Many subsurface studies are focused on rocks below a specific surface area where lateral
variation of Geothermal Temperature Field maybe insignificant comparing to variation along the true vertical direction LaTeX Math Inline body --uriencoded--\%7B x, \, y \%7D
.LaTeX Math Inline body --uriencoded--\%7B z \%7D
This allows using Geothermal Temperature Profile
instead of Geothermal Temperature Fieldhappens for example at the lateral scales of a typical Petroleum Field where Geothermal Temperature Field usually simplifies to a laterally constant Geothermal Temperature Profile LaTeX Math Inline body T_G(z)
. LaTeX Math Inline body T_G(x, \, y, \, z)
