Abstract
Although interest in the potential of a possible Gulf Coast-type geothermal resource has been increasing, the upper temperature limit for possible utilization of this resource has been put at about 200/sup 0/C. However, new data suggest that this limit should be re-examined. Here, a limited amount of field and laboratory data is extrapolated and applied speculatively in an attempt to understand the geologic and geochemical systems of deep petroleum basins. The purpose is to bring about a serious reconsideration of the possible magnitude of a deep geopressured resource.
