Oil and gas potential of the northern mainland, Canada (Mackenzie Corridor and northern Yukon)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A description of petroleum resource potential for all sedimentary strata in the northern mainland of Canada is presented in this open file. The study area includes the Interior Platform of Northwest Territories, Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin, Northern Foreland Belt and Northern Yukon Fold Complex in Northwest Territories and Yukon. Very conservative estimates of total resource endowment in the Interior Platform are 1.22 x 109 m³ and 1.56 x 10¹² m³ of in-place oil and gas, respectively. Very high petroleum potential is expected to occur in the subcrop extent of Cambrian sands in the Colville Hills area, the Kee Scarp reef fairway near Norman Wells, and on the barrier and in the back-barrier of Presqump;gt;'ile barrier complex in the south. The greatest number of discoveries and potential in the northern mainland occurs in the Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin, where total resource estimates are 1.13 x 109 m³ of mean recoverable oil and 3.32 x 10¹² m³ of mean recoverable gas. Gas hydrate potential in the Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin is immense (2.4 - 87 x 10¹² m³). In Liard Plateau of the Mackenzie Fold Belt, in-place resource potential for natural gas is 2.77 x 10¹¹ m³. In Eagle Plain basin, total resource endowment is predicted to be 6.94 x 107 m³ and 1.71 x 10¹¹ m³ (in-place volumes). With respect to nation-wide petroleum potential, Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin is rated high while the remainder of the northern mainland has a low to moderate rating.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
