Biostratigraphic analysis of samples from wells R-109, OH-1, and WV-5 has been completed. The samples from the R-109 well are Upper Devonian, Famennian or Frasnian Stages. The samples from the OH-1 and WV-5 wells range from the Middle Devonian, Givetian Stage to the Upper Devonian, Famennian Stage. The depositional environment of the R-109 well is non-marine with a restricted marine transition in the middle of the well. A regressive pattern of marine overlain successively by restricted marine and non-marine was observed in the OH-1 well. The basal sections of the WV-5 well are dominated by restricted marine deposition with a greater influence of non-marine sediments at the shallower depths. The following information is reported: organic carbon content results; lithologic description; vitrinite reflectance analysis; elemental analysis of kerogen; visual assessment of kerogen; mineralogical results; sedimentation studies; elemental analysis; detailed hydrocarbon analysis; material balance assay results; C/sub 1/-C/sub 7/ results; permeation studies; scanning electron microscopy studies; geophysical studies results; statistical analysis results; mechanical testing results; and shale block fracture analysis.
