Discovered in 1981 and put online in 2017, the Hebron field is estimated to contain over 700 million barrels of producible hydrocarbons.

The Hebron Oil Field is located off the coast of eastern Canada in Newfoundland in the Grand Banks.

[1] The Hebron Oil field formed as result of the early Mesozoic break up Pangea.

The major event happening at the end of this period was the deposition of the Ben Nevis formation which forms the main reservoir for the Hebron Oil Field.

In the Late Triassic sediments begin to be deposited in what is now the Jeanne d'Arc Basin during a series of Mesozoic rifting events.

During the lower Jurassic period, a marine environment existed in the area allowing for the deposition of interbedded carbonates and evaporates.

The deposition of these sandstones creates ideal seismic reflectors to aid in the understanding of formations deep within the Jeanne d'Arc Basin.

[2] This period began with the deposition of the Jeanne d'Arc Sandstone formation which provides a minor reservoir to the Hebron field.

This deposition also led to the creation of the Hibernia sandstone reservoir that is also produced in the Hebron Oil field.

After the uplift and erosion period, overlaying sandstanes, shales and limestones were deposited into the Hebron field.

The Hebron Fault block, also called "pool one", contains the majority of the producible hydrocarbons for the field in the Ben Nevis Sandstone formation.

The other two fault blocks or pools are located at deeper depths and express poor reservoir quality.

The lower reservoirs, Hibernia and Jeanne d'Arc formations, are trapped along the up dips of Anticlines and faulted tilted blocks.
