    Resumé

    Approximate values of the geothermal gradient are calculated from temperature measurements in thirty onshore exploration wells and thirteen Danish North Sea exploration wells. A regional contour map is presented and discussed in relation to the major geological features in the area . Estimates of the thermal conductivity and the heat flow are given. Average values for the geothermal gradient, the thermal conductivity and the heat flow in the onshore area are determined to 23.2°C/km, 0.0058 cal cm-1s-1°C-1 and 1.34 μcal cm-2s-1 respectively.
