Geochemical analyses were initiated on the samples from the Mason County, West Virginia well. C/sub 1/-C/sub 7/ analyses indicated that the samples were gas rich. Detailed hydrocarbon analyses were completed on samples from the R-109 well in Washington County, Ohio and the OH-1 well in Carroll County, Ohio. Material Balance Assays were completed for the VA-1, I-2, R-109, OH-1, S-1-28, and OH-2 wells. Pyrolysis-GC Analysis has been completed on samples from the 0-1, VA-1, R-109, OH-1, and S-1-28 wells. The data are supportive of the Material Balance Assay. Gross lithology has been completed on samples from the R-109, OH-1, S-1-28, and WV-5 wells. Results for the R-109, OH-1 and WV-5 wells indicate that the samples are 100% shale. The results for the S-1-28 well, however, indicate dolomite dominance in the interval from 1500 to 1580 feet.
