Wabamun Formation
The Wabamun Formation is a stratigraphic unit of Late Devonian (Famennian) age in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. It takes the name from Wabamun Lake and was first described in the ''Anglo Canadian Wabamun Lake No. 1'' well (located between the Wabamun Lake and the North Saskatchewan River) by Imperial Oil in 1950. Lithology The Wabamun Formation is composed of dolomitic limestone and calcareous dolomite with anhydrite interbeds. Halite and anhydrite are present at the base of the formation in the Stettler region. It is composed entirely of limestone in north-western Alberta. Secondary pyrite is found at the top of the formation. Hydrocarbon potential The Wabamun Formation had an initial established recoverable oil reserve of 7.2 million m³, with 3.2 million m³ already produced as of 2008. Gas reserves totaled 102.8 million m³, with 53.5 million m³ already produced. Distribution The Wabamun Formation reaches a maximum thickness of in the sub-surface of central Albe ...
