In exploring the subsurface, maps serve a number of important purposes; recording and storing information; supporting the analysis of a range of subsurface data; and presenting and communicating information and understanding. Map creation should be a core competency of every geoscientist, used to express complex situations to help support difficult decisions. Our consultants can help E&P companies define and implement appropriate mapping standards that will help geoscientists present a clear, consistent and concise suite of maps for a variety of purposes where having defined mapping standards has enabled the geoscientists to spend more of their time focusing on the technical content. Petrosys is a powerful sub-surface mapping system that brings all your critical knowledge together on one mapping canvas, our approach to surface modeling enables you to resolve complex challenges and to communicate geological information necessary for decision makers to take the right action.

  • The Cambrian Explosion: a Big Bang in the Evolution of Animals
    The Cambrian Explosion A Big Bang in the Evolution of Animals Very suddenly, and at about the same horizon the world over, life showed up in the rocks with a bang. For most of Earth’s early history, there simply was no fossil record. Only recently have we come to discover otherwise: Life is virtually as old as the planet itself, and even the most ancient sedimentary rocks have yielded fossilized remains of primitive forms of life. NILES ELDREDGE, LIFE PULSE, EPISODES FROM THE STORY OF THE FOSSIL RECORD The Cambrian Explosion: A Big Bang in the Evolution of Animals Our home planet coalesced into a sphere about four-and-a-half-billion years ago, acquired water and carbon about four billion years ago, and less than a billion years later, according to microscopic fossils, organic cells began to show up in that inert matter. Single-celled life had begun. Single cells dominated life on the planet for billions of years before multicellular animals appeared. Fossils from 635,000 million years ago reveal fats that today are only produced by sponges. These biomarkers may be the earliest evidence of multi-cellular animals. Soon after we can see the shadowy impressions of more complex fans and jellies and things with no names that show that animal life was in an experimental phase (called the Ediacran period). Then suddenly, in the relatively short span of about twenty million years (given the usual pace of geologic time), life exploded in a radiation of abundance and diversity that contained the body plans of almost all the animals we know today.

    GEOLOGY OF THE MOUNT BRUSSILOF MAGNESITE DEPOSIT, SOUTHEASTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA (825/12, 13) By George J. Simandl and Kirk D. Hancock KEYWOKLIS: Industrial minerals, rconomic geology. mag- nesitr. Cathedral Formation. Middle Cambrian. dolumitiz- tion, porosity. base metal association, deposit model. INTRODUCTION Magnesite (M&O,) is an induswial mineral that can bc converted into either caustic, fused or dead-burned magne- sia. Dead-burned magnesia is used mainly in the manufac- ture of refractory products; caustic magnesia is used in treatment of water, in animal feedstuffs, fertilizers. magne- sia cements, insulating boards and wood-pulp processing, in chemicals and pharmaceuticals and us a curing agent in rubber (Coope. 19X7). Magnesium metal is produced either from magnesite or from caustic mapnesia. In the short-term future. production of dead-burned mag- nesia is cxpectcd to remain constant. however, demand for caustic magnesia is increasing (Duncan, IYYO). With the increasing trend toward the use of high-perfomxmce “mag- carbon” refractories. future demand for fused magnesia looks promising. A number of magnesite deposits are known in British Columbia (Grzant, 19X7). the most important of these is the Mount Brussilof orebody. It is hosted by dolomites of the TECTONIC SETTING Middle Cambrian Cathedral Formation. The Mount Brussilof deposit is located in the Forekm3 rectonostratiEnlphic belt and within the “Kicking Horse HISTORY Rim”, as defined by Aitken (1971, 1989). It is situated east of a Cambrian bathymetric feature commonly referred to as The Mount Brussilof deposit was discovered during the Cathedral escarpment (Fritz. 1990: Aitken xnd regional mapping by the Geological Survey of Canada Mcllreath, 19X4, 1990).

  • Pore-Scale Variability and Fluid Distributions in Montney Formation: New Insights from Three-Dimensional Reservoir Characterization and Modeling Sochi C
    Pore-scale variability and fluid distributions in Montney Formation: New insights from three-dimensional reservoir characterization and modeling Sochi C. Iwuoha, Per K. Pedersen, and Christopher R. Clarkson Tight Oil Consortium, Department of Geoscience, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada Fig.1 Montney Formation extent in Alberta and northeastern British Columbia Summary In the Triassic Montney Montney Formation in Alberta and British Columbia (Fig. 1 and 2), different fluids are produced (oil, gas condensate, dry gas). This study focuses on a Montney producing area in west central Alberta (Fig. 1) where thermal maturity and depth data are inconsistent with the production of different fluids. This evaluation reviews the potential control of pore size on fluid distributions in the study area. Our workflow utilizes well logs, core data and three-dimensional (3D) geological modeling techniques to map facies, petrophysical properties and pore size distribution in the study area. Our results show that gas and condensate producing areas have mean dominant pore throat sizes of 20 - 30nm with a wider range of pore size distribution (up to 55nm) occurring in the condensate producing area. The mainly oil producing area shows a lower mean dominant pore size of 10 - 20nm with a marked Fig. 2. Montney Formation and some overlying increase in siltstone and shale heterolithics eastwards. Although porosities in Cretaceous and Jurassic stratigraphy in the study area TVDSS GR RHOB the oil trend are relatively higher (mean ~4.5%) than those within the gas and 0 200 1.95 2.95 Kcardium Kcard_ss condensate producing areas (mean ~3% and 4% respectively), permeabilities Kkaskapau are lower in the oil trend (mean 0.27µD) compared to the gas (0.32µD) and condensate (0.48µD) producing areas.

DOMINION PARKS BRANCH, OTTAWA, September 30, 1913. W. W. CORY, Esq., C.M.G., Deputy Minister of the Interior. SIR,—I beg to submit my second annual report as Commissioner of Dominion Parks, covering the fiscal year 1912-13. Appended to it are reports from the Chief Superintendent of Dominion Parks and from the Superintendents of the various Parks. These reports show in detail the substantial progress made during the year in the matter of development work. My own report, therefore, is confined largely to a statement concerning the purposes served by National Parks and the useful develop­ ment work that such purposes suggest. CANADA'S PARKS. Extract from an address delivered at Ottawa. March 12, 1913, by His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught, before the Canadian Association for the Pre­ vention of Tuberculosis:— ' I feel that some apology is necessary for referring to the subject on which I now desire to touch, but the fact that this is the last onuortunity I shall have for public speaking before I go to England on leave must be my excuse. Also, the subject is allied with public health, which is one more reason for me to request your indulgence. ' I desire to refer shortly to the question of your Dominion Parks.
