Task C) Basement Geology Map
It has been found that there is a higher heat transfer to the oil shale from the sediments that are directly under the
gneiss thus allowing maturation of the shale to allow extraction of the oil.
Construct a basement geological map that shows the underlying regional metamorphic geology of the entire
region. Use the drilling logs in Appendix 2 to help identify areas of oil shale thus constraining the size of the
geological resource associated with Task D.
Along with the geological base map prior to the deposition of the sediments, the following is required:
• Infer the geological boundaries, including fault zones and folding for the region.
• Identify the igneous rock types listed within the Porphyrite and Volcanic Group drilling (Appendix 2)
according to the International Union of Geological Sciences use of the Streckeisen international
classification system and provide an image of the rock that you have identified.
• Compare geophysical techniques that could be used to confirm the volume of the oil shale/ coal
resources and where there could be potential igneous intrusions.
