Study of organic matter in Cretaceous - Tertiary sediments, central West Greenland

Abstract

Source-rock investigations have been carried out on behalf of GGU for a number of years. The primary objective was an evaluation of the oil generating potential of the dark shales of the Nûgssuaq peninsula (Henderson, 1969: Stevens et al., 1974). Samples from East and North Greenland were also analysed for the same purpose (Stevens et al., 1973; 1974).
