How parcels are matched: a parcel counts when (1) its rights, as worded in the Crown's offering notice, include the Montney Formation. Rights are placed on the Crown's stratigraphic zone order, so “below the base of the Doig to basement” includes the Montney while “surface to the top of the Montney” does not. And (2) it lies inside the Alberta Geological Survey's evaluated area for the Montney (AER/AGS Digital Dataset 2013-0024). Most parcels are sold surface to basement, so these are parcels that convey Montney rights, not necessarily parcels bought for the Montney.
