- Duvernay Formation

- Muskwa Formation

- Montney Formation

- Combined basal Banff and Exshaw formations in southern Alberta

- North Nordegg Member

- Wilrich Member

For information on the extent and characteristics of the shale and siltstone units and the overall resource assessment approach see Energy Resources Conservation Board/Alberta Geological Survey Open File Report 2012-06.

For a detailed description of the resource assessment methodology see Alberta Energy Regulator/Alberta Geological Survey Open File Report 2013-13.
