Version 2 of the three-dimensional Provincial Geological Framework Model of Alberta 3D PGF model v2 is a 3D representation of the subsurface under km 2 of the province of Alberta, excluding parts of western Alberta affected by Cordilleran deformation.
The sixty-two zones of the model represent rock volumes at stratigraphic member, formation or group level, or a combination thereof. These new stratigraphic subdivisions improve upon the vertical resolution of version 1 of the model.
This version of the 3D PGF model is built using 1 input data points, largely from stratigraphic picks interpreted from wellbore logs across decades of geological interpretation by Alberta Geological Survey AGS geologists.
The model methodology is similar to that of the first version of the 3D PGF model, as described in the report that accompanies the model download packages. Version 1 was published in May of Integration of this large amount of geological interpretation in the form of stratigraphic picks allows for cross-validation of geological concepts at a regional scale.
The model is used to deliver geological information and convey geological understanding in a representational three-dimensional geospatial environment. Publication Type. Authored on.
