Normandville Carbonate Thickness Map for Devonian Wabamun Group

Mid-1990s to 2006 GIS polygon data depicts the thickness of the Normandville Carbonate formation within the Devonian Wabamun Group in Western Canada. The dataset was created by the Alberta Geological Survey, digitally archived, and later edited for correction and consolidation. It represents Figure 17 from Chapter 13 of the Geological Atlas of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.

Use Cases

• Analyze carbonate thickness (isopach) polygon features to identify potential hydrocarbon reservoir zones.
• Map the spatial distribution of the Normandville Carbonate formation to understand regional sedimentary patterns.
• Integrate this geospatial layer with other subsurface data to model the Devonian Wabamun Group's geology.

Strengths

• Data represents a specific, professionally mapped geological feature (Normandville Carbonate Isopach).
• Data underwent a correction and consolidation process in 2005-06 to improve attribute accuracy.

Limitations

• Original data creation dates to the mid-1990s, which may limit alignment with modern geological models.
• Specific row counts, column details, and sample data are unavailable for assessing completeness.
• Geographic coverage is limited to the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin as presented in the Atlas.
