| dc.description.abstract | The Carboniferous-Permian succession of the Sverdrup Basin was studied on a basin wide scale to determine the viability of hydrocarbon systems and locally along the northwest margin focussing on stratigraphy and paleogeography. Upper Paleozoic hydrocarbon systems were found to be dominantly gas-prone and unlikely to contain significant oil resources. A potential new oil and gas play was suggested on Prince Patrick Island through source rock analysis which yielded an oil prone source. Along the northwest margin of the basin, a new stratigraphic framework was determined based on petrographic analysis of drill cuttings, detrital zircon geochronology, and 2D seismic. The margin was tectonically active during Gzhelian-Asselian with Moscovian-Artinskian strata potentially forming a continuous carbonate shelf covering the paleolandmass “Crockerland”. Kungurian-Roadian clastic strata represents an unroofing of Devonian Clastic Wedge-like strata from Crockerland. The lack of Permian aged zircons indicates a local source for zircons found further northeast on Axel Heiberg Island. | en_US |
