Abstract
Petroleum Source Potential of the Boundary Creek Formation, Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin
ABSTRACT
Organic geochemical analyses have been carried out on samples of the Boundary Creek Formation shale in order to determine its petroleum source potential. Solvent extraction, gas chromatographic analysis, total organic carbon analysis and elemental analysis of the kerogen indicate that this formation is an excellent potential hydrocarbon source rock in regions where it has been subjected to moderate thermal alteration and has, in fact, been the source for oils recovered from three different boreholes in the basin. Hydrocarbon yields in excess of 100 mg/g occur in the marginally mature zones whereas values of about 20 mg/g characterize the Boundary Creek over most of the study area because of the low levels of maturity.
