The present geothermal characteristics and influencing factors are analyzed to conduct geothermal resource exploration in the Xiong’an New Area. Thermal conductivity data for 100 rock samples are obtained from different wells and a sedimentary strata thermal conductivity column is proposed. From these data, heat flow distribution in the area is mapped using equilibrium temperature logs obtained for 32 wells. The heat flow in this area is found to be 53.3–106.5 mW·m−2 (average: 73 mW·m−2). The uplift heat value in Niutuozhen and Rongcheng uplift is 106.5 and 90 mW·m−2, respectively. The sag heat flow is relatively low and the Baxian sag’s heat flow value is 48.9–61.6 mW·m−2. Thermal conductivity differences among Cenozoic caprock, Proterozoic carbonate reservoirs, and basement rock mainly affects the geothermal distribution. The low and high thermal conductivities of the caprock and thermal reservoir as well as basement, respectively, cause heat flow redistribution in the surface during conduction. Groundwater rises to geothermal reservoirs through heat-controlling faults, causing convective heat transfer and increasing the geothermal reservoir temperature; therefore, high-temperature groundwater accumulates in the shallow uplift areas. The caprock’s thin uplift area exhibits a high geothermal background due to water convergence. Understanding the geothermal characteristics and influencing factors is necessary for understanding the distribution law and factors influencing geothermal resources and guiding geothermal exploration and development in the Xiong’an New Area.
