Mammoth Geo Inc., Barrackville, W. Va., has completed a
project for the BDM Corp. under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy's
Morgantown Energy Technology Center.
Mammoth Geo's work consisted of structure contour mapping,
rock pressure contour mapping, lineament density contour mapping, surface
joint mapping, U-2 color infrared imagery lineament mapping for six
quadrangles and 20,000 ft of dual depth Earth Resistivity Profiling Surveys
(ERPS) across suspected natural fracture zones.
The ERPS were used to detect, map and delineate suspected
natural fractures seen on the remote sensing imagery. The data collected by
Mammoth Geo was part of the data collected by BDM and the Department of
Energy and used in the selection of an experimental directional well now
being drilled in southern West Virginia.
The directional well, known as the 1 BDM/DOE/Energer/RET,
will run horizontally through the Devonian Upper Huron Shale for up to 2000
ft.
