Abstract

During July 1979 geomorphological investigations were undertaken at five abandoned oil and gas wellsites in Eagle Plain and Peel Plateau regions of northern Yukon Territory (NTS 106L, 116I, 116H). The following wellsites were visited: Aquitaine Alder C-33, Chevron SOBC WM N. Parkin D-61, SOBC Blackstone D-77, Mobil Gulf Peel H-71, and Gulf Mobil Caribou N-25. They were selected as being either representative of general conditions in the area or were known to have experienced terrain and waste drilling fluid disposal problems. The major conclusion is that wellsite terrain disturbances are not obvious as in parts of the Mackenzie Delta and Arctic Islands. This probably reflects the generally lower terrain sensitivity of much of interior Yukon Territory together with the relative rapidity of revegetation in these boreal forest-shrub tundra transition zones
