SW New Mexico Play Fairway Analysis: BHT Geothermal Gradient Calculations

This file contains a compilation of BHT data from oil wells in southwestern New Mexico. Surface temperature is calculated using the collar elevation. An estimate of geothermal gradient is calculated using the estimated surface temperature and the uncorrected BHT data.
