Description
This dataset contains well log files collected from wells penetrating the Tuscarora Sandstone, structural geologic map of West Virginia and salinity information based on brine geochemistry in West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
A combination of proprietary and free software may be required to view some of the information provided. Software used for data analysis and figure creation include ESRI ArcGIS. For GIS map files, you will have to change the directories of the files to match your computer. LAS files were digitized using IHS Petra software, but may be viewed in Microsoft Notepad, or converted to .csv files in Microsoft Excel.
