• The call consists of eleven parcels, six of which are industry nominated. Four parcels are located on the deepwater southwestern Scotian Slope where there is strong evidence for an Early Jurassic restricted marine oil-prone source rock (OETR Association PFA 2011)
• There are seven parcels on the central Scotian Margin:
  • Two parcels are located on the shelf in shallow water within the Sable Subbasin, close to infrastructure and where 23 significant gas and oil discoveries have been made to date.
  • Five parcels are located on the Scotian Slope, downdip from the Sable Delta in an area where gas charge is proven in Cretaceous turbidite sands at both the Newburn and Annapolis wells.
