| *** Basins
joined for assessment presentation ( ) Indicates basin also listed under another country - no further calculations Ng Negligible NA Not assessed Numbers with no following data are unused (e.g. 1009-12) The above listed names refer to adjoining areas prior to pull-apart separation. Several discrete basins likely occur in each zone. Assessment originally based on analog relations with comparable areas (see Kingston 1991). Subsequent analysis determine there to be no most likely (modal) occurrence of commercial petroleum, only low probability, 5%, values were assessed; for oil. Nonetheless, owing to potential high sealing qualities of ice, some probability remains for the occurrence of commercial gas. |
