Thermal response tests are typically used to evaluate the ground formation thermal conductivity by interpreting the measured time evolution of the fluid temperature for a constant heat injection rate. This seminar will present recent developments associated with these tests including the use of multi-flow rate tests, the development of a calibration unit for TRT units, and the analysis of some 6,000 tests to determine how test data is affected by weather, groundwater movement, test equipment setup, etc.
