Abstract
The Carrot Creek field, of Alberta, Canada produces oil from sandstones and conglomerates of the Cardium formation, which is of Upper Cretaceous (Turonian) age. A strong impedance contrast between the conglomerates and surrounding shales has made it a successful target for seismic exploration, as a purely stratigraphic play.
