Mass-failure complexes on the central Beaufort Slope, offshore Northwest Territories / G.D.M. Cameron and E.L. King. : M183-2/8356E-PDF

"Hydrocarbon exploration and drilling activities in the Beaufort Sea began on the continental shelf in 1972 and continued, on and off, until 2006. Starting in 2008 companies became interested in exploring for oil and gas in waters from 100 to 1500 m on the Beaufort slope which has raised concerns about slope geohazards. The mandate for safe operations rests with the National Energy Board and was heightened with prospects of drilling in the late 2010s. Natural Resources Canada has incorporated activities in its Public Safety Geoscience Program to assess and quantify potential geohazards in the region. This report focusses on mass sediment failures occurring in slide valley complexes on the Beaufort Slope, approximately 100km north of Tuktoyaktuk, NWT"--Introduction, page 5.
