The computed tomography (CT) facilities and the Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) site in Morgantown, West Virginia, were used to characterize the Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian) Smackover limestone in the Roberson 18-19 1-15H core retrieved from the Atlanta Field, Columbia County, Arkansas. The 365.68-ft long Roberson core came from a vertical well at depths 8,802 ft to 9,169.60 ft, drilled by Southwestern Energy targeting the Smackover Formation as a potential unconventional oil reservoir. The primary impetus of this work was to non-destructively characterize core from the Smackover Formation that was acquired through a core exchange with Southwestern Energy. The Smackover Formation is an unconventional limestone play in southern Arkansas. This report and the associated scans provide detailed datasets not typically made publicly available from unconventional limestone for analysis. The resultant datasets are presented in this report and can be accessed from NETL’s Energy Data eXchange (EDX) online system using the following link: https://edx.netl.doe.gov/dataset/roberson-smackover.
