Contents

This report delivers detailed descriptions of one outcrop section and two continuously cored sections from the gas-prone organic-rich shales of the thick (300-1000 m) Besa River stratigraphic succession of Liard Basin. Visual descriptions are illustrated with extensive imagery of core faces and the outcrop. The outcrop measured in 2018 in the vicinity of the Liard Basin was surveyed with spectral gamma-ray tool, which is reported as stratigraphic logs and data tables.
