Lithologic Description of Cored Wells No. 20402 and No. 20403 in the Devonian Shale in Lincoln County, West Virginia

摘要

A detailed lithologic description of the Upper Devonian Shale as observed in cores taken from two wells near Ranger, Lincoln County, West Virginia is presented. One of the cored wells, No. 20402 (West Virginia Permit No. 1636), is located approximately three miles southwest of Ranger, West Virginia on Ten Mile Creek while the second cored well No. 20403. (West Virginia Permit No. 1637), is located near the first well, but is located on Fourteen Mile Creek. Analysis of the core material is providing information to be used in designing stimulation techniques for the improvement of gas production from the Devonian Shale. (ERA citation 02:024032)
