Thermal conductivity of sedimentary rocks in the Sichuan basin, Southwest China

The optical scanning method was adopted to measure the thermal conductivities of 418 drill-core samples from 30 boreholes in Sichuan basin. All the measured thermal conductivities mainly range from 2.00 to 4.00 W/m K with a mean of 2.85 W/m K. For clastic rocks, the mean thermal conductivities of sa...
