Stettler Oilfield Emerges as Major Alberta Producer
The Stettler field, producing from the chevronian limestone in D2 and D3 zones about 5,200 feet down, shows initial wells yielding 1,400 to 1,800 barrels daily from D2 and D3 with follow‑ups reaching 2,000 barrels. Gulf officials peg reserves at 100,000,000 barrels, while others cite up to 150,000,000.
