ABOUT CANSTRAT

WHO WE ARE

First established in 1949 as Canadian Stratigraphic Service Ltd., we were a subsidiary of American Stratigraphic Company (Amstrat) of Denver, Colorado.

The name changed to Canadian Stratigraphic Services (2000) Ltd. and as of January 1, 2005, is a subsidiary of Sigma Explorations Inc., a seismic data service company and a privately owned Canadian corporation.

We continue to provide Lithological Information to the Canadian and American Petroleum Industries from our office in Calgary.

Canstrat was an industry pioneer and continues to be the leader in the field of Stratigraphic Lithology. We are the only source of information of this type in Canada.

Canstrat has been logging samples in all areas of Canada since 1949. We have over 15,000 Canadian and 20,000 American logs available for purchase.

WHAT WE DO

We provide a strip log format of the subsurface lithologies from wells throughout Western Canada and the Continental United States; and the Frontier Areas - Offshore East Coast Mackenzie Delta, Northwest Territories, Arctic Islands, Alaska and the West Coast

Canstrat Logs have been created from detailed  microscopic examinations of drill cuttings as well as core.  Rock types, accessory compositions, oil staining, diagenetic alterations and porosities are among the rock properties reported. Electric log curves are also shown for convenient correlation to the lithology

Western Basin logs are available in either black and white or coloured.  Frontier area  logs are available only in colour.

Digital Files: Over 90% of our lithological files have been converted to a digital format. Our Data is compiled in a flat ASCII format and can easily be adapted to run with your current geological software.
