CBM Potential of the Alberta Plains - Vitrinite Reflectance of the Ardley Coal Zone (GIS dataset)

Alberta Geological Survey created a coal and coalbed methane (CBM) database to capture and manage CBM data. The database compiles different sources and contains information on 7923 wells (15,200 formation picks, 37,357 coal picks, 495 coal analyses and 363 vitrinite reflectance measurements). From this parent dataset, individual coal zones were evaluated. This record describes the vitrinite reflectance values for the Ardley Coal Zone.
