Duvernay Petroleum System Geological Atlas Polygons

Polygon features represent the Duvernay petroleum system within the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. Shapefiles were created by the Alberta Geological Survey in the mid-1990s and later edited in 2005-06 for accuracy and consolidation. This dataset is part of a reference volume documenting subsurface geology.

Use Cases

• Map the spatial extent of the Duvernay petroleum system using polygon boundaries for basin analysis.
• Analyze relationships between petroleum system polygons and other geological features from the Atlas series.
• Attribute petroleum system polygons with geological properties for resource assessment modeling.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Alberta Geological Survey.
• Polygon features were edited and corrected in 2005-06 for consistency.

Limitations

• Source digital files are archived and originate from the mid-1990s, limiting temporal recency.
• Specific row counts, column attributes, and spatial resolution details are unavailable.
