Chemical fingerprinting of detrital minerals in the Upper Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous sandstones, Scotian Basin / G. Pe-Piper ... [et al.].: M183-2/6288E-PDF

This Open File provides the results of a study of detrital mineralogy in Upper Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous rocks from 26 wells in the Scotian Basin. It provides a database for understanding the provenance of sandstones in different parts of the Scotian Basin, which can be used as an exploration tool for sandstone reservoir distribution. Detrital minerals play an important role in influencing diagenesis and hence reservoir quality.
