Stratigraphic framework maps for the Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems project were produced using a 2 km equi-spaced modified grid and kriging algorithms. The Government of Saskatchewan compiled and validated data from multiple regional projects and wells in adjacent jurisdictions. This map series includes structure, isopach, and zero edge files for geological analysis.
Use Cases
- Model subsurface geological structures based on the provided structure maps.
- Analyze stratigraphic thickness and continuity using the isopach maps.
- Identify regional unconformities based on the structure and zero edge data.
- Correlate geological formations across different regional projects using the validated dataset.
Strengths
- Data was validated and edited to facilitate correlations between various regional projects.
- The maps were generated using a 2 km equi-spaced modified grid and the Surfer 9 kriging algorithm.
- Data includes wells from adjacent jurisdictions to minimize edge effects during contouring.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
