GEOTHERMAL REGIME OF THE WORLD SEDIMENTARY BASINS
The paper deals with the solution of a problem of an adequate heat flow analysis and temperature prognosis in different basin settings. A number of generalized equations were obtained by detailed studying of the temperature-depth profiles all over the world. The geothermal regimes classification is presented. The factors that influenced the heat transferring in the sedimentary basins are discussed. The type of geothermal regime is recognized as the significant attribute influenced on the paleotemperature reconstruction methodology especially in basin modeling approach. The need of creation of regional and local models with thermogram shape associated with different types of regime is postulated at the second stage of the study. Basin modeling in different geodynamic basin types is necessary to calculate of the thermal history with the corrections to the type of regime in the each case.
