Three important results have been determined based on extensive core analyses on 539 feet of conventional core recovered from four comprehensive study wells in the Devonian shale in the Appalachian area, and based on new methods of core analyses developed. First, relatively high values of porosity and free gas space are present, especially in the black organic rich shales. Second, gas permeabilities have been measured for the first time at native fluid saturations and at in situ pressure. Third, a new method of deriving kerogen content has been developed using geochemistry measurements of total organic carbon and rock pyrolysis. Results show kerogen content is significantly higher than that derived from thin-section petrography, which is the analytical method normally used, by about 50% in the kerogen-rich rocks.
