>what are the black dots. >
The symbols represent the various wells used in the respective cross-sections A-A' throuugh K-K'. The solid black dot (at the beginning of A-A') represents an oil well. A solid black dot with eight "tic marks" around it reprersents a well which produces (or produced) oil and gas. The open circle "dot" with eight tic marks represents a gas well. The open circle with only four tic marks represents a dry hole (did not produce nor nor gas.) Hope this helps.

If one looks at the actual cross sections in this study, one notes that: a) None of the cross sections goes deep enough to indicate the Haynesville Shale. The Cotton Valley is the deepest formation shown on these cross sections. b) The further south one goes (towards central LA), all of the formations get much, much deeper than in northern LA.

This is a map of inline wells that were chosen for the study "what lies Beneith us" Each of these wells have a reference number that you can pull the burial histor on all the way to the louin salt and look at the geographical history of what is under that particular well by doing this they could map out nw la to set the boundries of these gas reserves. If you know exactly what you are looking at you tell where the shale goes from this data, what you cant tell is how much TOC is in that shale. Jay can explain it to you better. He has helped me on some questions.

What's this?
