TL;DR: In this paper, the results of the reprocessing and geological reinterpretation of a trio of regional seismic reflection lines acquired by the Ministere des Ressources naturelles du Quebec in 1978 are presented.

TL;DR: The Phanerozoic Hudson Bay Basin is a large intracratonic basin that is almost completely encircled by Precambrian rocks of the Canadian Shield as discussed by the authors, and the preserved sedimentary succession is up to 2500m thick and consists mainly of Upper Ordovician to Upper Devonian limestones, dolostones, evaporites and minor siliciclastics that were deposited in shallow marine conditions.

TL;DR: The structure of the southeast margin of the Canada Basin is synthesized from seismic reflection and refraction profiles in the southern Beaufort Sea and Mackenzie Delta, interpreted in conjunction with potential field data and the exploration seismic data base as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a remarkable Miocene-Pliocene regional unconformity in the Beaufort-Mackenzie area of Arctic Canada has been identified, which extends from beneath deep basin turbidites on the continental rise, upslope across an erosional paleocontinental shelf, onto the cratonic margin as a regional paleosurface (peneplain) in the Mackenzie Delta area, and into pediment surfaces cut into the orogenic highlands of the Richardson Mountains.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an assessment of the petroleum resource found in the Paleozoic successions of the St Lawrence Platform and the Appalachians of eastern Canada and found that the total resource presented in the paper is a minimum potential, as evidence for hydrocarbon charge is compelling in most of the qualitatively assessed plays.
