Detrital petrology and mineralogy of the cored intervals of Lower Cretaceous sedimentary rocks in the Esperanto K-78, Hesper I-92, and South Griffin J-13 wells, Scotian Shelf / G. Pe-Piper ... [et al.].: M183-2/6821E-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. The report provides the results of a study of the sedimentology and sedimentary petrography of Lower Cretaceous rocks in conventional core from three wells in the eastern part of the Scotian Basin. It contributes to a growing database on the provenance of the deltaic sediments in the Scotian Basin that host most of the gas reserves. An understanding of provenance is an exploration tool for major sandstone distribution and detrital minerals play an important role in influencing diagenesis and hence reservoir quality.
