Qualitative petroleum resource assessment of the Magdalen Basin in the Gulf of St. Lawrence : Quebec, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador / E.A. Atkinson, P.W....: M183-2/8556E-PDF
"Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has been tasked, under the Marine Conservation Targets (MCT) initiative announced in Budget 2016, with evaluating the petroleum resource potential for areas identified for possible protection as part of the Government of Canada's commitment to conserve 10% of its marine areas by 2020. As part of this initiative, NRCan's Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) conducted a broad regional study of the petroleum potential over the majority of the Magdalen Basin, which is the principal geological basin in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence. To conduct this study, an extensive geophysical database was compiled, along with previous onshore geological mapping, information from petroleum industry wells, and information from the scientific literature. New geoscience work was completed, including regional mapping and basin modelling, to characterize the petroleum potential. This report provides the results of this qualitative petroleum resource assessment and regional study, and summarizes other geologic resources"--Executive summary, page 1.
