Abstract
Summary Heat flow values have been determined for three areas in western Canada by a combination of temperature gradient measurements in abandoned oil wells, and thermal conductivity determinations on core samples. The heat flux ranges from 1.46 × 10-6cal cm-2 s-1 in central Alberta to 2.00 × 10-6 cal cm-2 s-1 for a well near the Arctic Circle. Possible disturbances in the temperature gradients tesulting from oil production and from surface temperature inequalities are considered.
