Bulletin 19 of the Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources
COMMISSION OF MARYLAND GEOLOGICAL SURVEY S. JAMES CAMPBELL Towson RICHARD W. COOPER Salisbury JOHN C. GEYER Baltimore ROBERT C. HARVEY Frostburg M. GORDON WOLMAN Baltimore PREFACE In 1906 the Maryland Geological Survey published a report on "The Physical Features of Maryland", which was mainly an account of the geology and min- eral resources of the State. It included a brief outline of the geography, a more extended description of the physiography, and chapters on the soils, climate, hydrography, terrestrial magnetism and forestry. In 1918 the Survey published a report on "The Geography of Maryland", which covered the same fields as the earlier report, but gave only a brief outline of the geology and added chap- ters on the economic geography of the State. Both of these reports are now out of print. Because of the close relationship of geography and geology and the overlap in subject matter, the two reports were revised and combined into a single volume and published in 1957 as Bulletin 19 of the Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources. The Bulletin has been subsequently reprinted in 1961 and 1966. Some revisions in statistical data were made in the 1961 and 1968 reprints. Certain sections of the Bulletin were extensively revised by Dr. Jona- than Edwards in this 1974 reprint. The Introduction, Mineral Resources, Soils and Agriculture, Seafood Industries, Commerce and Transportation and Manu- facturing chapters of the book have received the most revision and updating. The chapter on Geology and Physiography was not revised. This report has been used extensively in the schools of the State, and the combination of Geology and Geography in one volume allows greater latitude in adapting it to use as a reference or textbook at various school levels.

The Marcellus Shale: Erosional Boundary and Production Analysis, Southern West Virginia, U.S.A
THE MARCELLUS SHALE: EROSIONAL BOUNDARY AND PRODUCTION ANALYSIS, SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA, U.S.A. by Mallory Stevenson November, 2015 Director of Thesis: Dr. Donald W. Neal Major Department: Geological Sciences The Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale is a natural gas producing formation that was deposited in the Appalachian foreland basin in what is now eastern North America. An unconformity truncates the Marcellus in southern West Virginia and progressively younger units onlap progressively older units. The zero isopach line that marks the edge of the Marcellus is mapped to reveal the southeastern boundary. A well production analysis is conducted to locate the region of maximum natural gas production. Four lithologic completions intervals in three different well fields are compared. This study shows that the most economically viable drilling is from the Marcellus Shale completion intervals that are less than 30 feet in Chapmanville gas field in western Logan County, West Virginia. Outside of the zero isopach are areas comprised of onlapping featheredges of younger formations that comprise a black shale unit mistakenly identified as “Marcellus Shale.” These areas produce significantly less gas than the “true” Marcellus Shale.

Lithostratigraphy and Petrophysics of the Devonian Marcellus Interval in West Virginia and Southwestern Pennsylvania
October 18, 2009 Lithostratigraphy and Petrophysics of the Devonian Marcellus Interval in West Virginia and Southwestern Pennsylvania Boyce, Matthew L Dept of Geology and Geography West Virginia University 98 Beechurst Ave, 330 Brooks Hall Morgantown, WV 26505 E-mail: [email protected] Carr, Timothy R Marshall Miller Professor of Geology West Virginia University 98 Beechurst Ave, 330 Brooks Hall Morgantown, WV 26505 Abstract In the Appalachian basin, the Middle Devonian organic-rich shale interval, including the Marcellus Shale, is an important target for exploration. This unconventional gas reservoir is widespread across the basin and has the potential to produce large volumes of gas (estimated to have up to 1,307 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas). Although the Middle Devonian organic- rich shale interval has significant economic potential, stratigraphic distribution, depositional patterns and petrophysical characteristics have not been adequately characterized in the subsurface. Based on log characteristics, tied to core information, the lithostratigraphic boundaries of the Marcellus and associated units were established and correlated throughout West Virginia and southwestern Pennsylvania. Digital well logs (LAS files) were used to generate estimates of lithology and to identify zones of higher gas content across the study area. In addition, a lithologic solution was calibrated to X-ray Diffraction (XRD) data. Using previous studies on organic shale, relationships between the natural radioactivity (as measured by the gamma-ray log) were incorporated with techniques to identify gas-prone intervals. The comparison between the Uranium content and the measured bulk density identified intervals in the Marcellus with high gas saturations and were used to generate an approach to correct water saturations.

EIA author contact: Dr. Olga Popova Email: [email protected] U.S. Energy Information Administration | Updates to the Marcellus Shale Play Maps i January 2017 Introduction The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is adding and updating geologic information and maps of the major tight oil and shale gas plays for the continental United States. This document outlines updated information and maps for the Marcellus play of the Appalachian basin. The geologic features characterized and updated since the 2011 Marcellus shale play map include contoured elevation of the top of formation (structure), contoured thickness (isopach), paleogeography elements, and tectonic structures (regional faults and folds etc.), as well as play boundaries, well location, and initial wellhead yields (oil-to gas-ratios) of wells producing from January 2000 through December 2016. These geologic elements are documented and integrated into a series of maps. The Marcellus play map consists of layers of geologic and production information that users can view either as separate thematic maps (such as Figure 1) or as interactive layers of the U.S.
