A regional stratigraphic and sedimentological analysis of the Lower Cretaceous series in central Alberta, embracing a region in which a number of important oil and gas discoveries were made, is presented. Structure contour, isopach and isolith maps, and stratigraphic and structural cross-sections were constructed based on subsurface core, sample, and electric logs data. The Lower Cretaceous series was subdivided over a large area, and a comprehensive nomenclature scheme is recommended. The significance and lateral persistence of each subdivision is established, and correlations recommended. Significant facies changes were determined for the various formations. Petrographic methods were applied to the analysis of the Lower Cretaceous formations and a comparison of methods as well as a statement of results was possible. Several structural trends significant to the location of oil and gas fields were determined. Rapid up regional dip porous sandstone pinch outs, found in the Joseph Lake region, are considered to be the most favorable areas for light crude production.
