OPEN-FILE REPORT 1: An Investigation of Potential Geothermal Energy Sources in Mississippi

Edwin E. Luper, 1978, DOE Cont. No. EG-77-S-05-5361, 15 pages, 18 maps. Mississippi Geological, Economic and Topographical Survey, October 31, 1978 (MS Office of Geology: http://geology.deq.ms.gov).

Document Description

This report investigates the subsurface geotemperature regime of 40 counties of south and south-central Mississippi. Included in the report are 18 isothermal contour maps showing the subsea depths to the following temperatures: 158° F (70° C), 212° F (100° C), 248° F (120° C), 302° F (150° C), 356° F (180° C), 401° F (205° C). The isothermal maps are derived from bottom hole temperature (BHT) data collected from numerous oil and gas well log headers drilled in the study area prior to 1978.

This document is a scan of the original 1978 publication; it has not been updated.
