Characteristics of Temperature Distribution and Control factors in Geothermal Field

In recent years, China has carried out large‐scale exploration, exploitation and utilization of geothermal resources, but there is no unified understanding of the distribution characteristics of geothermal field and the controlling factors of forming geothermal field. As for the heat source, some scholars think it is the contribution of radioactivity, fault, magma chamber, or an abnormal heat source, and even the heat generated by the influence of the tectonic movement. As a result, many exemplary geothermal explorations have made great mistakes. After drilling at a depth of 3000‐5000m, the temperature obtained is not as good as the common low‐temperature sedimentary basin, and the losses are huge and extremely uneconomical.
