Government of Yukon presents a non-interpretative compilation of outcrop and subsurface data for unconventional shale plays in the Liard basin. The report includes analytical methodologies and data collected primarily between 2012 and 2016, supplemented by legacy data from Geological Survey of Canada publications. Appendices contain formation tops and thicknesses.
Use Cases
