Yukon Sedimentary Basin Maps For Oil And Gas Exploration

Sedimentary Basins - 250k is a geospatial dataset from the Yukon Geological Survey and Oil and Gas Management Branch. It delineates oil and gas exploration regions based on resource assessments and the 2003 Yukon Digital Bedrock Geology.

Use Cases

• Identify potential hydrocarbon resources by analyzing the spatial boundaries of sedimentary basins.
• Integrate basin polygons with other geological layers from GeoYukon for regional resource assessment.
• Support land-use planning by mapping exploration regions relative to environmental or administrative boundaries.

Strengths

• Data is produced by authoritative government bodies, the Yukon Geological Survey and Oil and Gas Management Branch.
• Dataset is actively maintained, with a last update recorded in March 2026.

Limitations

• Specific data structure details like row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable, limiting initial assessment.
• The foundational bedrock geology data is from 2003, which may not reflect recent discoveries or interpretations.
