This proposal outlines two related sub-surface studies of the Bluesky Formation in the area of Tsp. 81 to 84 Rge. 14 to 18w5m, (approximately 45 x 30 km) in northwest Alberta. The aims of the studies are to establish detailed ichnological, sedimentologic and stratigraphic frameworks for the Bluesky Formation and put forward a model for the distribution of reservoir and non-reservoir units within the study area. The proposed studies are: (1) an MSc project that focuses on a 10 km x 20 km subset that is aimed at establishing a detailed classification of the ichnology and sedimentology, and maps the distribution of reservoir therein; and, (2) a PhD project that is focused on the sequence stratigraphy of the larger (sub-regional) study area, considers sediment distribution in the context of the sedimentary environment, sediment sources, and contributes to the regional geological understanding of the Bluesky. For both projects, the dataset will consist of well-logs and core descriptions. Reservoir quality will be assessed on the basis of oil saturation and through microscopic analysis that will include thin-section microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The data will be integrated in the software Petrel, so that spatial relationships can be observed and interpreted.

该提案概述了 Tsp 地区 Bluesky 地层的两项相关地下研究。 81 至 84 范围。 14 至 18w5m，（约 45 x 30 公里），位于艾伯塔省西北部。研究的目的是建立 Bluesky 组详细的地质学、沉积学和地层框架，并提出研究区域内储层和非储层单元的分布模型。拟议的研究是：（1）一个理学硕士项目，重点关注10公里×20公里的子集，旨在建立地质学和沉积学的详细分类，并绘制其中储层的分布图； (2) 一个博士项目，重点关注较大（次区域）研究区域的层序地层学，考虑沉积环境、沉积物来源背景下的沉积物分布，并有助于对蓝天地区的区域地质认识。对于这两个项目，数据集将由测井曲线和岩心描述组成。储层质量将根据含油饱和度并通过包括薄片显微镜和扫描电子显微镜在内的微观分析进行评估。这些数据将集成到Petrel软件中，以便观察和解释空间关系。
