35. AN ESTIMATE OF THE HEAT FLOW IN THE WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC AT DEEP SEA DRILLING PROJECT SITE 5341
A method employing both a simple relationship between total rock conductivity and the concentrations and conduc-tivities of constituents, and an estimate of the thermal gradient based on a downhole temperature log, yielded an estimated value between 1.01 (42 mW m~2) and 1.37 HFU (57 mW m~2) for the...

| Summary: | A method employing both a simple relationship between total rock conductivity and the concentrations and conduc-tivities of constituents, and an estimate of the thermal gradient based on a downhole temperature log, yielded an estimated value between 1.01 (42 mW m~2) and 1.37 HFU (57 mW m~2) for the heat flow at Site 534. These measure-ments are in good agreement with other heat-flow measurements made in the same area, indicating that this method may have a wide application in estimating heat flow at well sites. |
