MARC recordSubsurface temperatures and geothermal gradients on the North Slope of Alaska / Timothy S. Collett, Kenneth J. Bird, Leslie B. Magoon.
| Title: | Subsurface temperatures and geothermal gradients on the North Slope of Alaska / Timothy S. Collett, Kenneth J. Bird, Leslie B. Magoon. |
| Author(s): | Collett, Timothy S. Bird, Kenneth J. Magoon, Leslie B. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| In: | Cold Regions Science and Technology. (1993.), Vol. 21(3) (1993) |
| Abstract: | Geothermal gradient data are available from high-resolution equilibrated well-bore surveys and from estimates based on well-log identification of base of ice-bearing permafrost. 46 wells, considered to be in or near thermal equilibrium, have been surveyed with high-resolution temperature devices and geothermal gradients can be interpreted directly from recorded temperature profiles. To augment limited North Slope temperature database, new method of evaluating local geothermal gradients was developed and is discussed, with reference to oil and gas reserves. |
