Comments on Geologic Parameters

12a Formation Temperature:

Temperature data for fields producing from the Frio were extracted from Macpherson (1992) and georeferenced to the field outlines. Because of structural complexity related to salt diapers and growth faults, heterogeneity at a fine scale is expected.
