O&G data<br />

SMU data<br />

Heat flux in the north part of the Trans-Pecos is 80 mW/m 2 and up, higher than the 60-70 mW/m 2<br />

found in the Gulf Coast. Temperatures and heat flux appear to support electric generation.<br />

O&G data<br />

SMU data<br />

R2 = Coefficient of Determination<br />

(T variability explained by depth)<br />

R = Correlation Coefficient<br />

(predictive relation of num pairs)<br />

<strong>In</strong> these plots, two straight lines are<br />

defined in the normal-normal plot and<br />

one logarithmic curve for the lognormal<br />

plot. <strong>In</strong> the first plot, the<br />

shallow line gives dT/dz = 21.5 o C/km<br />

with the deep line having dT/dz =<br />

44.5 o C/km, over twice the shallow value.<br />

The log-normal curve gives a better<br />

statistical fit.
