Yukon Oil and Gas Wells Formation Tops, 1957-2005

Yukon Territory subsurface data contains formation tops for 73 oil and gas wells drilled between 1957 and 2005. The Government of Yukon compiled this dataset in collaboration with the National Energy Board, using wireline logs exclusively. Data is presented in both imperial and metric units and is complemented by a stratigraphic correlation chart.

Use Cases

• Regional mapping of subsurface horizons based on formation tops
• Identifying structural trends and facies boundaries based on subsurface horizon mapping
• Constructing cross-sections to understand basin morphology based on regional correlation of formation tops

Strengths

• 73 wells provide a consistent dataset spanning the entire Yukon Territory
• Data includes both imperial and metric values to accommodate historical and recent data
• Formation tops were picked using wireline logs exclusively, offering a consistent methodology

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to open_canada, with most wells drilled between 1957 and 1985
