The palynostratigraphy, age, and environment of strata penetrated by the Mallik 5L-38 gas-hydrate research well, Northwest Territories, determined by differentiating the recycled and contemporaneous palynomorphs...: M42-604/2015E-PDF
The purpose of this study is to refine the geological understanding of the rocks in the Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin, and so contribute to understanding the stratigraphy, paleoenvironment, paleoclimate, and timing of hydrocarbon generation in the region. The data and interpretation herein are an analysis of the pollen and spores found in rock samples from the Mallik 5L-38 gas hydrate research well in the Mackenzie River delta, filling gaps and complimenting the analysis of the adjacent Mallik 2L-38 well. Both wells yielded better quality samples of rock than is available from industrial wells because they were drilled with chilled mud to reduce well-bore caving, cores were cut, and they had close sample intervals for drill-bit cuttings.
