Groundwater flow in response to ground surface topography, erosional rebound, and hydrocarbon generation in Cretaceous strata in the Alberta Basin, Canada. Groundwater flow in response to ground surface topography, erosional rebound, and hydrocarbon generation in Cretaceous strata in the Alberta Basin, Canada. The results show the compartmentalisation of each aquifer into zones of different fluid saturation and pressure distribution, large areas being abnormally pressured.
Various mechanisms drive how in Cretaceous units in the area.
