Offshore Geoscience Research

We are getting a much clearer, three-dimensional view of Nova Scotia's offshore, thanks to new geoscience and mapping technologies.

The Nova Scotia Department of Energy is championing this research, recognizing that the more offshore information we can share, the better the chances for investment, exploration and production.

Nova Scotia's offshore geoscience research is provided by an arm of the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board (CNSOPB).

Onshore Core Library Geological Research

Nova Scotia's onshore energy research is headquartered in Stellarton, Pictou County.

For more information individuals and companies interested in exploring or learning can find more about Nova Scotia's geological and petroleum research.

There you will find the contact information, the library's hours of operation, and background on everything from exploration assessment reports to drill cores dating back 50 years.
