Tables |

The following tables are provided as Microsoft Office Excel (.xls) files. Table 1. Total organic carbon (TOC) in weight percent and RockEval data for Silurian samples collected from the subsurface of New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia (data are listed by State, County, Township, well, and top depth) Table 2. Total organic carbon (TOC) in weight percent and RockEval data for Silurian samples collected from the subsurface of New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia (data are listed in approximate stratigraphic order) |

Figures |

The following figures within the PDF report are too large to be printed on 8.5 by 11 inch paper. Figure 1. Map showing the distribution of oil and gas fields in Silurian reservoirs in the Appalachian basin of Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia (45 by 35 inches) Figure 2. Correlation chart of Middle and Upper Ordovician, Silurian, and Lower and Middle Devonian rocks in Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia showing intervals sampled for total organic carbon (TOC) and RockEval analysis (45 by 35 inches) Figure 3. Location of wells in the Appalachian basin where Silurian rocks were sampled for this study (45 by 35 inches) Figure 4. Location of wells in the Appalachian basin where Silurian rocks were sampled for this study. Also shown are total organic carbon (TOC) values in weight percent in derived from the samples (45 by 35 inches) Figure 5. Histogram showing total organic carbon (TOC) values in weight percent for Silurian rocks sampled in this study (30 by 45 inches) Figure 6. Map showing the location of wells in the Appalachian basin where rock samples (cuttings) were collected from the Lower Silurian Cabot Head Shale, Rochester Shale, and Rose Hill Formation. Also shown are total organic carbon (TOC) values in weight percent derived from the samples (45 by 35 inches) Figure 7. Map showing the location of wells in the Appalachian basin where rock samples (cuttings) were collected from the Lower and Upper Silurian McKenzie Limestone and Lockport Dolomite and the Upper Silurian Eramosa Dolomite of the Lockport Group. Also shown are total organic carbon (TOC) values in weight percent derived from the samples (45 by 35 inches) Figure 8. Map showing the location of wells in the Appalachian basin where rock samples (cuttings and core) were collected from the Upper Silurian Salina Group (including the Vernon Shale, Syracuse Salt, and Camillus Shale), Wills Creek Formation, Tonoloway Limestone, and Bass Islands Dolomite. Also shown are total organic carbon (TOC) values in weight percent derived from the samples. In addition, the extent of Salina Group halite deposits is shown (45 by 35 inches) |
