The primary objective of this GRI-funded project was to assess the total solution-methane resource in place in the geopressured zone along the Louisiana Gulf Coast. Other objectives included defining regional geothermal corridors, identifying potential geothermal test-well sites, and providing technical support for the U.S. Department of Energy geopressured-geothermal well-of-opportunity and designed-well programs. The data base assembled for this study consists of a grid of regional dip and strike electrical-log cross sections, porosity/permeability data from core analyses and reservoir tests, salinity calculations from logs, pressure determinations from shale-resistivity plots, and temperature from bottom-hole recordings on logs. Total bulk volume of sandstone reservoir in the geopressured zone was calculated from net-sandstone maps derived from the cross sections.
