Paleogeological studies in the Maritime provinces.Castle, Robert Oliver. January 1949 (has links)
The Maritime Provinces of Canada offer tempting prospects to the petroleum industry, for oil and gas seepages have been reported from widely separated districts since the early settlement of the country. Yet the petroleum production to date has come almost exclusively from the Stony Creek field in New Brunswick, which has yielded only slightly better than one hundred thousand barrels of oil and twelve billion cubic feet of gas. It is the essential purpose of this thesis to investigate further the petroleum possibilities of this area through the medium of paleogeology. Three sources of information have been exploited in the construction of the accompanying paleogeologic map. They are: (l) published maps and descriptions of the stratigraphy and structure, (2) published geophysical information, and (3) the well logs available at the Borings Division of the Geological Survey of Canada in Ottawa. It is necessary at this point to note that the number and quality of the well logs available greatly restrict the accuracy of this study. Thus, this study is of necessity highly speculative in its outlook and only serves to point the way for future work if the various oil companies feel that such work is warranted. The stratigraphic horizon selected for this study is the pre-Pennsylvanian, that is, the surface geology as it appeared at the beginnings of the Pennsylvanian Period. To understand the interpretation of the paleogeologic map it is necessary to know something of the[...]
