U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 98-216


Appendix R

Mantua/Shalersville gas field (Ma/Sh)

Location: Portage (Mantua and Shalersville Twps.) County, Ohio
Discovery date: 1961
Depth (ft): ~4,200
Hydrocarbon type and GOR: Gas and associated oil
Structural setting: Regional southeast-dipping homocline
Stratigraphic name of reservoir: "Clinton" sands
Trap: Stratigraphic; no recognizable updip pinchout of sandstone reservoirs
Porosity: F ave = 7.6%, range 5.8 to 9.8%
Permeability: K = 0.011 mD
Natural fractures:  
Diagenetic features:  
Water saturation and volume/salinity of produced water: Sw (ave) = 30%, range 18 to 40%; Salinity = 319,638 ppm, sample number=1
Gas/water and oil/water contacts: None reported but oil accumulation seems to be associated with the thickest sandstone reservoirs
Reservoir pressure:  
Bottom-hole temperature:  
Well spacing: 40 to 160 acres
Ultimate production (EUR per well): 95th percentile (F95) = 12 MMCF of gas, 50th percentile (F50) = 84 MMCF of gas, 5th percentile (F5) = 240 MMCF of gas, sample number = 65
