Canada is blessed with numerous large and small sedimentary basins, both onshore and offshore, many of which have hardly been probed for their hydrocarbon potential. Only the most promising aspects of this potential can be highlighted in a brief review such as this, and hence the objectives of the report are (i); to present a regional assessment of the onshore and offshore basins in Canada and to document reservoir units for both conventional and non‐conventional hydrocarbon occurrences within the basin fills which may yield significant discoveries in the future (Map 1), and (ii) to emphasize Canada's political‐investment environment, and the roles of Petro‐Canada, Native Land claims, etc., since most, if not all, of the exploratory targets mentioned require large financial commitments and stable domestic and global conditions. Previous publications provided essential information to substantiate and/or alter views and projections expressed. Only summary papers are referred to in this review, and we apologize to authors whose views we have used but not acknowledged.
