	Abstract	Although the Tertiary Paskapoo aquifer system is the most important 
			groundwater supply in Alberta and has been under increasing development 
			pressure since 1970s, little public information is available with respect 
			to the regional aquifer characteristics and the sustainable groundwater 
			yield of the system. To study the groundwater storage capacity and its 
			spatial variation, digital borehole geophysical logs, such as the gamma-ray 
			(GR) and sonic (DT) logs, collected by the oil industry for the identification 
			and characterization of petroleum reservoirs, were used to estimate sand content 
			and aquifer porosity of the system in this study. A total of 220 oil industry wells, 
			covering a large portion of the system mostly in south Alberta, were selected. 
			This open file report provides a regional overview of the study and presents some 
			of the aquifer parameters within the Paskapoo aquifer system.
