GEOSCIENCE OVERVIEW
Conceptual Stratigraphic Framework
• 2003 EUB Regional
Conceptual Framework
works well for Leismer Area

• McMurray Formation
characterized by large scale
“C” point bars; “A” and “B”
regional sequences; variably
eroded by Middle and Upper
McMurray channels of
varying thickness and extent

• “SAGD-able” reservoir
Modified From EUB, 2003a
hosted primarily within
McMurray “A” or “B”
equivalent channels
