Thermal History of Sedimentary Basins

  • Chapter
Petroleum and Basin Evolution

Abstract

Geoscientists have always been interested in temperature values, as the crucial role of temperature in various geological, geochemical, and geophysical phenomena was recognized relatively early. However, this interest was long limited to aspects such as temperature distribution in the earth’s crust and mantle, melting temperatures of different rocks, equilibrium temperatures of various metamorphic mineral assemblages, and temperature dependency of some geophysical parameters. Almost all of these are related to thermal conditions in the deeper parts of the earths crust. Low temperature fields at shallow depth have been of less concern. It is interesting to recognize that all these studies sought to define either the present distribution of temperature or the maximum temperature reached at some time in the geological past. In other words, temperature distribution as a steady state case was the subject of interest.
