Appalachian Oil and Natural Gas Research Consortium

This “Geologic Play Book for Utica Shale Appalachian Basin Exploration” (hereafter referred to as the “Utica Shale Play Book Study” or simply “Study”) represents the results of a two-year research effort by workers in five different states with the financial support of fifteen oil and gas industry partners. The Study was made possible through a coordinated effort between the Appalachian Basin Oil & Natural Gas Research Consortium (AONGRC) and the West Virginia University Shale Research, Education, Policy and Economic Development Center.

Appalachian basin architecture during Middle Ordovician time was dominated by a Black River ramp to the northwest flanked by the central Appalachian basin along its southeast margin, with the deeper Sevier basin still farther to the east and southeast. The ramp margin, which marked the western edge of the central Appalachian basin, was in the approximate location of the western edge of the Rome trough. Black River carbonate rocks were deposited on this broad, stable, shallow-water ramp as epeiric seas transgressed much of what is now the Appalachian region, while thick, shaley carbonates were being deposited within the trough-influenced foredeep …
