INTRODUCTION

Cuttings and core samples have been analyzed using a Rock-Eval 6 Turbo pyrolysis apparatus in the Calgary organic geochemistry laboratory of the Geological Survey of Canada. The wells typically were sampled on about a 10 metre (30 foot) spacing. Analyses also have been carried out for additional depth intervals for wells included in Geological Survey of Canada Open File Report 1720 (Snowdon, 1988). The original data were measured using a Rock-Eval II/TOC instrument, while the new data were run using a Rock-Eval 6 Turbo.

In addition, Oil Show Analyzer data were generated by Chevron Canada in the late 1980s and early 1990s using samples archived by the GSC for seven Yukon wells. These data were filed with the well history documents in the early 1990s and released after a confidentiality period. The results have been transcribed and included in this data set. The depth intervals for these data are somewhat irregular and generally at a larger interval spacing than the analyses carried in the GSC.

Rock-Eval 6 Turbo results Beavercrow YT B-16 (54 cuttings samples + 55 RE II unpublished results) Ellen YT (7 core samples + 34 cuttings samples + 505 RE II previously published results) North Hope YT N-53 (193 cuttings samples) North Parkin YT D-61 (6 core samples + 215 cuttings samples) Schaeffer Creek YT O-22 (2 core samples + 297 cuttings samples) South Tuttle YT N-05 (44 cuttings samples + 322 RE II previously published results)

Oil Show Analyzer results Alder YT C-33 (261 samples) Blackie M-59 (102 samples) Chance J-19 (46 samples) East Chance C-18 (52 samples) Porcupine YT F-72 (80 samples) Parkin YT D-51 (88 samples) West Parkin D-54 (65 samples)

The depth units shown in the figures (feet or metres) are those in which the original well was drilled and logged, and in which the samples are currently labelled. The formation tops are those from the GSC Calgary archives supplemented with some from (Fraser and Hogue, 2007). All formation tops presented herein are provisional and subject to revision.
