Deep Direct-Use Feasibility Study Reservoir Productivity Uncertainty Analysis for the Tuscarora Sandstone, Morgantown, WV

Description

This dataset contains figures that summarize the Tuscarora Sandstone core permeability data collected from the Preston 119 well in Preston County, WV, and summary results of a stochastic analysis that was used to estimate reservoir productivity for the currently unexplored Tuscarora Sandstone below Morgantown, West Virginia. Uncertainties in reservoir productivity considered the thickness of the reservoir, rock permeability, and fluid viscosity. A Monte Carlo analysis of these uncertain properties was used to predict reservoir flow productivity for the case of a matrix-dominated reservoir, and a fracture-dominated reservoir. These results are summarized in figures, spreadsheets, and maps.

57 Contains figures illustrating the permeability data collected from core measurements sampled from the Preston 119 well in Preston County, WV. Raw air permeability-depth data were provided by the West Virginia Geologic and Economic Survey (WVGES) https://gdr.openei.org/files/1191/Preston119_PermeabilityDataAnalysis.zip
57 Contains a shapefile of the Appalachian Basin reservoirs that were evaluated as potential geothermal reservoirs in the Geothermal Play Fairway Analysis of the Appalachian Basin (Camp et al., 2018; original shapefile from Cornell University, 2016). To this shapefile, a polygon for the Morgantown Tuscarora Sandstone was added. A figure of that polygon is provided. The attribute table for the shapefile is described in the Cornell University (2016) GDR submission and associated content links. https://gdr.openei.org/files/1191/AppalachianBasinReservoirShapefiles.zip
57 Contains the code used for analysis (modified from Whealton and Smith, 2015), input data, and output results for the reservoir productivity uncertainty analysis. https://gdr.openei.org/files/1191/TuscaroraReservoirProductivityAnalysis.zip
