Ok, I'll start the discussion:

Page 20 - High net TOC average

Page 22 - Highest ethane % (>17%)

Page 23 - NGL yield > 90bbl/mmcf

High BTU of  > 1350 BTU in western Beaver County

 

This applies to the Upper Devonian in addition to the Marcellus Shale.

 

Page 34 - McWreath well, Hanover TWP Wash County (Hanlon Station Rd - Paris, PA) Marcellus Test -- High TOC but very small pore size

"Effect on ability to produce NGL's"

 

Page 35 - Paris Sportsman's Club -- Larger pores but lower TOC

 

Page 36 - Bare Warren (next to Burgettstown High School)

 

Page 37 - Noss well -- Note larger concentration of large pore throats and lower TOC content.

Interesting Power Point..great find..looks like Markwest will get a lot of bussiness for the FOX complex..

Thanks Gary. I liked your first reply!
Here is something else I'd like to share with the landowners:

This is by Dr. Timothy Carr, PhD at WVU and geologist colleague from China.

Pay particular attention to the Productive Lithofacies Distribution and the landing point of the horizontal lateral wellbore within the Organic Siliceous Shale.
What's your take Gary?
Thanks, Todd

I my view if I understand what the report is getting at is that we ie: southern Beaver and Hancock counties are in a good spot due to the high organic content and the brittle rock..is that what you see?..I hope I understood what they are pointing out..

Gary,
Yes, it appears that what they are showing is that, even though our Marcellus is thinner, the sweet spot of the Marcellus, ie the Cherry Valley portion of our Marcellus, is condensed high quality rock (siliceous), contains valuable liquid hydrocarbons and is brittle enough to produce upon multi-stage hydraulic fracturing.
As you can see, I've been studying directly what the geologists are documenting without regard (to some extent) to their company holdings.
