1. MAPPING AND VISUALIZING “DOLOMITE CHIMNEYS” J. R. WOOD MICHIGAN TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

2. ORDOVICIAN PRODUCTION IN MICHIGAN CHARACTERIZED BY ELONGATE, LINEAR FIELDS TRENDING NW-SE PRIMARY PRODUCTION FROM TRENTON-BLACK RIVER FMS. FRACTURING AND SUBSEQUENT SECONDARY DOLOMITIZATION HAVE DEVELOPED IRREGULAR POROSITY ZONES MOST FRACTURE ZONES OCCUR ON FLANKS OF MAJOR STRUCTURES TRENDING NORTH OR NORTHWEST AVERAGE PAY APPROX. 60 FT. FIELDS USUALLY HAVE GAS CAP & SOLUTION GAS DRIVE SOURCE: OIL & GAS FIELDS SYMPOSIUM, MICHIGAN BASIN GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY

3. DEEP RIVER FIELD MIDDLE DEVONIAN DOLOMITES PRODUCES FROM “ANOMALOUS” SECONDARY DOLOMITE 5.5 MI. LINEAR TREND - STRIKES N 60 W, 1/2 MI. WIDE ZONE CUTS ACROSS DEEP RIVER DOME REED CITY & DETROIT RIVER PRODUCTION

5. POSSIBLE MODEL FOR MICHIGAN “CHIMNEYS”

6. POSSIBLE MODEL FOR MICHIGAN KARSTIFICATION

7. CONCLUSIONS KARSTIFICATION & DOLOMITIZATION ARE PRIMARY PROCESSES IN MICHIGAN RESERVOIRS RESERVOIR-SCALE FRACTURES CAN BE RELIABLY MAPPED USING CONVENTIONAL DRILLER’S REPORTS GIS SOFTWARE (e.g. ArcView) FACILITATES RE-MAPPING
