Borehole gravity survey to determine density variations in the Devonian shale sequence of Lincoln County, West Virginia

In situ bulk densities of the Devonian shale section penetrated by the Columbia Gas Transmission Corp. 20402 well, Lincoln County, West Virginia, were determined using the U.S. Geological Survey-LaCoste and Romberg/sup 2/ borehole gravity meter. Densities from two gamma-gamma logs, run by different companies, were also available. A cumulative difference of .034 g/cm/sup 3//1000 ft (.112 g/cm/sup 3//km) exists between the two gamma-gamma logs. The two intervals of lowest density derived from the borehole gravity data show higher densities on both gamma-gamma logs, possibly indicative of the deeper investigation radius of the borehole gravity meter. In most intervals, higher gamma-ray intensity correlates with lower density, indicating that organic content is the primary variable affecting both bulk density and uranium concentration.
