Abstract:
For the purpose of this discussion the Pincher Creek area is considered as a geologic sub-province having a somewhat unique orogenic history. Certain sedimentary facies including the reservoir rock were probably subject to orogenic control.
The Pincher Creek field itself is a structural trap involving biostromal Mississippian strata. Ancestral accumulation may have been controlled by the westward pinch-out of the biostrom. A study of the orogenic history explains to some extent the coincidence this facies change has with the outer edge of the foothills.
The absence of foothills in the area may be merely the end result of a series of events and not due to greater age or exceptional conditions of erosion.
