Silurian Stratigraphic Structure Map For Saskatchewan

Silurian Structure Map is part of a series of stratigraphic framework maps for the Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems project. The maps were produced by the Government of Saskatchewan using a 2 km equi-spaced modified grid generated via kriging algorithms. The dataset was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Model subsurface structure and isopach thickness for the Silurian period using geospatial contour data.
• Correlate stratigraphic data between regional projects using validated and edited well data.
• Minimize edge effects in geological contouring by incorporating data from wells in adjacent jurisdictions.
• Analyze the framework for petroleum systems within the Phanerozoic sequence of Saskatchewan.

Strengths

• Data validated and edited to facilitate correlations between regional projects.
• Incorporates data from wells in adjacent jurisdictions to minimize contouring edge effects.
• Produced using a consistent 2 km equi-spaced modified grid methodology.

Limitations

• Specific row counts, column names, and sample data are unavailable for review.
• The dataset's creation relies on projects completed between 2003 and 2009, which may not reflect recent drilling.
