Description of cores taken from the Muskwa Formation and minimum principal stress calculations based on well bore stimulations performed in the Muskwa and adjacent formations were generated by Graham Davies Geological Consultants Ltd. and Canadian Discovery Ltd. The intention was to integrate the findings of the core description with the stress data and structural mapping in order to create a Stress-Rock Properties Integration Map. Key goals of this study were the identification of the nature, distribution and quantity of natural fractures within the Muskwa.
