Additional evidence on the relation of temperature to structure in the Salt Creek Oil field, Natrona County, Wyoming 

September 18, 1940

Observations of bottom hole temperatures in approximately 100 deep wells in the Salt Creek field have been made during the past few years by the Stanolind Oil and Gas Company. These recent observations confirm and extend in a remarkable manner the results obtained in the summers of 1922 and 1923  when it was found from temperature surveys in 21 wells that the temperatures over a considerable portion of the field were definitely related to the structure.
