Cross Yukon has faced is trying to maximize the value of old data from seismic and drilling activities conducted during the first major wave of exploration work at Eagle Plain between 1959 and 1972 . The other major challenge is working with a dataset that is at best pretty coarse . Old 2D seismic lines are often 10 or more kilometres apart so there are large data holes in the basin . Similarly , the legacy drilling totaled about 34 wells and most of them are between 10 and 50 kilometres apart so modeling the geology of the basin has had its challenges . With new data from recently drilled wells and the 3D seismic survey , we are progressively reducing the uncertainty of exploration and hopefully improving our chances of success . Wyman ’ s anticipates that over the next three to five years , “ the emphasis is going to be aimed at conventional resources , hopefully oil . With the large land position , there is running room to build on any initial success . Though the anticipation and excitement of receiving and interpreting the seismic data is high , safety is still a crucial factor to Northern Cross Yukon for its employees . “ Safety is a paramount concern for us and there are a lot of reasons for it but remoteness is probably the most important influence ”. The Eagle Plain is located in a remote territory of the Yukon , making it a long drive to the nearest hospital . Only employees and contractors who demonstrate the upmost professionalism and safety record are considered for the job .
