Partial data on the characterization of shales from Well P-1 (Sullivan County, Indiana) were presented in the Fifth Quarterly Technical Progress Report on The Characterization of Devonian Shale to DOE/METC (ORO-5205). This individual well report presents and discusses the total characterization data available on P-1 shales. Coring of the shale samples were accomplished in September, 1976. A total of 17 samples were obtained: 11 for Battelle and six for other DOE contractors. P-1 well exhibited relatively high hydrocarbon gas contents compared to other wells. Average hydrocarbon gas contents surrounding the free space in the canasters is about 61 percent of the total gases (including air). Methane and ethane make up the bulk of total hydrocarbons. Chemical characterization data (carbon and hydrogen contents) relate well with the hydrocarbon gas content, as do the bulk densities among the physical characterization data.
