Temperature Logging and Thermal Data in Mekong Delta

Abstract

The type of temperature logging in a borehole of Mekong Delta is continuous recording of temperature using a sensor lowered into the borehole. This type of measurements provides a lot of temperature versus depth. Using the temperature log, thermal gradient can be estimated and contouring temperature value at different depth. From the results of this works the areas with high temperature (representative of hot water) and low temperature (representative of cooler water) can be distinguished. The direction of temperature change is also clear shown. The main meanings of these results is for different purposes specially for geothermal study.
