Upper Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous lithofacies, detrital petrology and diagenesis of the Louisbourg J-47 well, Scotian Shelf / G. Pe-Piper ... [et al.].: M183-2/6693E-PDF

This Open File is one of a series on detrital and diagenetic mineralogy of the Lower Cretaceous rocks of the Scotian basin resulting from a collaborative program initiated in 2001 between Saint Mary's University and the Geological Survey of Canada. This report provides the results of a study of detrital mineralogy and geochemistry from Lower Cretaceous rocks of the Louisbourg J-47 well, one of the more distal wells on the eastern Scotian Shelf. Analyses from this well contribute to a growing database on the provenance of different parts of the Scotian basin. An understanding of provenance is an exploration tool for major sandstone distribution. Detrital minerals play an important role in influencing diagenesis and hence reservoir quality.
