- Summary
- This edition of the WGSP Status Report summarizes the progress during July, 1978, of the government-sponsored projects directed toward increasing gas production from the low-permeability gas sands of the western United States. Background information is provided in the September 1977 Status Report, NVO/0655-100. On-site personnel were provided by CER Corporation to assist in coring and logging the Joseph J.C. Paine well located in Valley County, Montana. The information gathered was the first for the WGSP Coring and Logging Programs. The DOE test trailer was moved to Grand Junction, Colorado and then to the MHF 3 well site for trial runs and checkout of the test equipment. The USGS continued work on characterization and assessment of the resource in the four primary study areas. The National Laboratories and Technology Centers are continuing activities toward the development of mathematical modeling, new tools and instrumentation systems, data analysis and rock mechanics. Field tests and demonstrations in the WGSP continued. Mitchell Energy Corporation had reached 9,160 ft in their Muse-Duke well No. 1, and Mobil Research and Development Corporation fractured zones 6 and 7 (8,443--8,650 ft and 8,173--8,372 ft) in the PCU 31-13 well.
