Publisher-reported update

2026-08-26

This report presents detailed analytical methodologies and a non-interpretative compilation of outcrop and subsurface data specific to Yukon’s Liard basin. It mainly comprises data collected in the 2012-2016 unconventional study, but also includes legacy data extracted from various sources (principally Geological Survey of Canada publications) on conventional source rock and reservoir potential. The report is organized into two sections: a) a summary of the basin’s geology, exploration history and ultimate resource potential; and b) detailed methods for each of the analytical techniques used to assess unconventional shale potential in the basin. Data, including formation tops and thicknesses, are presented in the suite of appendices.
