Abstract
A sequence stratigraphic framework was established to map the distribution of the type offshore to lower shoreface Cardium reservoirs of the developing halo play fairway west of the Pembina Pool. Cross-sections and maps reveal a series of fifth order sequences imbricated westward towards and within the Pembina Pool, which form part of a third order highstand to falling stage systems tract. Reservoir facies within the halo-play include; moderately bioturbated muddy sandstones, interbedded sandstones and mudstones, and hummocky cross stratified sandstones. Routine core analysis was complemented by full diameter core CT scanning, MICP pore throat characterization, thin sections to characterize these unconventional type light oil reservoirs. Cross-plots and maps show that the best reservoir fairway occurs just west of the historic western boundary of the Pembina Pool.
