Temperature data were obtained to a depth of approx. 1900 m (6300 ft) in well GD-1, W. longitude 109/sup 0/ 36.9', N. latitude 38/sup 0/ 09.8', elevation 1503 m at Gibson Dome in the Paradox Basin, southeastern Utah. Thermal conductivities were measured on 15 specimens representative of the major formations. With the possible exception of some minor perturbations within the Molas and Leadville Limestone formations near the bottom of the well, no evidence exists for vertical water movement with seepage velocities exceeding a few mm y/sup -1/ within the well or formation.
