The discovery well of the Wild Goose gas field was drilled and completed in 1951 on a structure located by a reflection seismograph survey conducted in 1950. An additional seismograph survey was made subsequent to discovery to define the structure better for further development. The illustrations include two seismic cross sections, a contour map based on the original seismic reflection data, an aeromagnetic map, a structure contour map, and an electric log of the discovery well. The producing sands are in an interval between the Forbes shale of Upper Cretaceous age and the overlying Capay shale of Eocene age.

We processed, interpreted, and analyzed experimental time-lapse converted-wave 2D-seismic reflection data that were acquired across a bitumen field undergoing cyclical steam injection and production at Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada. The purpose was to assess whether multicomponent-seismic data could be used to detect lateral and/or temporal changes caused by steam injection into the reservoir. We interpreted horizons on PP and PS sections that bracket the reservoir, and calculated [Formula: see text] over this interval. Away from the steam injection wells, [Formula: see text] values average [Formula: see text] during steaming and production and are close to the theoretically predicted value of 2.21 for a cold reservoir. Near the wells, [Formula: see text] is lower during steam injection than during production, averaging [Formula: see text], and the lowest values are observed close to the injection wells. We attributed the changes in [Formula: see text] to changes in the reservoir caused by the injection of steam.
