Description
This report summarizes the procedures and results of the shale characterization program conducted on core samples recovered from various wells. WFT Labs conducted analyses on the shale samples. The goals of this project were to assess reservoir properties at the various locations.
Many of the values presented in this report are time specific. For instance, references to gas content and gas composition are valid on the date the reservoir was sampled. These properties may have been affected by fluid production from the study well, offset wells, or drainage by mining activities since the samples were collected. - Introduction,
