| Abstract | This report describes the petrophysical analyses of reservoir characteristics, hydrocarbon occurrences, and overpressure zones in deep-marine Tertiary strata in eight wells (Kenalooak J-94, Koakoak
O-22, Kopanoar M-13, Kopanoar 2I-44, Nektoralik K-59, Nerlerk M-98, Orvilruk O-03 and Siulik I-05) in the northern Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin. Well logs and drill stem test data, calibrated with available cores, are analyzed for each well, with
interpretations of lithology, shale content, porosity, permeability, and water saturation. Log-identified (untested) hydrocarbon reservoirs occur in sandstones and siltstones in most of the evaluated wells. Most of the tested hydrocarbon reservoirs
in the northern Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin occur in porous and permeable sandstones and siltstones of the Oligocene Kugmallit Sequence. Additionally, the Nektoralik K-59 well encountered a hydrocarbon reservoir in a Pliocene limestone. Overpressure
zones are identified in each of the studied wells. Most hydrocarbon reservoirs occur below or within overpressure zones. The stratigraphic framework of overpressure zones and hydrocarbon reservoirs, and observed sandstone porosity-depth trends
indicate probable linkages between rapid deposition of Pliocene Iperk sediments, overpressure development, and porosity preservation. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This report describes the petrophysical analyses of reservoir characteristics, hydrocarbon occurrences, and overpressure zones in deep-marine Tertiary
strata in eight wells in the northern Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin (Kenalooak J-94, Koakoak O-22, Kopanoar M-13, Kopanoar 2I-44, Nektoralik K-59, Nerlerk M-98, Orvilruk O-03 and Siulik I-05). Core, well log, and drill stem test data are analysed for each
well, with interpretations of lithology, shale content, porosity, permeability, and water saturation. Most of the tested hydrocarbon reservoirs in the northern Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin occur in porous and permeable sandstones and siltstones of the
Oligocene Kugmallit sequence. One hydrocarbon reservoir is in a Pliocene limestone bed in the Nektoralik K-59 well. Log-identified (untested) hydrocarbon reservoirs occur in sandstones and siltstones in most of the wells evaluated. Overpressure zones
occur in each well, with most hydrocarbon reservoirs occurring below or within overpressure zones. |
