Qualitative petroleum resource assessment of the Labrador margin / J.S. Carey, T. McCartney, M.C. Hanna, C.J. Lister, R. Ferguson, and L.E. Kung.: M183-2/8535E-PDF

"This report summarizes the qualitative petroleum resource assessment of offshore Labrador. The assessment studies were undertaken in 2017 and 2018 by a team of geoscientists at the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC). Objectives were to (a) review, analyze and integrate relevant data from previous resource assessments and industry reports, existing scientific literature and available geoscience databases; (b) conduct basin analysis, interpret and map petroleum system elements and regional petroleum plays; and (c) provide qualitative summaries of the conventional energy resource potential in the study area. The study area spans the Labrador Margin from the shoreline to the 200 nautical mile limit where water depths can exceed 3000 m, an area of approximately 425,000 km². The study area extends from 53˚N to 61˚N, which is approximately between the Cartwright Arch and Hudson Strait; this includes all of the Hopedale Basin and the southern (Labrador Margin) part of the Saglek Basin"--Introduction, page 2.
