Abstract
Often the investigation of petrophysical properties is far behind the capabilities of sophisticated modelling techniques applied in basin and geothermal modelling and for which these data serve as an input. Therefore, more in-depth investigations especially of thermal properties are requested. We evaluate different methods and devices for measuring rock thermal properties including thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity and will compare the results to assure a high quality of these important key parameters.
