Abstract
Sedimentology and Reservoir Characterization of the Sparky Formation: Wainwright, Alberta
Abstract
From detailed facies analysis of 25 cores in the Wainwright area, the Sparky Formation is interpreted to consist of three stacked delta lobe cycles formed by the progradation of a shallow-water deltaic complex into the Cretaceous epicontinental Boreal Sea. Each lobe prograded further than its predecessor across a slowly subsiding low-gradient shelf. Following abandonment of the entire deltaic complex, peat-forming environments were established resulting in the development of the Sparky Coal. Four representative cores of the Sparky Formation from the Wainwright area will be exhibited.
