A considerable amount of information and knowledge was gained during the exploration phase of the Beaufort Sea during the 1970s through to the 1990s. However, this information can be difficult to locate. This report provides a broad summary of the oil and gas activities in the Canadian Beaufort Sea. Information is provided on the environment in this region, the types of drilling platforms used for exploratory and delineation drilling, the support agencies that funded research, the large-scale field measurement programs, as well as other relevant Arctic field programs. Descriptions are also given on the numerous resources that can supply this detailed information including libraries, databases and organizations that have Arctic expertise.
