Title: Geologic controls on reservoir properties in gas-bearing middle and Upper Devonian rocks, southern Appalachian basin

Conference · · AAPG Bull.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5787437

Porosities and permeabilities have been measured for a wide range of nonfractured Devonian lithologies in 23 wells from southeastern Ohio, eastern Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia. These reservoir properties can be related directly to the geometry of the pore system. Pore geometry, in turn, is a function of rock lithology and mineralogy. Despite the lithologic complexity of the Devonian sequence, reservoir quality can be related to a small number of differing pore geometries.
