This report's objectives is to characterize its lower-permeability gas-bearing formations for inclusion in the Gas Research Institute tight gas sands program. The characterized reservoir units include a summary of the regional geologic setting, hydrocarbon distribution and production, exploration activity and pipeline availability.
