    This document summarizes Ralph Williams' presentation on visualizing shale reservoirs and tight sand formations in the Appalachian Basin using an 80,000 well log database. It shows cross sections of different geological formations like the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale across multiple states. The cross sections illustrate thickness changes and stratigraphy in detail. The large well log database allows visualization of facies changes across the multi-state basin. Beyond the Marcellus, the large number of wells provides potential for new prospects in other formations in the Appalachian Basin.

    Visualizing the many black shales and tight

    This cross section illustrates several of the high API (GR>200)


    shale zones in the Appalachian Basin. It is RVI’s practice to
    amass enough LAS to visualize facies changes across multi-
    state basins. The following slides are blow-ups of this Section.

    As we progress deeper into the


    geologic column (Cambrian) it is
    necessary to move to a KY/OH
    cross section since control is very
    limited in NY, PA and WV.

    With 650,000+ wells in the Appalachian


    Basin, there is huge potential for many
    new prospects beyond the Marcellus.
