Geothermal regime of Meso-Cenozoic basins and their tectonic background in east China

摘要

This paper present a brief analysis of the geothermal fields of Meso-Cenozoic basins and their evolution in East China by means of heat flow, geotemperature gradient, vitrinite reflectance and its gradient in the basins, and reveals a basic framework of the geothermal regime of the basins. The geothermal regime of Meso-Cenozoic basins in East China is mainly dominated by tectonic conditions.
