Hydrocarbon Traps<br />
Structural traps <strong>in</strong> the <strong>Jeanne</strong> d’Arc d<br />
Bas<strong>in</strong> are associated with<br />
rift<strong>in</strong>g of the Newfoundland Marg<strong>in</strong>, subsidence and <strong>for</strong>mation<br />
of the deep extensional bas<strong>in</strong>s and movement of the Argo salt<br />
•All major traps were found to have a stratigraphic component as<br />
the accumulations are conta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> cont<strong>in</strong>ental, deltaic and shallow<br />
low<br />
mar<strong>in</strong>e sandstones onlapp<strong>in</strong>g or wrapped over the ma<strong>in</strong> structural<br />
traps<br />
• Many complex or solely stratigraphic traps rema<strong>in</strong> to be drilled, , as<br />
well as deeper faulted blocks and rollover structures <strong>in</strong> the central<br />
and northern part of the bas<strong>in</strong><br />
•The bas<strong>in</strong> marg<strong>in</strong> plays were found to be most successful<br />
•On the east-central part of the bas<strong>in</strong>, where Parcel 1 is located, the<br />
de<strong>for</strong>mation of <strong>in</strong>fill is due ma<strong>in</strong>ly to the Voyager Fault and its<br />
imbricates, and the Amethyst salt cored ridge<br />
