A petroleum resource assessment of the Huron domain area, southern Ontario / Z. Chen, P. Hannigan, T.R. Carter, X. Liu, R. Crowe, and M. Obermajer.: M183-2/8784E-PDF

"The Geological Survey of Canada has quantitatively assessed oil and gas resources in self-sourced and self-retained fine-grained clastic (shale) reservoirs within the Upper Ordovician Collingwood and Rouge River members, as well as the undiscovered potential oil and gas resources in Paleozoic conventional reservoirs, incorporating data from a site formerly proposed for a Low and Intermediate deep geologic repository and regional data from southern Ontario. If these two Upper Ordovician shale units are treated as separate resource plays, both fail to meet the minimum criteria set out by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) that define a hydrocarbon resource play. When combined however, the two units can be treated as a continuous sedimentary package and, therefore, can be treated as a single resource play"--Abstract.
