Abstract

This grid represents the distribution of hydraulic head in the Exshaw–Banff hydrostratigraphic unit (HSU). It is a result of a geostatistical model which was constructed using publicly available pressure data from drillstem tests (DST) from oil and gas wells.

The hydraulic head surface was mapped at a regional scale using many years of data, thus providing a good indication of regional groundwater flow within the unit rather than site-specific values.
