Abstract
New thermal conductivity, heat production and temperature data obtained in Portugal were used to produce a new heat flow density map. Heat flow density values in Portugal vary between 42 and 115 mW/m2 and allow the extrapolation of temperatures to depths not yet reached by existing boreholes. Additionally, temperature maps at 500 and 1000 m depths and a two-dimensional model constructed along a north-south profile in the area where there is more geothermal information are given.
