Qualitative assessment of petroleum potential in Lancaster Sound region, Nunavut / E.A. Atkinson ... [et al.].: M183-2/8297E-PDF
“The Government of Canada, through Parks Canada Agency (PCA) is proposing to establish a National Marine Conservation Area (NMCA) that includes much of Lancaster Sound in Nunavut. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has been tasked, under the Marine Conservation Targets1 (MCT) initiative announced in Budget 2016, with evaluating the petroleum resource potential for areas identified for protection as part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to conserve 10% of its marine areas by2020. As part of this initiative, PCA requested that NRCan conduct a qualitative petroleum resource assessment for an area of Lancaster Sound and surrounding areas within which a NMCA would eventually be defined. This report provides the results of the 2017 qualitative assessment conducted by NRCan’s Geological Survey of Canada’s (GSC) for the Lancaster Sound region (referred to in this report as the NMCA Study Area). The report is an extension of a 2010 Mineral and Energy Resources (MERA) resource assessment done by the GSC to inform an earlier federal boundary proposal for a potential NMCA in Lancaster Sound (OF 6954, Brent et al., 2013 publication)”--Executive summary, p. 1.
