Rock-Eval/TOC data for 18 wells, Peel Plateau and Plain, Yukon Territory (65° 50’ to 67° 00’ N; 133° 45’ to 135° 15’ W)
Description
This report is a compilation of newly obtained and previously determined Rock-Eval anhydrous pyrolysis analytical results including, total organic carbon content analysis (Rock-Eval/TOC) together with previously determined vitrinite reflectance data for the Peel Plateau and Plain region, Yukon Territory. The study is part of the “Regional Geoscience Studies and Petroleum Potential, Peel Plateau and Plain” research project which aims to provide new information on the geology of the Peel Plateau and Plain in both the Northwest Territories and the Yukon Territory, including a petroleum resource assessment of the region (see Pyle et al., 2006). The research involves the efforts of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), the Northwest Territories Geoscience Office (NTGO), the Yukon Geological Survey (YGS) as well as university and industry affiliates.
