O'Connor, P G; Goodrich, J H

This researh effort calls for the production evaluation of 14 to 21 shale gas wells in selected areas where geologic factors are known to be favorable. The objective of this contract work is to test for gas production in geologic target regions identified by EGSP geology team data from the Devonian shale in the Appalachian Basin. This effort will be part of the Department of Energy (DOE) Eastern Gas Shales Project (EGSP). The objective of the EGSP is to determine the gas reserves within the Devonian shale, thoroughly characterize the shale, and to improve the technology of gas exploration and production thereby stimulating natural gas production in these basins. Specifically, the contractor shall test for gas production in selected areas of the Appalachian, Illinois, and Michigan Basins by stimulating and evaluating the Devonian shale.
