Hudson Bay, Hudson Strait, Moose River, and Foxe basins : synthesis of the research activities under the Geomapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) programs 2008-2018 / D. Lavoie [and 23 others].: M183-2/8507E-PDF

"The Hudson Bay Basin is the largest intracratonic basin in North America but also the least known from a geological point of view and the only one without hydrocarbon production and reserves. The Hudson Bay Basin, in north-central Canada, is bounded by smaller satellite basins, Moose River Basin to the south and Foxe and Hudson Strait basins to the north. It was explored for hydrocarbons from the late 1960’s to the mid 1980’s. However, after the drilling of five offshore wells, the industry stopped exploration programs as the basin was considered to be thermally immature with a too thin succession and problematic source rock distribution. As part of its new Geomapping for Energy and Minerals program, the Geological Survey of Canada included the Hudson Bay Basin in its research portfolio with the goal to generate a modern understanding of the geological framework of the basin and a precise knowledge of its hydrocarbon systems"--Abstract, page 6.
