Hydrocarbon resource assessment of Nares Strait and central Ellesmere Island, Nunavut

GIS compilation of data used to perform the stacked cumulative chance of success (resource potential map) in Open file 9163. 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. The GSC resource assessment is visually represented by a qualitative petroleum potential map. Disclaimer: A simplified colored version of the map is displayed on the Web Mapping Service (WMS). The correct version is available for download through the Federal Geospatial Platform (FGP) and GEOSCAN.

Description: Title: A probability-based method to generate qualitative petroleum potential maps: adapted for and illustrated using ArcGIS -- Description: Refer to Open File 8404 (2018).This report describes a systematic, probabilistic method grounded in accepted scientific practices to infer undiscovered petroleum resources. Its primary purpose was to expedite creation of petroleum resource summary reports required to be supplied by NRCan to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) or Parks Canada (PCA) as part of their process to environmentally protect areas of Canada's marine and coastal waters. It is innovative in that it produces a spatial overlay representing relative levels of hydrocarbon discovery success with a subjective volume estimate (qualitative), rather than predicting volumes of potentially discoverable petroleum (quantitative), which is ideal, but time consuming. The method keeps results comparable when used across different geographic areas and is the current standard for qualitative-type petroleum resource assessments done by the GSC for DFO and PCA. It allows for efficient expansion into quantitative petroleum estimates, if and when needed.
