Paper Summary

An offshore 2D seismic database, complemented by two modern 3D seismic datasets, provides a unique perspective of prospectivity in the 2025 Labrador Call for Bids. The datasets allow for reliable mapping and visualization of seismic cross sections which expose crustal architecture and depositional systems associated with the development of a proven, yet untested petroleum system on the slope and deep water. Heat flow measurements and coring samples have identified potential source rocks ranging from the Early Cretaceous to the Paleocene (Enachescu et al., 2007), with evidence of potential reservoirs in Upper Cretaceous and Cenozoic clastic systems. Amplitude versus offset (AVO) leads are identified through extensive seismic interpretation providing insight to hydrocarbon exploration inside the Call for Bids territory.
