Wild River Area
Bluesky to Rock Creek Exploration/Development Assessment, West-Central Alberta
Summary:
Location: T52-61, R19-27W5
Strata: Bluesky / Rock Creek
Year of Study: 2007
Introduction
Petrel Robertson Consulting Ltd. mapped and characterized Lower Cretaceous (Bluesky / Gething / Cadomin) reservoirs in the Wild River area of west-central Alberta, with the ultimate goal of understanding existing hydrocarbon production and future exploration and development potential. This report summarizes the work, with reference to supporting information including core logs, cross-sections and maps. The study area encompasses Townships 52-61, and Ranges 19-27W5M.

THE 21st CENTURY ENERGY TRANSITION
Petrel Robertson is playing an important role as Canada and the world transition to more diverse energy sources and storage.
Oil and gas will be critical for energy and petrochemicals for decades to come. PRCL supports orderly, efficient, and environmentally responsible development of oil and gas resources. Much of our oil- and gas-related work now supports initiatives such as identifying water source and disposal opportunities for unconventional oil and gas, while ensuring protection of fresh water resources.
We are also finding opportunities to leverage our subsurface skill sets beyond oil and gas, including:
- Exploring for and developing other resources, such as minerals-rich saline brines and helium, found in deep gas reservoirs
- Characterizing saline water resources in deep aquifers to supply water for hydraulic fracturing, and to safely dispose of waste water from petroleum and other industrial processes
- Characterizing fresh water resources in shallow aquifers, as water supply for many uses, and to guard against contamination
- Mapping areas at risk from induced seismicity
- Evaluating and planning geothermal energy development
- Assessing and planning subsurface energy storage, as in caverns and fracture systems
