Prototype geophysical well-log interpretation models were developed to determine the lithology, porosity, and bulk-volume free hydrocarbon in the Devonian shale. These models are based on quantitative thin section point count and x-ray-diffraction measurements made on mechanical sidewall core samples taken in the same Devonian-shale wells in which the geophysical well logs were recorded. The porosity determined using these lithology and porosity models compares favorably with the porosity measured on the core samples in the laboratory. Integration of the results from the quantitative geophysical well-log interpretation with the qualitative interpretation of the mud logs, temperature surveys, noise logs and borehole television has led to the development of a qualitative producibility model.
