The Sverdrup Basin is located Arctic Canada. The basin is filled with 10,000-15,000 meters of carbonates, evaporites, and marine and non-marine clastics. The basin has an estimated petroleum potential of almost three billion barrels of oil, with the Triassic Schei Point Group being the source of most of this oil. In this paper, the author examines biomarker distributions in the Sverdrup Basin oils using a 12-oil sample set and a more comprehensive.
