Abstract
ABSTRACT The water resource potential of deep aquifers (2,000 ft to 10,000 ft) such as the Madison-Red River interval in the Eastern Powder River Basin of Wyoming-Montana is of great importance to support the future heavy water demands that coal and other energy development activities will place on the limited known water resources of the area. We have used conventional well data, vertical seismic profiles, and surface seismic reflection profiles to see whether porous, water-productive Madison-Red River sections can be distinguished from barren sections in advance of drilling. Our observations suggest that porous productive end members are identifiable on the basis of acoustic differences, as observed on reflected wave trains in the exploration seismic frequency range.
