Abstract
Abstract The Hudson Strait Platform and basins Tectono-Sedimentary Element (HSPB TSE) is part of a major topographical feature that connects Hudson Bay and Foxe Basin with the Labrador Sea in the Canadian Arctic. The Paleozoic succession (Ordovician–Silurian) unconformably overlies the Precambrian basement and reaches a maximum preserved thickness of less than 600 m on the islands. High-resolution marine seismic data indicate that the offshore part of the Hudson Strait is underlain by several fault-controlled sub-basins with a half-graben geometry. The sedimentary succession in the sub-basins is thicker than the one preserved in nearby islands, and includes an upper sedimentary package for which the nature and age remain poorly constrained. Upper Ordovician source rocks have been mapped onshore. Known potential reservoir rocks consist of Ordovician clastics and Ordovician–Silurian reefs and dolostones.
