While the Torok Formation was deposited on the floor of the deep basin, the younger Nanushuk Formation was deposited in shallow water and includes potential reservoirs in deltaic,
shoreface, and fluvial sandstones.
The conglomerate and sandstone lithofacies associations were deposited by channels and
shoreface processes, whereas coastal processes in delta-plain setting deposited overbank fines lithofacies association (including coal).
