Lithologic Descriptions of Appalachian Area Oil-Producing Formations

摘要

The Bureau of Mines obtained samples of oil-reservoir rock from wells in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia as part of an investigation of the susceptibility of petroleum reservoirs to secondary-recovery techniques. Illustrations and tables showing the geographic and stratigraphic sequence of the cored reservoirs and 40 tables of detailed lithologic descriptions of the reservoirs are presented. Information relevant to geologic surroundings, oilfield history, coring and well logging operations, and reservoir core analyses are referenced throughout the report. (Author)
