Stratigraphy and Depositional Environments of Part of the Pennsylvanian Pottsville Formation in the Black Warrior Basin: Alabama and Mississippi

Determination of depositional environments is based on the interpretation of geophysical log signatures and the distribution of sandstones and coals. Most of these data have been obtained from dual induction and density logs of wells drilled to underlying Mississippian reservoirs. The Pottsville sediments have not been a major petroleum objective; however, the numerous coal beds are a potential source of methane.
