This paper discusses results of the study of Appalachian basin Devonian shale which show that all porosity exceeding 2.5% is occupied by free hydrocarbon (mostly gas). From analyses of logs and 519 ft of conventional core in four wells, reservoir porosity averages 5% and free-gas content averages 2% by bulk volume.
