This stratigraphic correlation chart is based on up-to-date information provided by the Geologic
Survey of Canada (GSC), the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB), the Alberta Geologic
Survey, the Saskatchewan Geologic Survey, the British Columbia Department of Energy, Mines and
Petroleum Resources, Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology, and the North Dakota Geologic
Survey. Some of the interpretations may be controversial; however, ages of formations are based on
the most widely accepted information present in the petroleum industry today. We are certain
alternative interpretations will be brought forth and we welcome these discussions as a means of
bringing together scientific information.
