Thermal Conductivity
URL: https://gdr.openei.org/submissions/1390
Thermal conductivity (TC) data taken for different wells at a specified drill depth. This is an abridged version of the complete SMU heat flow database. All columns in this database are the same as the SMU database, except for 2 additions associated with this project. INGENIOUS notes are individual notes that were written for specific data points during the analysis process. INGENIOUS TC Value includes 4 values: 1. Assumed Measured - These are values that are assumed to be measured thermal conductivity values, either within a specific well or within the same study region. 2. Data release, assumed measured - These are values in the SMU database that are from proprietary data that were added to the SMU database and are labeled as data release for their reference. 3. Known measured - These are values that have a reported measurement, either as an original file in the SMU data files on the NGDS or a reported table in a publication. In the rare circumstances, Maria Richards or David Blackwell confirmed measurement. Confirmation of measurement would be written in the INGENIOUS notes column. 4. Unmeasured - Unmeasured values are those that are known to be unmeasured, either estimated from another report or no information given. In the SMU database, there are wells that have a heat flow but no thermal conductivity. These are categorized as unmeasured. There are also heat flow values that are stated to have estimated or generalized average thermal conductivity values for the region and rock type. 5. Blank - Blank values are either A quality or X quality. These quality values are stated in the INGENIOUS notes.
