Nova Scotia's Onshore Petroleum Atlas project (2013-2017)
The Nova Scotia Onshore Petroleum Atlas project is the first comprehensive look at the province’s onshore hydrocarbon resource potential.
This series of documents attempts to quantify Nova Scotia’s onshore resource by using the available subsurface geological data, and established methods of resource estimation. It also looks at how this resource is distributed between different types of reservoirs, and the challenges that presents.
One of the main guiding principles for this project is to provide this information openly. This gives geoscientists and technical professionals the opportunity to reproduce and verify these findings, resulting in a better understanding of Nova Scotia’s resource potential.
