In this paper, the authors develop a new method involving crushed core samples to measure porosity and fluid content accurately in the black, organic-rich Devonian shales in the Appalachian basin. In the four wells studied, average core bulk volume of gas and porosity ranged to 4% and 8%, respectively, values substantially higher than previously reported.
