Woodbine Formation East Texas Basin

 The reservoir properties of the Woodbine Formation are well known. Production from a number of reservoirs gives us a view of the sandstone properties and fluid behavior within the system (for example, Galloway and others, 1983, p. 5464). This long production history is one of the reasons for selection of this brine formation for characterization. One scenario proposed for reuse of oil and gas infrastructure (pipelines or pipeline right-of-way, wells, mineral rights) would be use of abandoned reservoirs for CO2 storage. Severe pressure depletion because of historic production practices in Woodbine field might increase CO2 storage capacity.   Main site   http://www.beg.utexas.edu/environqlty/co2seq/co2data.htm

Repetto Formation Los Angeles Basin

 There is an abundance of basic lithologic and fluid data from this stratigraphic unit as a potential target for CO2 injection. The trapping mechanism for Repetto fields is dominantly structural, with many fields occurring on anticlines and in overturned strata along fault zones (Yeats and Beall, 1991). Secondary hydrocarbon accumulations occur in stratigraphic traps where deep-sea fan deposits pinch out in mudstones (Redin, 1991)   Main site    http://www.beg.utexas.edu/environqlty/co2seq/co2data.htm

An overview of Some Key Factors Controlling Well Productivity in Core Areas of the Appalachian Basin Marcellus Shale Play

 The Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale is one of the premier gas shale plays of North America in terms of total gas resource, extent, production rates, and economic potential. The organic-rich shale of the Marcellus was deposited in a foreland basin setting that was sediment starved and allowed for accumulation and preservation of the organic material. The Marcellus Shale Formation is positioned in the lower portion of the Hamilton Group, which is bounded above by the Middle Devonian Tully Limestone and below by the Lower Devonian Onondaga Limestone. The Upper and Lower Marcellus Shale are divided by the Cherry Valley/Purcell Limestone.

Moving Alaska Gas from Canada to the Lower 48

  What would happen to Alaska's natural gas once it reaches the end of the proposed pipeline, 1,700 miles from Prudhoe Bay?    The gas would flow into a vast network of Canadian and U.S. pipelines assembled over the past 60 years.    Some key components of that network were built or expanded in the early 1980s in anticipation of Alaska gas starting to flow back then. Those components went into service without Alaska gas and helped Canada double its natural gas exports to the United States in the 1980s, then double them again in the 1990s.    In all, the entire network today can move 15 billion to 20 billion cubic feet a day of natural gas, roughly three to four times the volume the Alaska pipeline would deliver to the British Columbia-Alberta border northwest of Edmonton.    Of course, the network still moves billions of cubic feet of gas daily. But the volume it handles has been declining, leaving room for Alaska gas, and even if the flow is relatively flush when the Alaska pipeline is finished, the network's capacity could be expanded. No longer is there serious talk of needing a pipeline stretching all the way from Prudhoe Bay to Chicago.    But why end the Alaska pipeline near the B.C.-Alberta border as opposed to somewhere else?    The answer is simple: Three major North American gas pipeline systems converge there, in the heart of some of Canada's hottest natural gas plays.

Pipeline Route is Probed to Detail Environmental Impacts

 Squads of scientists this summer have joined the caribou and Dall sheep, eiders and eagles, moose and muskrat, salmon and grayling that inhabit the proposed natural gas pipeline route through Alaska.   The scientists are there to catalog, cross-check and verify the exact nature of that route - from the animals to the permafrost and faults - before the first trench can be carved for the major pipeline from Alaska through Canada.

WV Public Lands - National Forest Boundaries

 This data was developed by the United States Forest Service, and is frequently updated as boundaries are corrected or adjusted. There are several datasets available, each clipped to different extents or containing unique information. Each is described below:    National Forest Proclamation Boundaries, 2004. This data has been clipped to the West Virginia boundary and contains the full extents of lands within the Monongahela, George Washington and the Jefferson National Forests. Since these are proclamation boundaries, the forest service does not own all land within the boundary, but may operate within the area.    National Forest Surface Ownership Boundaries, 2005. These files contain polygons of the lands within the proclamation boundaries of each forest that the USFS actually owns and/or manages.    National Forests of the Surrounding Region, 2004. These files are the complete boundaries of the National Forests that abut or are proximal to West Virginia.

LOW INTERFACIAL TENSION AND MISCIBILITY STUDIES FOR SURFACTANT TERTIARY ENHANCED OIl RECOVERY PROCESSES

The effects of temperature and of divalent ion concentration on the structure of aqueous surfactant solutions have been determined. As temperature increases, the salinity range where liquid crystalline phases exist is narrowed. At sufficiently high temperatures the liquid crystal "melts" and only isotropic phases are observed. These are an aqueous phase and, when partial immiscibility of alcohol and brine occurs, an alcohol rich phase as well. The effect of divalent ions on aqueous solution structure is basically the same as that of monovalent ions, but smaller quantities of divalent ions are needed to bring about the same phase changes. In the particular system studied addition of one mole of Ca+ was equivalent to addition of about 11.5 moles of Na+. We have extended our model of drop size in microemulsions to include the effect of drop dispersion. A hard sphere model was used to describe dispersion effects. With dispersion, drop size is slightly smaller for both oil-continuous and water-continuous microemulsions than predicted by the previous analysis which considered film properties alone.

