Abstract:Accurate estimations of present-day subsurface temperatures are of critical importance to the energy industry, in particular with regard to geothermal energy and petroleum exploration. In frontier basins, the subsurface temperature regime can give an indication of the hydrocarbon potential of source horizons. The L€ uderitz Basin, offshore Namibia, is a frontier deep-water basin located on a volcanic passive margin. With only two wells drilled in the area, there are limited downhole temperature data available … Show more
