Evaluation method description:
The Edson data set was created to provide detail maps for the Edson CBM exploration block. The source of
information consisted of selected oil and gas exploration wells. The selected wells meet the following
criteria: good geographic distribution, not deviated, adequate geophysical log record (Gamma-ray,
density, Induction) and appropriate depth (Battle-Scollard-basal Paskapoo channels stratigraphic
interval). The dataset comprises 28 correlative attributes, 3 formation attributes and 5 lithological
attributes that correlate with 28 representative stratigraphic units with extensive lateral correlation,
3 stratigraphic intervals described as formations and 5 lithological categories. Most of the names of
the units are new, for instance the names of the sandstone channels. The description of the units and
the protocol used for picking the units on the geophysical logs can be found in ESR 2007-06 as
associated publication. A description of the correlative, formation and lithological attributes can also
be found in the entity and attribute section of the metadata record and in the tables
'tbl_List_of_Unit_Names', 'tbl_List_of_Formations' and ' tbl_List_of_Lithologies' respectively, within
the database itself.

Measure description:
The Edson dataset is a tabular type of data consisting of unique records (no duplicates) for each
individual well. Other characteristics: - all spatial locations were checked for uniqueness; - each
stratigraphic (formation, member and other stratigraphic sub-divisions) or lithological (sandstone,
coal, marker) pick is unique; - all attributes have been assigned values; in some circumstances when the
unit is absent the pick quality code assigned is (0); - all the attributes have well defined domains and
were found valid within the domain; - coal picks followed a strict protocol described in ESR 2007-06; -
picks are consistent with the stratigraphic model and the relative stratigraphic position (no cross-over).

Description:
The Edson block dataset represents a new collection of stratigraphic and lithological picks
(sandstone, coal and selected markers) reflecting a new sequence stratigraphic model applied to the
fluvial succession including the Scollard Formation and the basal Paskapoo channels in the study area.
The dataset describes a detailed interpretation of the considered correlative lithological units
(Scollard and Paskapoo individual sandstone channels, Ardley coal sub-zones and individual coal
seams, and tonstein strata considered as stratigraphic markers).
The MS Access database is structured in:
a. general well information (WID, geographic coordinates, Kb, etc.);
b. stratigraphic and lithological picks (depth values and associated attributes);
c. reference tables that describe the attribute data;
The picks have depth values of tops and of bases for each stratigraphic and lithological unit. The
depth values resulted from the interpretation of Gamma-ray, density, induction and calliper
geophysical log records. Criteria applied to the well log selection were: the presence of the
Gamma-ray -density-induction combination of geophysical logs and the appropiate depth. The picks
were compared with the core observations. The picks were recorded manually into the MS Access
database. The errors were identified by running simple statistical methods and during the mapping
process. The correction of the errors was made by checking the anomalous values against the log
signature.
The data set was processed by queries to extract the desired information for mapping.
