Nineteen exploratory wells have been drilled in the Peel Plateau and Plain region of Yukon, Canada, without economic production. A probabilistic assessment suggests significant natural gas potential across a Lower Cambrian to Upper Cretaceous stratigraphic succession up to approximately 4.5 km thick. The dataset was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Model natural gas resource potential based on stratigraphic thickness and well history
- Analyze regional petroleum system consistency based on exploration history
- Assess development impediments based on inferred gas pool size and location
Strengths
- Assessment based on 19 exploratory wells drilled in the region
- Describes a stratigraphic succession up to approximately 4.5 km thick
- Provides a probabilistic assessment of natural gas potential
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- No crude oil potential can be estimated due to inferred lack of oil-prone sources
