... lenticular bodies of clean, well-stratified sandstone that were assigned to the Doe Creek, Pouce Coupe and Howard Creek members ( Fig. 2 ). Interest in these isolated, ‘shelf’ sandstone bodies rose markedly when it was discovered that some contained significant oil accumulations, the most important of which...

...Wallace-Dudley Karen; Leckie Dale ABSTRACT The Cenomanian to earliest Turonian (Cretaceous) Kaskapau Formation in northwestern Alberta and adjacent British Columbia contains three shallow-marine shelf sandstone bodies encased in shale: the Doe Creek, Pouce Coupe, and Howard Creek members...

... of marine shales. The basal transitionary zone, consisting of brackish to marine shale, silty shales, and sandstone, is included in the formation. This transition zone includes the Doe Creek and Pouce Coupe sandstone members (Warren and Stelck, 30 ). Near Pouce Coupe the zone is 300 feet thick, at Spirit...

... in ascending order are named the A–X, Doe Creek and Pouce Coupe; only the latter two are discussed here. The Doe Creek unit is a wedge that thins eastward from approximately 115 m to less than 5 m over approximately 400 km. The Doe Creek unit was deposited in a broad, very shallow embayment, open...

.... Bioturbation is extremely rare with isolated Planolites and Skolithos (BI-1). Based on core examination in the greater Pouce-Coupe Area, eight lithofacies were identified within the lower to middle members of the Montney Formation. These lithofacies are discussed below and summarized in figures 4...

... formation of the Smoky group. The Kaskapau formation at Pouce Coupé is about 1,550 feet thick. In the Pouce Coupé locality, Dunveganoceras occurs in the basal transition zone which includes two sandstone members: the Pouce Coupé and the Doe Creek. The correlation table ( Fig. 4 ) shows...

... observed on the isopach maps: (a) NW-SE trending in the Lower Mannville Group to NE-SW trending in the Upper Mannville (b) NE-SW trending in the Dunvegan Formation to NW-SE trending in the Pouce Coupe Formation, and (c) NW-SE trending in the Colorado Shale to E-W trending in the Lea Park and Belly River...

... ; Bhattacharya and Posamentier, 1994 ). In particular, the hitherto rather poorly-defined physical relationship between the Dunvegan Formation and the Doe Creek, Pouce Coupe and Howard Creek sandstone members of the Kaskapau Formation is illustrated. Fig. 5. Cross-section line 3. Major marine delta...

... of sandstone bodies that were assigned to the Doe Creek, Pouce Coupe and Howard Creek members, in ascending order. Stelck and Wall ( 1955 , their fig. 5 ), constructed a summary cross-section in which they interpreted these three sandstone bodies to represent the outer fringes of the retreating Dunvegan delta...

... Degrees from the University of Alberta: Bob Folinsbee in 1989 and Charlie Stelck in 2003. Quite the graduating class! After graduation, Charlie spent the summers working for various companies in the Peace River area and the Pouce Coupe District. He would then go back to the University of Alberta...

... the forebulge in units II and III. Beneath the Plains of northwest Alberta, the Sunkay Member contains several lenticular sandstone bodies (the Doe Creek and Pouce Coupe sandstones), some of which are economic petroleum reservoirs. These units were investigated by Wallace-Dudley and Leckie (1988 , 1993...

... seepages occur about 45 miles east of the eastern limit of the moderately folded belt, near the town of Rolla, B. C., on Pouce Coupe River. Oil has been found there seeping in small quantities from a sandstone which may be in the St. John formation, and gas-seeps are common in the vicinity. One oil-seep...

... Coupe, and Unit I units and can be correlated with the Upper Belle Fourche Formation (Allomembers B–E) ( Tyagi et al., 2007 ) ( Figs. 2 and 8 ). The Dunveganoceras ammonite zone, indicative of a late Cenomanian age, was found in the Pouce Coupe and Unit I units in northwestern Alberta ( Warren...

... of the BFSZ. Additional faults associated with the reactivation were also identified, of which the most prominent feature is the Pouce Coupe Fault. This fault is associated with a graben between the Gordondale High and the Pouce Coupe High ( Fig. 18 ). It also offset the underlying Nordegg and Montney...

... with Murray River, the Howard Creek sandstone equivalent, carrying Dunveganoceras hagei Warren and Stelck, comes in some 45 m above the Pouce Coupe sandstone equivalent, which occurs 55 m above the base of the Kaskapau Formation. This leaves some 350 m of strata without diagnostic fossil recovery...

... in September, and had eleven oil wells by the close of the year. The Pouce Coupe area , including North Pouce Coupe and Gordondale in northwest Alberta, had been the site of gas discoveries in previous years, but additional exploration drilling during 1953 has greatly expanded the known gas reserves...

A schematic stratigraphic cross section of the westward prograding clastic wedge of the Lower Triassic Montney Formation showing the location of the studied Pouce Coupe Pool within the basal part of the upper Montney, modified from Atkinson (2010) . The insert maps show the location of the cross section...

... in this paper to retain the Toad and Grayling as formations for both surface and subsurface nomenclature. Approximately 150 feet below the Toad Grayling-Halfway contact in the old Guardian well in the Pouce Coupe field, C. R.
