摘要

Oil sands in Western Canada are concentrated along structurally updip portions of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB). This basin forms the major portion of a large foredeep extending over a thousand miles from the southeastern portion of Yukon into Montana and North Dakota in the northern U.S. As shown in Fig. 3.1, most of the basin, as defined by its fill, lies in Alberta and Saskatchewan, with the deepest part adjacent to the thrust front in southeastern Alberta. A regional cross section through the basin (Fig. 3.1, lower part) indicates that subsidence developed in Paleozoic platform deposits and the resulting depression was filled mainly by Cretaceous sediments. Earliest development of the foredeep took place in the Mid-Late Jurassic, with initial formation of the Rocky Mountain thrust-fold system. Bitumen-bearing deposits are present in areas along the eastern margin of the basin, where the relevant reservoirs outcrop, or exist at shallow depths (< 1,000 m), as well as in structurally uplifted areas associated with the Peace River Arch (Fig. 3.2). Volumetri-cally, the largest oil sands deposits occur where the foreland basin fill is less than 600 m thick.
