Book excerpt: "The following report details an analysis of Devonian shale reservoirs in Meigs County as part of a five-county study conducted from late 1985 through 1988 for the Gas Research Institute. The final project report was completed in November 1988. The overall objective of this research was to provide a standardized and usable Devonian shale database. The data included subsurface stratigraphy, well drilling, completion and production information, which would be useful to the industry for natural gas resource analyses and also to Ohio citizens and landowners. ... Currently, horizontal drilling for Devonian shale resources is in its early and largely unproven stages. This shallow-subsurface geologic data also can be utilized indirectly to assist resource and structural analyses of deeper subsurface horizons. Since this report was compiled in 1986, approximately 80 wells have been drilled to the Ohio Shale in Meigs County. However, the manuscript has not been updated with these new wells, as it was determined that an update would not significantly change the maps and results of the study. Revised paleontological work reported in Pennsylvania (Harper, 1993) has resulted in moving the Devonian-Mississippian boundary to the top of the Berea Sandstone. We have not implemented this change in this report. With that stated, the maps, results, and data are made available for resource and structural assessment, both shallow and deep, and for information to interested landowners and the public at large."--Preface.
