapefiles were created by the Alberta Geological Survey from mid-1990s digital files and edited in 2005-06. The data is part of a reference volume documenting subsurface geology.

Use Cases

• Map petroleum system boundaries and migration pathways using line feature geometries.
• Analyze spatial relationships between source rocks and reservoirs using attributed geological features.
• Integrate line features with other basin-scale geological layers for regional resource assessment.

Strengths

• Data consolidated into single files by feature type for easier management.
• Edited in 2005-06 to correct and attribute the original mid-1990s files.

Limitations

• Original source data is from the mid-1990s, potentially lacking modern geological interpretations.
• Specific row counts, column details, and spatial accuracy metrics are not provided.
