<strong>HORN</strong> <strong>RIVER</strong> <strong>BASIN</strong> AQUIFER CHARACTERIZATION PROJECT<br />

CONCLUSIONS (1)<br />

• Stratigraphic analysis shows three subsurface units with aquifer potential:<br />

– Mississippian carbonate platform<br />

– Mattson Formation<br />

– Cretaceous sandstones<br />

• Best quality and most continuous reservoir in “detrital” unit capping<br />

Mississippian carbonates, particularly associated with Debolt subcrop<br />

edge (and pre‐Gething valley incision)<br />

– Very little well control in western half of HRB –is this unit more widespread?<br />

– Existing data support only semi‐quantitative reservoir quality assessment<br />

• Local Φ‐h thicks in west associated with Mattson and Chinkeh
