Dans la partie la plus à l'ouest des gisements de l'Athabasca, les carbonates dévoniens des formations de Nisku et de Grosmont renferment également du bitume qui se trouve cependant à une trop grande profondeur pour pouvoir être exploité selon la technique de l'extraction à ciel ouvert. La formation de Nisku se compose de carbonates épais dolomitisés fossilifères.
