Unconventional Hydrocarbon Potential of a Middle Triassic Source Rock in the West-Central Sverdrup Basin, Canadian Arctic Archipelago ...
Organic-rich Middle Triassic strata of the Sverdrup Basin have been identified as source rocks; however their potential as a self-sourced, unconventional hydrocarbon reservoir has not been examined. This study uses a combination of organic and inorganic geochemical, petrographic, and petrophysical t...
