Lower Cretaceous Mannville Group: Isopach Map
A. Marsh and M. Love
The series of stratigraphic framework maps for the Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids 
and Petroleum Systems (SPFPS) project have been produced using 2 km equi-spaced 
modified grids generated from Golden Software’s Surfer 9 kriging algorithm. The 
dataset used to produce each of the maps in this series was created using data from 
several projects completed by the Ministry (Christopher, 2003; Saskatchewan Industry 
and Resources et al., 2004; Kreis et al., 2004; Marsh and Heinemann, 2006; 
Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources et al., 2007; Heinemann and Marsh, 
2009); these data were validated and edited as required to facilitate correlations 
between the various regional projects. In addition, to minimize edge effects during 
contouring, the senior author also generated stratigraphic data from wells in adjacent 
jurisdictions.
