Book excerpt: "During the course of the present detailed stratigraphic studies careful attention was paid to occurrences of bitumen, dead oil, fetid lithologies, and possible porous intervals within the Jurassic rocks. Hydrocarbons, derived from normal petroleum type hydrocarbons, were noted throughout the lower and middle Jurassic. The present evidence suggests that hydrocarbon reserves may be encountered in the subsurface in northern Graham Island, southern Hecate Strait, and Queen Charlotte Sound. These potential resources involve mesozoic oil within the Jurassic or Cretaceous rocks, or escape oil of Mesozoic age in Tertiary sandstone units." --