WV Miscellaneous Transportation USFS CFF

 A Cartographic Feature File (CFF) is a digital data file containing a vector representation of the point and line features shown on a Forest Service Primary Base Series (PBS) map. The feature categories contained in the CFF are transportation (roads and trails), streams and water bodies, political and administrative boundaries, land ownership, and other cultural features. Elevation contours, vegetation, and text (geographic names, labels, etc.) are not included in the CFF. CFFs are formatted according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle convention: 1:24,000-scale, 7.5-minutes latitude by 7.5-minutes longitude format. CFFs provide a consistent base set of geographic features for use in Forest Service geographic information systems (GIS). CFFs can be used individually or joined to form larger project areas. CFFs are also used as the source for the automated production of PBS maps.

WV Digital Elevation Dataset 30-meter NED

  The National Elevation Dataset (NED) is a new raster product assembled by the U.S. Geological Survey. The NED is a seamless mosaic of best-available elevation data with a consistent datum, elevation unit, and projection. Data corrections were made in the NED assembly process to minimize artifacts, perform edge matching, and fill sliver areas of missing data. One of the effects of the NED processing steps is a much-improved base of elevation data for calculating slope and hydrologic derivatives.    Older DEM's produced by methods that are now obsolete are filtered during the NED assembly process to minimize artifacts that are commonly found in data produced by these methods. NED processing also includes steps to adjust values where adjacent DEM's do not match well, and to fill sliver areas of missing data between DEM's. These processing steps ensure that NED has no void areas and artificial discontinuities have been minimized. In cases where 7.5-minute DEM's have 10-meter resolution, the original source data will be at a higher resolution than the NED. In 1999 the Canaan Valley Institute and WVGISTC published the ERDAS IMAGINE mosaic. In 2002 the WV DEP published an ArcGrid mosaic that eliminated the noise artifact associated with hillshaded images. The WV DEP elevation grid was merged into a single block, reprojected using bilinear interpolation to a 30M cell size and cropped using a state boundary grid that was buffered outward 1km. The WV DEP elevation grid data was then rounded to the nearest integer value to reduce the file size.

WV Digital Elevation Models USGS 3-meter - 2003

  These DEMs consist of an array of elevations for ground positions at regularly spaced 3-meter intervals. They were created from mass points and breaklines collected as part of the Statewide Addressing and Mapping Board's mission. DEMs based on 24K scale quadrangle boundaries are available for download from the State Data Clearinghouse or offsite from the USGS Seamless Data Distribution System, 1/9th Arc Second, Natonal Elevation Dataset.    The Statewide Addressing and Mapping Board (SAMB) contracted BAE SYSTEMS ADR to create a stereo photogrammetric-derived DTM from statewide spring 2003 aerial photography to support vertical elevation accuracies of +- 10 feet. The SAMB required its Project Management Team (Michael Baker Jr, Inc.) to perform independent quality assurance in order to certify final product acceptance. Baker used NSSDA automated and visual tests of attribute accuracy, logical consistency, completeness, and adherence to SAMB project data specifications. Using mass points and breaklines provided by the SAMB, the West Virginia GIS Technical Center worked in conjunction with the United States Geologic Survey to create raster elevation data at 3 meter (1/9th arc second) resolution compliant with National Elevation Dataset standards. Detailed information about the conversion process can be found HERE.

Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Interactive Mapping Portal

 TDEC is continuously striving to create better business practices through GIS and one way that we have found to provide information and answer some question is utilizing an interactive map. An interactive map is a display of geospatial data that allows you to manipulate and query the contents to get the information needed using a set of provided tools. Interactive maps are created using GIS software, and then distributed to users, usually over a computer network.   The TDEC Land and Water interactive map will allow you to do simple tasks such as pan, zoom, measure and find a lat/long, while also giving you the capability of running simple queries to locate land and waters by name, entity, and number. With the ability to turn off and on back ground images such as aerial imagery (both black and white as well as color), we hope that you can find much utility in the tools provided.

National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project - Appalachian Basin 067 Quarter-Mile Cells

 Cell maps for each oil and gas assessment unit were created by the USGS as a method for illustrating the degree of exploration, type of production, and distribution of production in an assessment unit or province. Each cell represents a quarter-mile square of the land surface, and the cells are coded to represent whether the wells included within the cell are predominantly oil-producing, gas-producing, both oil and gas-producing, dry, or the type of production of the wells located within the cell is unknown. The well information was initially retrieved from the IHS Energy Group, PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data on CD-ROM, which is a proprietary, commercial database containing information for most oil and gas wells in the U.S. Cells were developed as a graphic solution to overcome the problem of displaying proprietary PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data. No proprietary data are displayed or included in the cell maps. The data from PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data were current as of October 2001 when the cell maps were created in 2002.

Novel catalytic methods for heteroatom removal in coal liquids upgrading.

The goal of this project is to optimize the reaction conditions for upgrading coal liquids. Our results for this quarter are summarized: Last quarter we found that H/sub 2/S aids in the HDN process. During this quarter, we have undertaken an H/sub 2/S concentration study on this reaction and found a direct correlation between the amount of added H/sub 2/S and the reduction in nitrogen content. For comparison, we also used H/sub 2/O and Na/sub 2/S as additives; however, neither appears to be as effective as H/sub 2/S in the HDN process. We initiated syntheses of some organometallic molybdenum cluster complexes (Mo/sub 2/(OAc)/sub 4/ and cluster complexes Mo/sub 2/(allyl)/sub 4/) and have reacted these complexes with an alumina support. Preliminary tests reveal that these complexes have, as expected, less hydrogenation activity than the activated CoMo catalyst. However, we have not yet tested them for HDN activities. We began experiments on the addition of added Bronsted acids (C/sub 3/FCOOH) to the reaction system. So far, the results have been promising and indicate a direct correlation between the amount of added acid and the amount of HDN activity. 3 references, 1 figure, 2 tables.
