This report summarizes the results of five years'effort directed toward understanding the importance of geologic structure to Devonian gas production in eastern Kentucky and West Virginia. This study was designed to: (1) collect, compile, and analyze geologic data to construct regional structural maps of eastern Kentucky and West Virginia; (2) determine if structural types and styles affect production, and determine if minor structures, as mapped in outcrop, could influence production characteristics; (3) determine if shallow seismic surveys can detect near-surface faults and fracture zones, and if such structures can be detected, to further determine how fractures relate to both production from the shale and to lineations observed on remotely sensed data; (4) determine if a relationship exists between ground water movement and shale gas productivity. The report is composed of four sections: organization of final report; summary of results; overview of project; and project bibliography.
