چکیده
Knowledge of heat flow helps to gain insights about the Earth’s interior in terms of its thermal structure and temperature distribution. In addition to the study of geodynamics, heat flow data are also of great use in the petroleum and geothermal industries. In the oil and gas industry, heat flow reveals information about oil generation, rock quality, migration and entrapment mechanism. Indirect measurement of heat flow takes advantage of its intrinsic relationship with petro-physical parameters such density, seismic velocity, heat production and electric conductivity. Such parameters can be studied using their corresponding geophysical observable.. Such parameters can be studied using their corresponding geophysical observable.
