Abstract
Statistical Analysis of Some Bottom-Hole Temperature (BHT) Correction Factors for the Cherokee Basin, Southeastern Kansas
Abstract
Correction factors are needed for bottom-hole temperatures (BHTs) obtained from boreholes drilled in the search for mineral resources to correct for "true" formation temperature necessary for geothermal calculations. Several of these correction factors are applied to BHTs taken in different stratigraphic units at different depths from the Cherokee Basin in southeastern Kansas to determine which one is most appropriate for the geological conditions in this area. A comparative study by statistical analysis indicates that the "best" correction factor for the local situation is the AAPG average factor, the Forster/Merriam correction based on a "censored" data set, or a new correction based on the relation of BHTs and DSTs (temperature measured during drillstem tests) that is proposed here.
