GEOTHERMAL HEAT FLOW MEASUREMENT

|
Why is Geothermal Heat Flow Measurement so Important?
- Geothermal heat flow measurement is an important input parameter for thermal inversion modeling, which involves predicting the distribution of subsurface temperatures.
- The measurement is an essential parameter for caalculating thermal energy reserves.
- Geothermal heat flow measurement can serve as a tool for predicting the thermal maturity of hydrocarbons.
Advantages of the Proposed Method
- Our measurement tool, GradioTermTM, offers highly sensitive temperature measurements with an accuracy of 0.001ºC and a high degree of precision, significantly less than 0.025 ºC/m.
-
This proposed method can be integrated with existing geophysical modeling techniques to generate subsurface temperature models, including gravity, resistivity, and magnetic data.
-
Furthermore, this method enhances the approximation established by Mareschal et al. (1985), which neglects lateral variations in thermal conductivity and assumes that the depth of heat sources is proportional to the wavelength of surface heat flow variations.
- Additionally, the proposed method focuses on direct parameter measurement rather than relying on Curie temperature, geochemistry, seismic velocity-temperature, resistivity-temperature, and similar metrics.
