The Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) underlies 1.4 million square kilometres (540,000 sq mi) of Western Canada including southwestern Manitoba, southern Saskatchewan, Alberta, northeastern British Columbia and the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories. This vast sedimentary basin consists of a massive wedge of sedimentary rock extending from the Rocky Mountains in the west to the Canadian Shield in the east. This wedge is about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) thick under the Rocky Mountains, but thins to zero at its eastern margins. The WCSB contains one of the world's largest reserves of petroleum and natural gas and supplies much of the North American market, producing more than 450 million cubic metres (16 billion cubic feet) per day of gas in 2000. It also has huge reserves of c

Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin) — розташований переважно в межах Канади (провінції Альберта, Британська Колумбія, Саскачеван, Північно-західні території і Юкон) та частково в США (штат Монтана). (uk) 加拿大西部沉积盆地是一个位於加拿大西部的巨大沉積盆地，範圍包括曼尼托巴省西南部、薩斯喀徹溫省南部、艾伯塔省、不列颠哥伦比亚省东北部和西北地区的西南角。加拿大西部沉积盆地擁有世界上最大的石油和天然气储量之一，北美的大部分石油和天然氣來自於此。2000年，加拿大西部沉积盆地每天的天然气产量超过450,000,000立方米。它还拥有巨大的煤炭储量。在加拿大西部沉积盆地所包涵的的各省和地区中，艾伯塔省的石油和天然气储量最多，且加拿大西部沉积盆地几乎所有的油砂均位於艾伯塔省。 (zh) Le bassin sédimentaire de l'Ouest canadien (BSOC) est un vaste bassin sédimentaire de 1 400 000 kilomètres carrés situé dans l'Ouest du Canada, couvrant le sud-ouest du Manitoba, le sud de la Saskatchewan, l'Alberta, le nord-est de la Colombie-Britannique et le sud-ouest des Territoires du Nord-Ouest. Il forme une vaste bande de roches sédimentaires s'étendant des montagnes Rocheuses à l'ouest au Bouclier canadien à l'Est. Il atteint environ 6 km d'épaisseur près des montagnes Rocheuses, mais s'amincit pour arriver à zéro sur son bord oriental. Il contient une des plus grandes réserves mondiales de pétrole et de gaz naturel et fournit une grande partie du marché nord-américain, Sa production était de plus de 450 millions de mètres cubes de gaz par jour en 2000.
