Borehole temperatures have been studied to evaluate the natural temperature field of the geological formations (fig. 37). Formation temperature and time are main factors affecting maturation of source rocks and should, therefore, be compared with maturation measurements. Furthermore, temperature gradients through sedimentary sequences provide information about relationships between their heat conductivities, and this can be used to extrapolate temperatures measured in wells to the surrounding rock masses.
