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
