575.1.~ Cross-section DIt is an E-W section <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rn part of <strong>the</strong> productionfield (Fig. 37). The <strong>temperature</strong> distribution <strong>in</strong> 1982 Isshown In Fig. 44 <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> distribution In 1983 Is shown <strong>in</strong>Fig. 45. Quite large <strong>temperature</strong> changes are tak<strong>in</strong>g place<strong>in</strong> this part of <strong>the</strong> reservoir dur<strong>in</strong>g one year. In 1982 <strong>the</strong><strong>temperature</strong>s are fairly uniformly distributed In this E- Wcross - section. A possIble <strong>temperature</strong> <strong>in</strong>version Is notedIn wells SG-1 <strong>and</strong> SG - TT . Th e <strong>temperature</strong> distribution of1983 suggests that substantial cool<strong>in</strong>g has taken place.particularly In well SG - TT. <strong>and</strong> this raises <strong>the</strong> Questionwhe<strong>the</strong>r this cool<strong>in</strong>g is through well SG-lT. As seen InFig. 33 <strong>the</strong> possibility of down flow <strong>in</strong> 1983 In well SG - Ttcannot be ruled out from <strong>the</strong> present available data. On <strong>the</strong>o<strong>the</strong>r h<strong>and</strong>. <strong>the</strong> <strong>temperature</strong> profile from 1982 does not<strong>in</strong>dicate a downward flow at that time. Temperature<strong>in</strong>versions seem to be present <strong>in</strong> wells SG - 1 <strong>and</strong> SG - 9 <strong>in</strong>1983 <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>temperature</strong>s <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>se wells are <strong>in</strong> general1-10 o C colder than <strong>in</strong> 1982. The cool<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> well SG - 11 is13°C between 1982 <strong>and</strong> 1983.The lower end of <strong>the</strong> cemented cas<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> SG-l1 is at 582 mdepth. <strong>and</strong> a large604 m depth. Itacquifer was noticed dur<strong>in</strong>g drill<strong>in</strong>g atis possible that a downflow from <strong>the</strong>acquirer at 604 m caused <strong>the</strong> cool<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> reservoir atlarger depth. This situation might be at h<strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong> some o<strong>the</strong>rwells <strong>in</strong> this part of <strong>the</strong> field. The <strong>temperature</strong> profile<strong>in</strong> well SG - 8 from '83.03.16 (Fig. 21) is In an agreementwith an <strong>in</strong>ternal down flow <strong>in</strong> that well.5.1.5 Cross-section EIts location is shown <strong>in</strong> Fig. 31. <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>temperature</strong>distribution <strong>in</strong> 1982 <strong>and</strong> 1983 is shown <strong>in</strong> Fig. 46 <strong>and</strong> 41respectively. The <strong>temperature</strong> variation with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>reservoir <strong>in</strong> this SW - NE section is ra<strong>the</strong>r smooth at each
