The Glauconitic formation is a Cretaceous age sandstone reservoir located across a large area of central Alberta, Canada. Discovered in the late 1970's, hydraulically fractured vertical wells could produce commercial volumes of natural gas from some of the higher permeability conventional sands. However, wide spread development of the majority of the tight gas sands was not economic with vertical wells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
