The Williston Basin is a large intracratonic sedimentary basin in eastern Montana, western North Dakota, South Dakota, southern Saskatchewan, and south-western Manitoba that is known for its rich deposits of petroleum and potash. The basin is a geologic structural basin but not a topographic depression; it is transected by the Missouri River ...
The Bakken Formation (/ ˈ b ɑː k ən / BAH-kən) is a rock unit from the Late Devonian to Early Mississippian age occupying about 200,000 square miles (520,000 km 2) of the subsurface of the Williston Basin, underlying parts of Montana, North Dakota, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The formation was initially described by geologist J. W ...
The Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) [1] [2] underlies 1.4 million square kilometres (540,000 sq mi) of Western Canada including southwestern Manitoba, southern Saskatchewan, Alberta, northeastern British Columbia and the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories.
The Cypress Hills Formation is present primarily on the Cypress Hills and Swift Current plateaus in southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan. [4] [10] It is exposed on the present day erosional surface, or covered by glacial drift and loess that were deposited during and after the Wisconsin glaciation. It reaches a maximum thickness ...
In Saskatchewan, underground mining of potash is conducted to depths of about 1,100 metres (3,610 ft), and solution mining is used at greater depths. Reserves suitable for underground and solution mining have been estimated at 14 billion tonnes (15 billion short tons) and more than 42 billion tonnes (46 billion short tons), respectively.
The Ravenscrag Formation is a stratigraphic unit of early Paleocene age in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. [2] It was named for the settlement of Ravenscrag, Saskatchewan, and was first described from outcrops at Ravenscrag Butte near the Frenchman River by N.B. Davis in 1918.
