REDWATER ELLERSLIE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
REDWATER DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL/GEOLOGY
The Lower Mannville Ellerslie Formation represents estuarine and fluvial depositional environments on the eastern edge of the Edmonton channel system. These clastic sequences are locally composed of interbedded channel sandstones, siltstones and shales that are marginal marine to terrestrial in origin. Many reservoir quality channel sandstones in the Redwater area exhibit a typical fining-upwards profile as they down cut into the regional pre-depositional Early Cretaceous strata. Hydrocarbons are trapped stratigraphically as reservoir sandstones pinch-out into surrounding overbank and levee deposits. The pools are connected to an active aquifer. Two horizontal locations have been proposed targeting additional reserves in the Ellerslie D Pool. The new locations will replicate the well density of the Ellerslie TT Pool to the east where well spacing has been successfully reduced to 20 acres. The implementation of a ASP tertiary flood project would realize incremental recoveries of approximately 15% (typical results).
