The argillaceous sequence performs the double function of an impermeable caprock, which prevents the dissipation of heat by the upward convective mass flow of heated fluids, and also a thermal insulator, which prevents the dissipation of heat by conduction, and thus allows the buildup of high temperatures in the reservoir. 7, record 1, English, - thermal%20insulation

La séquence de roches argileuses aurait pour double fonction de former une couche imperméable, pour empêcher la perte de chaleur par l'écoulement en masse de fluides chauds entraînés vers le haut dans un mouvement de convection, et de servir d'isolant thermique, pour éviter la perte de chaleur par conduction, et ainsi permettre une élévation de la température dans le réservoir. 5, record 1, French, - isolant%20thermique
