Someone please explain what the colors mean...I am getting dizzy looking at this.

So its better to be in the Yellow-Green area. Which if true is fine by me.

Also what about the Venango Co. well next to us, what township is that in? The one with the arrow pointing at it? whare is that, it looks above the State Game Lands well theat Seneca drillid off Rt 8.

The colors are totally backwards. Normally Red stands for Gas, Blue for Water and Green for Oil. Here we have Red for Oil, Green for Gas.

Well... they aren't explicitly contouring or color coding the phase of hydrocarbon, or even maturity -  its just a depth map.  The dashed lines do follow a more conventional standard - green line is volatile oil, red is dry gas.

I will point out that the dashed lines do not exactly overlie the contour lines, but they're pretty close.

I would guess a lack of information - as you noted previously, depth is one component that affects maturity.  What this map says is in the dry gas window all other inputs are equal/constant... which is likely not the case.  Its probably a simplified model, especially considering they don't seem to have acreage nor wells planned in that region - doubt they spent too much time on that area.

Please note, this is all my opinion, not hard science!

What do the solid red lines signify?

looks like a roadway.

I agree, solid red lines looks like roadways.  In Venango, looks like oil city where the +/X shaped red lines cross, and Rt 11 running N/S in Ohio with that point/jog out near Youngstown.  Don;t seem to be just major roads, but random mix.

That's what I thought at first, but they don't seem to match any major routes.

Is it possible the red lines have to do with existing or proposed pipelines?

The solid red lines are where they have seismic data - which, consequently tend to run along the roads as that is the easiest place to shoot seismic (for the most part).

 

They show the red dots and red lines as the data behind the map so you can tell where their map is constrained and where it is extrapolated.  For example, take Beaver and Allegheny Cos, PA - neither has any data so there is likely more error associated with the map in those areas.

 

Hope that clarifies some.

Cheers!
