Saskatchewan Stratigraphic Correlation Chart | Table of Formations Map

The Saskatchewan Stratigraphic Correlation Chart (Table of Formations) is a definitive, highly technical geological resource designed for petroleum geologists, reservoir engineers, subsurface land managers, and GIS analysts. This comprehensive reference map delivers a detailed spatial and chronological correlation of subsurface strata across the province, making it an essential tool for oil, gas, and mineral exploration pre-planning.

Key Features & Geological Data Included:

• Four-Quadrant Regional Breakdowns: Features side-by-side stratigraphic columns explicitly dividing the province into four distinct geographic areas separated along latitude 52°N and longitude 106°W: Southwest, Southeast, West-Central, and East-Central Saskatchewan.

• Complete Geochronological Range: Full coverage across major geological timelines, precisely detailing Precambrian, Paleozoic (Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous/Mississippian, Pennsylvanian, Permian), Mesozoic (Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous), and Cenozoic (Tertiary, Quaternary) intervals.

• Detailed Core Hydrocarbon Groups: Maps key production targets, source rocks, and intervals, including the extensive Colorado Group (First White Speckled Shale, Niobrara, Carlile, Second White Specks, Belle Fourche, Fish Scales, Westgate, Viking, Joli Fou, Pense) and the Mannville Group (Cantuar, Atlas, Dimmock Creek, Spinney Hill).

• Mesozoic & Jurassic Sequences: Outlines complex oil and gas horizons such as the Vanguard Group (Success, Masefield, Roseray, Rush Lake, Rierdon), Shaunavon, Gravelbourg, Red Jacket, and Upper/Lower Watrous formations.

• Deep Paleozoic & Carbonate Target Systems: Details vital regional sub-surface networks including the Madison Group (Poplar, Ratcliffe, Midale, Frobisher, Alida, Tilston, Lodgepole, Souris Valley) , the oil-bearing Bakken and Three Forks Group (Torquay) , as well as deep Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Elk Point Groups (Birdbear, Duperow, Souris River, Dawson Bay, Prairie Evaporite, Winnipegosis).

• Basement Lithology Keys: Includes distinct visual indicators mapping out sandstone, shale, carbonate, evaporite, red beds, and kimberlite distributions alongside oil, gas, and mining indicators.
