Initiated by the Northwest Territories Geoscience Office, the project Regional Geoscience Studies and Petroleum Potential, Peel Plateau and Plain, Northwest Territories and Yukon (2005 to 2009) involved partners from the Yukon Geological Survey, Geological Suvey of Canada, as well as universities and industry. The research team coupled field-based studies with subsurface analytical techniques to evaluate the study area's hydrocarbon potential. Over 70 interim publications have been produced. This volume compiles chapters devoted to several stratigraphic petroleum plays, along with structural and petroleum systems elements and a digital geodatabase (or atlas) of spatially based data collected during the course of the project . The result is a comprehensive body of geoscience work for Peel area which will be useful too in oil and gas exploration and for regional land use and business planning endeavours.
