The West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey (WVGES) conducted a Geologic Evaluation of Critical Production Parameters for Coalbed Methane Resources in the Northern Appalachian Coal Basin.'' During the initial phase of the project, the authors examined thousands of old drillers' logs in a search for gas production and gas shows from coalbeds between the Sewickley coal (Monongahela Group) and the base of the Pottsville Group. In this regional approach to this project, they attempted to correlate these coals throughout a narrow elliptical area extending from the Pennsylvania border to Calhoun County using cable tool drillers' records and wire-line log character. In their field-scale task, they attempted to relate gas production to geologic parameters in Wetzel County where gas has been produced from the Pittsburgh and Sewickley coals in a half-dozen small areas. This report focuses on geologic parameters and production data gathered from the two largest productive areas, the Big Run and Pine Grove fields. The report describes field histories, geologic structures, stratigraphy, and gas occurrence and production.
