Abstract
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. Copyright © 1962, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
