Deliverables
• Database of log interpretation parameters and water quality information
• New map of the base of the moderately saline aquifer – elevation and depth
• Geologic cross sections showing the saline water transition with identified seals and disposal zones
• Comparative study to evaluate the changes in the aquifer over the last 20 years – net change map.

How can you help? Glad you asked!!
• Formation water analyses:DST, IP tests, production water
• LAS logs• Rw values for fields, areas, formations• Tips and pitfalls in log analysis you can
share.• Help identify “problem” areas from old
