A method of evaluating a hydrocarbon-containing subterranean formation to identify potentially productive zones within the formation. The method may be particularly useful for evaluating formations penetrated by a least one directionally drilled well Previous HitboreNext Hit. The method can include releasing,capturing,and measuring at least one property related to hydrocarbon materials entrapped in rock samples obtained from the formation, and the results of the analysis can be use to perform at least one well Previous HitboreNext Hit-related activity, such as drilling, geo-steering, stimulating and/or producing a new well Previous HitboreNext Hit.

Procedure:
   Drilling a well Previous HitboreNext Hit into a hydrocarbon containing formation at an angle of 50 degrees or higher angle.
   Obtain drill cuttings from well Previous HitboreTop.
   Release entrapped hydrocarbons from rock samples.
   Capturing released hydrocarbon.
   Measuring at least one property of released hydrocarbon.
   Organizing results on a plot ( Chandler Perforation Plot / or CP/PLOT )
   Transmitting organized results to an end user.
