GEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK Figures 3.3 and 3.4 illustrate the primary reservoirs and structural style of the Jeanne d’Arc and the Flemish Pass basins. To date the key reservoirs are the Lower Cretaceous Ben Nevis/Avalon and Hibernia sandstones and the Late Jurassic Jeanne d’Arc sandstones. As in the North Sea the source rock is a regional Kimmeridgian shale with total organic carbon in the neighborhood of 4.5% and a hydrogen index in the range of five hundred to seven hundred, indicating a 6highly oil prone source rock . The Jeanne d’Arc basin is home to all of the large oil fields discovered to date, including Hibernia, Terra Nova, Hebron and White Rose. Based on current developments (Hibernia and Terra Nova), this basin will be producing about 300,000 barrels per day by March of 2001, and if development proceeds as expected at White Rose and Hebron, could be producing more than 500,000 bopd by mid-decade. In the meantime new seismic data continues to refine the geologic picture and identify new targets, exploratory drilling continues, and recent land sales have recorded record bids . Three parcels in this years Request for Bids are located in the Jeanne d’Arc Basin (Figure 3.4). The Hibernia B-16-1 well set a Canadian daily flow rate record in 1998 when it tested at 56,000 barrels of oil per day from the Hibernia Sandstone Reservoir.
