Title: Determination of true static formation temperature from well logs

Journal Article · · Energy Sources (N.Y.); (United States)

Several concepts that attempt to determine static (true) formation temperature from log-derived BHT measurements with and without knowledge of drilling fluid circulation time have been reviewed. Whereas several refined models are available, the simple Horner-type technique provides quick and reliable static (true) formation temperature estimates.
