Downloads

Special downloadable files can be found here. Files specific to wells such as LAS/log, core photos, spreadsheets and similar can be obtained via the search application on the Data Page of the website. Due to high demand for efficient packaging and distribution of Utica Play well log data, WVGES will begin offering DVD copies of the well log database, should users wish to purchase the logs. The individual well logs will still be available for download (as via the Data Page search application) at no cost to users. For customers wishing to purchase a well log DVD, pricing is as follows:

Digital OR Scanned Log Database: $50 (plus shipping and handling)
Digital AND Scanned Log Databases: $100 (plus shipping and handling)

To purchase well log DVDs, call 304.594.2331 and ask for Publication Sales
or email info@wvgs.wvnet.edu
