Geothermal regime of the Williston Basin in North Dakota
… enhanced by analysis of the relationships among radiogenic heat production, surface heat flow, formation temperatures, and gravity and magnetic anomaly patterns. Digital processing of the spatial and causal relationships gives insight into the effect of basement heat production on the thermal …

An analysis of geothermal viability in Pecos County, Permian Basin, West Texas
… available well data for temperature and heat flow analyses. While several national-scale heat flow and temperature-at-depth data sets exist, very few county-level studies within Texas are available. Well data from the National Geothermal Data System (NGDS) are used to construct a Pecos …

Geochemical characerization of endmember mantle components
This thesis uses trace elements and radiogenic isotope tracers to define elemental abundances in reservoirs of the Earth's mantle, including EM2 (the Enriched Mantle 2), as seen in the Samoan hotspot track, and DMM (the depleted upper mantle), which is sampled at mid-ocean ridges. Together these …

Crustal, Thermal, and Structural Controls on Hydrocarbon Systems in the Delaware Basin, West Texas, and Southeastern New Mexico
… Miocene tectonic events affecting hydrocarbon production in the Delaware Basin, the western physiographical province of the complexly structured, intracratonic Greater Permian Basin based on the interpretation of gravity and magnetic data, 3D seismic, and well data. Initial ambiguity of …

Temperature-dependent thermal transport properties of major Archean rock types and implications for the thermal evolution of Archean terranes
… (GG) belts and intrusions of high heat-producing tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG), and the burial of TTG rocks below GG rocks is believed to have triggered dome-and-keel formation. The thermal transport properties of these rocks, thermal diffusivity (D), and thermal …

The effects of high temperature metamorphic and melting processes on granulite-facies rocks
… paradigm is that melting depletes rocks in heat producing elements (HPEs). However, comprehensive K–U–Th datasets taken from a number of terranes show that in metapelites, melting and melt loss does not deplete U–Th concentrations, with overall terrane averages suggesting bulk heat …

The geothermal potential of Luxembourg
… borehole data, consistent information for the production of isopach maps. The latter visualize the synsedimentary evolution of the Trier–Luxembourg Basin. Complementary, basin-wide cross sections illustrate the evolution and structure of the Trier–Luxembourg Basin. The knowledge gained does not …
