...R. J. Berven ABSTRACT The oil-producing Cardium Formation of the Crossfield-Garrington area includes two, long, narrow, en echelon sandstone bodies, extending northwesterly from Calgary for approximately 120 miles. The sandstone reaches a maximum thickness of 20 feet and lies at depths of between...
