Sequence stratigraphy, titania diagenesis and relationship to petroleum systems modeling
October 2018 – January 2021
This project examines different forms of titania (TiO2) minerals to confirm the relationship between late diagenetic titania (i.e., titania minerals transformed under the heat and pressure of sedimentary processes) and hydrocarbon migration and thus assess the use of titania polymorphs as “pathfi

Predictive Modeling of Sandstone Reservoir Distribution in the SW Scotian Basin
March 2018 – April 2020
The SW Scotian Basin is considered an under-explored passive margin sedimentary basin, however, it is also the most probable location to find oil on the Scotian Margin.

Shelburne Sub-Basin Play Fairway Analysis Update
November 2018 – June 2019
Shortly after the Scotian Shelf and Slope Play Fairway Analysis (PFA) was released in 2011, Shell Canada acquired six exploration parcels in the Shelburne Subbasin and collected approximately 10,850 square kilometers of wide azimuth 3D seismic data.

Nova Scotia-Morocco Conjugate Biostratigraphy Project
September 2018 – June 2019
Biostratigraphy, the study of fossils to determine the age and depositional conditions of the sediments from which they are recovered, is a critical input to the seismic reconstruction of the Nova Scotia and Morocco margins. Detailed biostratigraphical analyses have been completed by an internat
