Cormorant N-83
Location: Carson / Bonnition Basin
Parcel Area: 215,875 hectares
Water depth: 100 - >1000 m
Released Seismic Data: 2677.12 km
Data Vintages: 1966 –1985
Play Types: -
Cretaceous and Base of
Tertiary sands infilling a
broad, ‘paleo-valley’
- Cretaceous and Jurassic
sands in tilted fault blocks
This block includes the Bonnition H-32 and St. George
J-55 wells, both of which were drilled on an elevated
terrace on the western side of the Bonnition Basin. The
Jurassic and Cretaceous section is thinner on this terrace
with less development of reservoir quality sediments.
The Bonnition well encountered gas shows while
drilling. To the east of the terrace the basin deepens
considerably. The seismic line shows a thick Lower
Cretaceous and Jurassic with fault blocks resembling the
successful “Trans-basin Fault Trend” of the Jeanne
d'Arc Basin. The line also shows a deep, wide canyon
that cut through the L. Cretaceous and into the Jurassic.
This “paleo valley” was filled by Upper Cretaceous and
Tertiary sediments and could contain thick channel
sands and fan deposits. Additionally, the river system
that created the valley would have delivered
considerable sand to the area.
