Geothermal Gradient in Sedimentary Rocks in Oklahoma
Abstract
This thesis is a study of the geothermal gradient in the sedimentary-rock column in Oklahoma, exclusive of the Panhandle and the southeasternmost and the northeasternmost parts. Data used are temperature measurements in boreholes drilled for oil and gas. Maps prepared portray the temperature gradients in the normally pressured formations for the State of Oklahoma and the temperature gradients in the abnormally pressured strata in the Anadarko and Ardmore basins. These maps are thought to provide useful information of the subsurface temperature conditions in Oklahoma.
