Formation evaluation techniques based on the integration of wireline logging surveys and core analysis were developed to establish volumetrics and mechanical properties of potential hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs in the Travis Peak-Hosston formation of northeast Texas and north Louisiana. Objectives of the program include the establishment of a disc-stored data base of wireline logs, core-analysis data, and measured-stress test data; the quantitative evaluation of all wells in the data base for petrophysical properties utilizing methodologies learned during the study; the identification of zones of naturally high in-situ permeability; and the determination of mechanical properties of the rock and surrounding formations for massive hydraulic-fracture design.
