Model of rock thermal conductivity used by oil and gas and geothermal companies proves unreliable

Skoltech researchers have leveraged their unique experimental data and expertise in rock modeling to test a theoretical model of rock thermal conductivity commonly used for the search, exploration, and development of oil, gas, and geothermal fields and in radioactive waste disposal. The study, describing a way to significantly improve the model, was published in the journal Geothermics.
