Jurassic Carbonate Bank evaluation.

The article reports that the 2005 study by the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board documents the geology of the Upper Jurassic Abenaki Formation carbonate platform, located along the edge of the continental margin, offshore Nova Scotia. Within the Abenaki, three main depositional facies are recognized: an inner low-energy shelf, an outer high-energy shelf, including the bank edge, and a deeper water foreslope. Of the 28 wells drilled from 1970-2004 on the Abenaki Platform in the study area, 10 were bank-edge wildcats, seven were delineation wells at the Deep Panuke Field, and 11 other wells were drilled either landward or basinward of the margin.
