| Abstract | As part of its Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program, the Geological Survey of Canada included the Hudson Bay Basin in its research portfolio with the goal of generating a modern understanding of
its geological framework and a precise knowledge of its hydrocarbon systems. The Hudson Bay-Foxe Basins GEM-1 project led to the proposal of modern stratigraphic frameworks and produced extensive geochemical data on hydrocarbon source rocks as well
as data on diverse burial-thermal indicators. Satellite data were acquired over the entire offshore domain in the search for evidence for active hydrocarbon systems. For the Hudson-Ungava GEM-2 project, the aim of the research activities was to
better understand local and regional factors associated with the burial and exhumation histories as they pertain to regional or local hydrocarbon prospectivity. This research led to a basin-scale stratigraphic framework coupled with detailed analyses
of hydrocarbon generation and the appraisal of the best potential reservoir units. |

As part of its Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program, the Geological Survey of Canada included the Hudson Bay Basin in its research portfolio with
the goal to generate a modern understanding of its geological framework and a precise knowledge of its hydrocarbon systems. The Hudson-Foxe basins GEM-1 project led to the proposal of modern stratigraphic frameworks and generated extensive
geochemical data on hydrocarbon source rocks and their burial and thermal histories. Satellite data were acquired over the entire offshore domain in the search for evidence for active hydrocarbon systems. For the Hudson Bay ¿ Ungava GEM-2 project,
research activities aimed at understanding local and regional factors responsible for burial and exhumation histories as they pertain to regional or local hydrocarbon prospectivity. This research led to a basin-scale stratigraphic framework coupled
with detailed analyses of hydrocarbon generation and the appraisal of the best potential reservoir units. |
