Heat Flow<br />

• Traditionally heat flow is<br />

determined from equilibrium<br />

temperature logs<br />

• Changes in gradient reflect<br />

changes in lithology<br />

• <strong>The</strong>rmal conductivity<br />

measured on core or cuttings<br />

• Low conductivity lithologies<br />

(shale) have high gradients<br />

and visa versa<br />

• No equilibrium logs like this in<br />
