The proposed research is focused on the Cambrian Mount Clark and Mount Cap formations near Norman Wells (NWT), an area of oil and gas exploration. These units are not presently oil or gas producing intervals, but they have potential economic significance. The Mount Clark Formation contains proven resources elsewhere, and locally has good porosity characteristics and may be a water-disposal zone for water produced during gas and oil production. The Mount Cap Formation is shale-dominated and in some areas has a high organic content, so it may represent a hydrocarbon source rock for the area.

拟议的研究重点是诺曼·威尔斯（NWT）附近的寒武纪克拉克山和凯普山地层，这是一个石油和天然气勘探区。这些单元目前不是石油或天然气生产层段，但它们具有潜在的经济意义。克拉克山地层包含其他地方已探明的资源，局部具有良好的孔隙度特征，可能是天然气和石油生产过程中产生的水的水处理区。帽山组以页岩为主，在某些地区有机质含量较高，因此可能是该地区的烃源岩。
