Synthetic seisIoogrm; are important inexpensive tools that bridge the gap between seismic surveysand knowngeology. Derivation and application of synthetic seisIoogrm; are often misunderstoodand neglected. In this talk, the process of acquiring sonic logs is covered in principle. Eachstep in the process sequence of creating a synthetic seisIoogramfran raw sonic data is covered.Emphasis is placed on the proper editing of raw sonic log data based on knowngeology ofindividual rock units. 'lb.e importance and utility of proper phase and frequency content ofwavelets used in the convolution stage is discussed. Applications of synthetic seisIoogrm; toseismic prospecting are widely varied and very important to the exploratianist. Applicationcovered include: tying specific geologic rock units to seismic reflectors; choosing which seismicsection is IOOrecorrectly processed whendealing with reprocessed vintage data; identifyingcorrect seismic polarity for interpretation; IOOdelingstratagraphic traps i.e. reefs, erosionalremnants, Rose Run subcrops.

I HIS'ltIUCAL~:

1. ••• under the authority of an act of the l£gislature, a Geological SUrveyof the State (of Ohio)has been CCfIIIelced.'!be early part of the season wasdevoted to makinga geological reconnoissanceof the eastern sectioo of the State, with a view to study the great outlines of its geology, and toacquire a knowledgeof the general resources of the country in useful minerals, so as to direct thedetailed examinatioosin such a manner,as to be productive of the greatest utility to the greatb:xiyof the people. '!be mineral wealth of Ohio is greater than Irrf IOOStsanquine anticipatioos hadled meto expect. M:>stcountries depend, for their mineral wealth, 00 IOOUIltainousor barrenregioos; but Ohio, in carm::n with sc:IIeother parts of the United States, is blessed, not only withfruitful soil, but also with inexhaustible subterranean riches. (p.l) V.V. !father, 1838

2. . .. the benefits whichwill follc:Man accurate knowledgeof the geological structure and mineralresources of the state have only just begunto be felt, and they will continue to operate forcenturies. ••• '!be present SUrveywasoriginally limited in tilIe to three years, and though it wassaid by those whoinitiated it that it could not and should not be finished in less than ten years,and it was continued by special enactnents nore than a year and a half beyoodthe tern firstprescribed, the financial condition of the country at the close of 1873pranpted the l£gislature toinstruct the GeologicalCorps to bring the workto an end. J.S. Hewbeuy, 1874

3. '!be bulk of the volumeis devoted to the subjects of oil and gas, as is proper, in viewof therecent astcaishim developJmts in Ohio. Fortunately for the author, there was, in the latter partof 1887, a little lull in the storm of exploration that has raged in the state for the last fouryears. Of this he has gladly availed h:iJnselfin getting his record into print. ••• 'lbere arefew, questions pertaining to the subject to whichfull and final answerscan nowbe given, but thefacts relating to '!'rental limestooe oil and gas that are here presented, are sure to be recognizedby all students in this departmentof geological science as of great significance and importance.'!be newOhio field is destined to becane classical groundin such study. E. Cktal, 1888.

000 EPAEFFORTSIN WELLHEADPROl'Ex:TIOO.---- -

'lbe 1986 Amendmentsto the Federal Safe Drinking water Act call for states and localgovernments to develop and implement wellhead protection programs to protect fran contaminationground waters which supply public drinking water wells and wellfields. At a minimum, statewellhead protection programs must specify the roles and duties of state and local governments inwellhead protection, prescribe methods for delineating protection areas for each water source,inventorying all potential contaminant sources within the protection area and developingmanagement schemes and contingency plans for preventing or abating contamination of the watersupply. Programs also must address the protection of new or expanded water supply sources and mustensure public participation throughout program develop:nent and implementation. Th.eoaio EPAhasbeen designated by the Governor as the lead Agency for developing and administering the Stateprogram.

Since early 1988, the OEPAhas initiated several program developrent activities in wellheadprotection. 'lbe Agency's Division of Ground Water has recently canpleted a wellhead protectiondenmstration project in cooperation with the City of Springfield and has prepared a draft Statewellhead protection program plan in accordance with Federal Safe Drinking Water Act mandates.Other Agency projects have included a contract with the Ohio state University, Geology Departmentto evaluate various rethodologies for delinSiting protection area boundaries in differenthydrogeologic settings at Wooster (valley outwash aquifer) and Richwood (carbonate aquifer).

ctFA (Continued):

The Division also has participated in numerous seminars and conferences and is currentlyassisting nore than two dozen camnmities around the State on wellhead protection plandeveloprent.

A proposed Safe Drinking Water Bill was introduced in the State U:¢slature in April, 1990,which will enable Ohio EPAto administer the Federal wellhead protection mandates and will providea funding mechanism for program implementation. The Bill requires all camnmity ground watersupplies serving IOOrethan 500 people to prepare a local wellhead protection plan within 36 lOOIlthsafter enactment.

Geologic conditions responsive to horizaltal drilling exploitation are those that have resultedin fractures in carlxmates, including chan, source rocks, tight sands, and coal beds. Otherreservoir types amenable to horizontal. drilling include reefs, carstic carbonates, and both carb-bonates and sandstones in a variety of stratigraphic traps.
