Technical Report · Thu Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1981

OSTI ID:5263803

Highlights of accomplishments for the year ending September 30, 1981 are summarized in this report. Research was conducted in the following areas: stratigraphy, geophysics; geochemistry-source bed study; structural studies;conodont maturation-paleontology; data system; geochemistry-trace element study; clay mineralogy; and resource appraisal. The purpose of the study is to characterize the dark-brown to black gas-productive and potentially gas-productive shales and productive shales in the Appalachian region. (DMC)
