Les tests donnent des valeurs de température généralement représentatives quand ils sont productifs, mais ils ne sont pas effectués systématiquement sur chaque puits. Les mesures réalisées en cours d'enregistrement de diagraphies sont les plus nombreuses, mais ce sont aussi celles qui nécessitent le plus de corrections. De la température de fond de trou (dite BHT : Bottom Hole Temperature), on déduit la température théorique de la formation à cette profondeur, la correction apportée étant essentiellement fonction du temps écoulé entre la fin de la circulation de boue servant en quelque sorte à lubrifier la structure et le moment de la mesure. 6, record 4, French, - temp%C3%A9rature%20de%20fond%20de%20trou
