A pilot study was made to relate Devonian shale gas well production to distance from photo lineaments that were mapped at two different scales, namely low altitude (1:24,000) and intermediate altitude (1:62,500). Cumulative production after 5 years for 41 wells located in the Vicco quadrangle of Perry Co., Kentucky, were used in the study. A statistical two-way analysis of variance design was used to group the data into four classes depending on whether the producing wells were within or beyond 300 feet of a photo lineament derived from both scales. Results indicate that cumulative 5-year production is higher for wells sited within 300 feet of a low-altitude photo lineament. The correlations evidenced in this study indicate a narrow zone of influence or effect for the geologic feature represented by the photo lineament. Moreover, the most consistently effective features are derived from low-altitude (1:24,000) scale photography, well below the detail most commonly utilized in studies to date.
