An analysis of the relationship between Devonian Shale gas well productivity in Putnam County, WV and the orientation of, distance to, and density of the nearest photolineament (at scales of 1:32000 and 1:86000) was performed using primarily nonparametric statistical techniques. The results indicate that production is higher within 1300 feet of a low altitude photolineament. There is no association between the orientation of the lineament and productivity. Results on photolineament density are inconclusive. These results appear to be confirmed by the analysis of the DuPont EL-836 explosive tests, which also indicate a statistically significant increase in open flow over conventional shooting.
