The Sag River Formation is a minor hydrocarbon reservoir in the Prudhoe Bay field, Alaska. It comprises bioturbated, glauconitic, argillaceous, quartzose fine to very fine-grained sandstone and siltstone and varies from 55 ft (17 m) to 20 ft (6 m) in thickness in the field. The formation is the upper part of a very fine-grained, upward coarsening, terrigenous, clastic-dominated sequence deposited in Late Triassic time. This sequence includes the upper part of the subjacent Shublik Formation. Lithofacies variation within the Sag River is minimal with stratigraphic thinning from the north-northeast to a south-southwest shaleout. The formation was deposited in a...
