Sub-Surface Structural Analysis of the Appalachian Basin in Morrow County, Ohio
<p>Located in the western most region of the Appalachian Basin, Morrow County, Ohio, was once one of the largest oil-producing regions in the nation and continually produces today. To date, approximately 30 million barrels of oil and 6.5 billion cubic feet of gas have been produced, primarily from …

High resolution sequence stratigraphy of late Mississippian carbonates in the Appalachian Basin
The late Mississippian carbonates in the Appalachian Basin, U.S.A., were deposited on a huge, south-facing ramp during long-term Mississippian transgression that formed the Mississippian supersequence. The St. Louis- to Glen Dean interval consists of up to twelve fourth-order depositional sequences …

Zircon Geochronology of Ash Beds in the Marcellus Shale of the Appalachian Basin
… ash horizons, produced by arc magmatism in the Acadian orogeny, are interbedded with the Marcellus Shale and Onondaga Limestone of the Appalachian basin. Zircon grains from the ash layers are suitable for SIMS U-Th-Pb geochronology due to their resistant behavior against weathering and …

Identification of technical barriers and preferred practices for oil production in the Appalachian Basin
The Appalachian Basin is characterized by great number of stripper wells and marginally producing oilfields that face a number of production problems. The purpose of this study was to identify the main problematic issues and preferred solutions for oil production in the Appalachian Basin. …

Regional Mapping and Reservoir Analysis of the Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian Basin
The main purpose of this investigation is to define the distribution of organic-rich facies of the Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The analysis is based on well-log data, primarily gamma-ray (the most common and best calibrated) and bulk-density …

Evaluation of the Newburg Sandstone of the Appalachian Basin as a CO2 Geologic Storage Resource
The West Virginia Division of Energy is currently evaluating several deep saline formations in the Appalachian basin of West Virginia, which may be potential carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration targets. The Silurian Newburg Sandstone play, developed in the 1970's, primarily involves natural gas …

Parametric and predictive analysis of horizontal well configurations for coalbed methane reservoirs in Appalachian Basin
It has been a well-established fact that the Appalachian Basin represents a high potential region for the Coalbed Methane (CBM) production. The thin coal beds in the Appalachian basin are characterized by low porosity and permeability values. Due to highly complex reservoir characteristics, …

Allostratigraphy of the Upper Ordovician Blue Mountain Formation, Southwestern Ontario, Canada
The Upper Ordovician units in Southwestern Ontario record the distal response to the development of the Taconic Appalachian foreland basin. The proximal representation in Ohio and Pennsylvania, contain the Utica/Point Pleasant Play (!). The relationship between the proximal and distal portions of …

Precambrian Basement Influence on the Deposition of the Upper Ordovician Utica Shale Play in East Central Ohio
<p>The Ordovician Utica shale play is a major oil and gas producing interval in the Appalachian Basin. The Utica shale play can be found as far as New York and Canada and to the south into Indiana and Kentucky. The play consists of the Trenton/Lexington limestones, Point Pleasant Formation, and …

The Upper Mississippian Bluefield Formation in the Central Appalachian Basin: a Hierarchical Sequence Stratigraphic Record of a Greenhouse to Icehouse Transition
The Upper Mississippian (Chesterian) Bluefield Formation of southeastern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia is the basal unit of the Mauch Chunk Group, a succession of predominantly siliciclastic strata sourced from actively rising tectonic highlands east of the Appalachian Basin. The …

Geochemical Characterization of the Utica Shale Play using XRF-Based Chemostratigraphy in Ohio
<p>The Utica shale is an extensive gas shale play within the Appalachian Basin, expanding from Quebec through New York, into Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio. Currently a target for gas exploration, it is also the source rock for much of the Paleozoic reservoirs throughout the basin. However, …

Hydrogen Storage Potential of the Salina Group, Appalachian and Michigan Basins
… social-political demand for decarbonization, the energy system is evolving globally and domestically. Adoption of hydrogen at scale as an energy carrier and a storage medium is a key strategy discussed by the DOE and in the literature for decarbonization of the electricity grid and the …

Stratigraphy, sedimentology, and diagenetic history of the Siluro- Devonian Helderberg Group, central Appalachians
The Late Silurian-Early Devonian Helderberg Group, Central Appalachians, is a sequence of mixed siliciclastic-carbonate sediments that was deposited during relative tectonic quiescence on a ramp that built out from low-relief tectonic highlands bordering the eastern side of the Appalachian Basin. …
-
Reservoir Characterization of the Utica Shale Play Using Well Log Data in Columbiana, Ohio
<p>The Ordovician Utica shale play is rapidly developing throughout the Appalachian Basin. The play is a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic system that grades from primarily carbonates at its base in the Lexington/Trenton limestones into primarily shale within the Utica shale. As of January 2021, it is …

Unraveling Paleoenvironmental Stress in the Late Devonian and Mississippian: Insights into Redox Dynamics and Photosynthetic Adaptations Elucidated Through Geochemical Proxies
The Late Devonian and Mississippian Periods (382.7 to 358.9 million years ago) were key moments in the history of our planet. They contain one of the five major mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic which saw profound environmental and ecological disturbances and changed the trajectory of both marine …

A study of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility’s effectiveness in understanding palaeoflow systematics in shale basins
… sedimentary transport mechanisms in shale-prone basins can be difficult, but anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) has the sensitivity and ease of use to be widely applicable. Three distinct shale basins were selected, the turbidite Ainsa Basin, the shelfedge of the Welsh Borderlands and …

Aspects of Cyclic Sedimentation in the Upper Mississippian, Mauch Chunk Group, southern West Virginia and southwest Virginia
… of strata up to 1000m thick that developed in the Central Appalachian Basin over a ~ 7 million year time interval. Included within the Mauch Chunk Group are multiple incised-valley fills and a distinctive prodeltaic succession of laminated sandstones and mudstones. Calculated estimates of …

Structural framework of the Appalachian Plateau of central West Virginia
The Appalachian basin has attracted great interest recently due to the gas potential from the Marcellus Formation. 2D seismic data has brought new insights to areas, particularly Webster County, WV, that were once considered low potential due to the lack of knowledge of the deep structures in the …

Geologic and geotechnical controls on the stability of coal mine entries
… failures in underground coal mines are one of the major problems facing the industry today. In addition to safety considerations, the resulting economic impact of such failures is staggering. Uncovering and replacing buried and damaged equipment and clearing entries can account for a large …
