Heat Flow Calculation<br />
1. Scale lithologic column to<br />
sediment thickness<br />
2. Calculation <strong>of</strong> thermal<br />
resistance (1/K) then summed<br />
entire sedimentary column<br />
3. Calculate resistance to the<br />
depth <strong>of</strong> the BHT, convert this<br />
back to conductivity<br />
4. Conductivity X Gradient=<br />
Heat Flow<br />
<strong>The</strong>rmal Resistance is similar<br />
to Electrical Resistance
