...Fadel Bahr; Dave Keighley ABSTRACT The Pennsylvanian stratigraphy of the western Cumberland Basin has been influenced by salt tectonics, specifically the formation of the Minudie Anticline, a salt wall.

...Fadel Bahr; Dave Keighley The Cumberland Basin is one of several sedimentary basins composing the late Paleozoic Maritimes Basin complex of eastern Canada. Pennsylvanian salt tectonics in the Cumberland Basin caused two salt mini-basins to evolve on either side of the Minudie Anticline, a salt wall...

... gas field was discovered by the Imperial Oil Limited at Kimball, 11 miles south of Sarnia, Ontario, in the Salina formation. An important test was drilled in the Minudie anticline near Amherst, Nova Scotia, by the Sun Oil Company. The well was abandoned as a dry hole in Mississippian rocks at 11,504...

... in Hillsborough Bay, Prince Edward Island, was abandoned in 1945 at the depth of 14,696 feet. This is the deepest well ever drilled in Canada. The well finished in salt, presumably Mississippian in age. The well of the Sun Oil Company on the Minudie anticline south of Amherst was abandoned at the depth...

... the year the Sun Oil Company commenced drilling a second well on the Minudie anticline a few miles south of Amherst. In December the well was drilling below 7,500 feet in Mississippian beds, presumably of the Upper Albert series. 3 F. H. Lahee, “Exploratory Drilling and Statistics for 1943...

...F. T. Addison; P. Turner; D. H. Tarling Abstract The Pendleside Formation, a sequence of bioclastic wackestones and grainstones, has been extensively dolomitized and silicified, especially towards the top and near the axis of the Clitheroe Anticline. Undolomitized limestones are characterized...

... ). Of the two salt structures that are known in the study area, the Dorchester Salt Dome (reached by wells Imperial Dorchester 1, Shell Dorchester 1, and Copper Mine Hill) was active in late Visean times, whereas the south-southwest-striking Maringouin–Minudie Anticline was still inactive ( Jutras et al. 2015...

... that the lowest stratigraphic level recorded within the anticline is from the lower Windsor Group. The geometry of the structure is rea- sonably well constrained from surface mapping and drill hole data (Ryan et al., 1990). The Minudie anticline is a northwest- verging structure with a strongly overturned...

... the majority of the basin is bounded by a complex network of faults ( Fig. 1 ), the Cumberland Group locally onlaps basement to the southeast and northwest. The dominant structural features within the Cumberland basin are the Minudie and Claremont anticlines, and the adjacent Athol and Tatamagouche...

Recognition and boundary placements are speculative or inferred for most of the area between the Malagash-Claremont and Minudie Anticlines, especially between Canfield Creek and Salt Springs. This may be attributed to several factors, including: lateral variation, struc- tural...

... Total depth The Nappan No. 1A well of Sun Oil Company was completed on the Minudie anticline in Nova Scotia, a surface closure on the eastward continuation of the Maringouin anticline.
