Diagrammatic representation of the flow of formation waters in the Upper Devonian-Lower Cretaceous strata in the southeastern part of the Alberta basin. The flow is mainly northward along the drain created by weathered Devonian carbonates that subcrop below the Cretaceous Mannville Group strata and by the paleokarsted Grosmont aquifer (shaded area). Recharge by connate waters occurs mainly from the southwest and west, updip along aquifer bedding, and through local breaching of the Ireton aquitard by underlying reefs of the Cooking Lake-Leduc aquifer system. Recharge by fresh meteoric water probably occurs at the outcrop of Devonian and Mississippian aquifers further to the south at the Big Snowy anticlinorium in Montana and downdip from the northeast in the Lower Mannville aquifer. A zone of mixing exists at the sub-Cretaceous unconformity at the confluence of deep brines of connate origin and of fresh meteoric water (approximate location indicated by hatched area).

Introduction The Grosmont Formation is an Upper Devonian carbonate succession that is present in northeastern Alberta. It contains 318 billion barrels of bitumen on the basis of Alberta government estimates (Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board, 1996). Figure 1 is a map of the interpreted bitumen resource on the basis of Energy Resources Conservation Board mapping. This map also shows the location of Laricina Energy’s Saleski land block in the heart of the bitumen accumulation. During the winters of 2006–2007 and 2007–2008, Laricina Energy drilled 21 vertical wells for the purposes of bitumen resource delineation. In addition, one horizontal well was drilled as part of a proposed steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) pilot. The Grosmont Formation is a 120-m thick carbonate succession that is sandwiched between shales of the Upper and Lower Ireton Formation within the Woodbend Group. It has been subdivided chronologically into the A, B, C, and D units. These subdivisions correspond to Cutler’s (1983) units LG, G1, G2, and G3, respectively. The lowermost three units were deposited during shallowing-upward depositional cycles. The uppermost unit, the Grosmont D, is an aggradational depositional unit. Grosmont strata dip gently to the southwest. The Grosmont has been bevelled by erosion in an easterly direction.
