Heat flow in the Uinta Basin determined from bottom hole temperature (BHT) data |
Date |

Description |
The thermal resistance (or Bullard) method is used to judge the utility of petroleum well bottom-hole temperature data in determining surface heat flow and subsurface temperature patterns in a sedimentary basin. Thermal resistance, defined as the quotient of a depth parameter AZ and thermal conductivity k, governs subsurface temperatures as follows. |
