Abstract

The computed tomography (CT) facilities at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) Morgantown, West Virginia site were used to characterize core of the Tuscarora Sandstone from a vertical well in Preston County WV, the Preston-119 from a depth of 7,165 to 7,438 ft. The primary impetus of this work is a collaboration between West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey (WVGES) and NETL to characterize core from multiple wells to better understand the geologic framework of key stratigraphic units in West Virginia. As part of this effort, bulk scans of core were obtained from the Pres-119 well, provided by the WVGES. This report, and the associated scans generated, provide detailed datasets not typically available for researchers to analyze. This dataset contains CT scan images collected from the cores obtained from Clay 513, Harrison 79, and Preston 119 wells. Additional processing of the CT scan data from Preston 119 well is performed to semi-quantitatively assess fracture volume. These results are summarized in figures, and spreadsheets. Software Requirement Note: Free software may be required to view some of the information provided. Software used for data analysis include ilastik, FIJI and ImageJ2.

Deep Direct-Use Feasibility Study Reservoir Productivity Uncertainty Analysis for the Tuscarora Sandstone, Morgantown, WV

Dataset Smith, Jared

This dataset contains figures that summarize the Tuscarora Sandstone core permeability data collected from the Preston 119 well in Preston County, WV, and summary results of a stochastic analysis that was used to estimate reservoir productivity for the currently unexplored Tuscarora Sandstone below Morgantown, West Virginia. Uncertainties in reservoir productivity considered the thickness of the reservoir, rock permeability, and fluid viscosity. A Monte Carlo analysis of these uncertain properties was used to predict reservoir flow productivity for the case of a matrix-dominated reservoir, and a fracture-dominated reservoir. These results are summarized in figures, spreadsheets, and maps.
Deep Direct-Use Feasibility Study Tuscarora Sandstone Geophysical Log Digitization

Dataset Moore, Jessica

This dataset contains well log files collected from wells penetrating the Tuscarora Sandstone, structural geologic map of West Virginia and salinity information based on brine geochemistry in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. A combination of proprietary and free software may be required to view some of the information provided. Software used for data analysis and figure creation include ESRI ArcGIS. For GIS map files, you will have to change the directories of the files to match your computer. LAS files were digitized using IHS Petra software, but may be viewed in Microsoft Notepad, or converted to .csv files in Microsoft Excel.
Deep Direct-Use Feasibility Study Estimation of Reservoir Properties for the Tuscarora Sandstone

Dataset McDowell, Ronald

This dataset contains black-and-white photographic images of individual core segments from well Preston 119 and photomicrographs taken of petrographic thin sections from well Clay 513. Minipermeameter measurement results of 2,260 samples for fracture and matrix permeability on core segments for well Preston 119. These results are summarized in figures, spreadsheets, and PowerPoints. Microsoft Excel will be necessary to examine the permeability data and software capable of reading a .PDF file will be needed to view the file of annotated core CT scans. Microsoft Powerpoint will be necessary to view the photomicrograph presentation.

Development of 3D Geological Model of Tuscarora Sandstone for Feasibility of Deep Direct-Use Geothermal at West Virginia University Main Campus

Dataset Moore, Jessica ; McCleery, R. Scott ; Carr, Timothy ; ...

The subsurface uncertainty at West Virginia University Main Campus is dominated by the uncertainty in the projections of geofluid flowrate in the target formation, the Tuscarora Sandstone. In this paper, three cores from the heterogeneous reservoir, available through West Virginia Geologic and Economic Survey, are analyzed by performing core analysis using CT scanning and permeability measurements via minipermeameter. Additional geological data are collected through cores, published literature, seismic data, and nearby, existing wells to estimate thickness, fracture network configuration and geothermal gradient to minimize the uncertainty of well deliverability. Using these estimated reservoir properties; a 3D conceptual model for themore »« less
