In recent years, rising oil and natural gas prices spurred an increase in oil and gas drilling activity throughout Ohio, especially wells targeting Devonian shale in Ohio, an important oil and gas producing reservoir. Between 2000 and 2006, the number of wells targeting Ohio shale increased from 14 to 130. To meet the increase in demand for data on this type of shale, the ODNR Division of Geological Survey compiled and scanned all core records and analysis of this material into a single resource, The Ohio Compilation of Devonian Shale Data and Investigations, 10/2007. Data compiled includes information such as core descriptions, density, gas analysis, total organic content and various geo-chemical analyses that can be used to better identify the best areas for oil and gas potential. A Devonian shale production database was compiled that contains all available data through 2005. Pertinent publications about Devonian shale from the Gas Research Institute and U.S. Department of Energy were scanned and placed in a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet also includes an updated reference list of publications that discuss Devonian shale in Ohio. For further information, contact the Geologic Records Center.
Office of Inspector General mission is to help the Department and the American taxpayer by: --Identifying opportunities for cost savings and operational efficiencies in Department programs; and --Returning hard dollars to the Department and the U.S. Treasury as a result of Office of Inspector General civil and criminal investigations. In our service we have: --Assisted the Department, including the National Nuclear Security Administration, in identifying key management challenges such as the aging of the nuclear weapons complex infrastructure and the emerging human capital crisis; --Facilitated efforts to reform Department security, by identifying both systemic and situational vulnerabilities; --Annually audited the agency's financial statements, helping to ensure that the Department does that which every American business must do: balance its books; --Highlighted opportunities for reductions in overhead costs in environmental management and defense programs; --Investigated and helped bring to justice those who have committed crimes against the Department, with recent special emphasis on cyber crimes at an agency which owns and operates some of the most sophisticated supercomputers in the world; and --Issued a host of reports identifying concrete opportunities to reform Department: contract management; waste management; environment, safety and health stewardship; research and development; major facilities and project construction and operation; and human capital.
