1 The INTERREG project GeORG: 3D-modeling of complex tectonic structures for assessing geopotentials in the Upper Rhine Graben GeORG project team Isabel Rupf Geological Survey Baden-Württemberg Der Oberrhein wächst zusammen: mit jedem Projekt Dépasser les frontières: projet après projet Transcending borders with every project

2 The transnational GeORG Project Germany France Assessment of geopotentials: deep geothermal energy CO 2 sequestration, storage of compressed air deep aquifers constructing a 3D geological model Switzerland

3 GeORG - project organization EU project co-financed within the INTERREG program IV A Upper Rhine Running period from October, 1st 2008 to December, 31th 2012 Project partners with technical participation Landesamt für Geologie, Rohstoffe und Bergbau Baden-Württemberg Regierungspräsidium Freiburg Abt.9 (project coordination) Landesamt für Geologie und Bergbau Rheinland-Pfalz Service Géologique Régional Alsace (BRGM Orléans) Universität Basel (Abteilung Angewandte und Umweltgeologie 10 further partners providing financial or knowledge support

4 Tectonic development of the Upper Rhine Graben Regional setting 4-5 km extension European Cenozoic rift system rift & wrench system km sinistral strike slip

5 Sedimentation and Geopotentials Cenozoic graben fill: up 5 km thick Mesozoic & Paleozoic rocks: varistic basement Upper Jurassic geothermal geopotentials (hydrothermal + hot dry rock) gas storage rocks mineral waters

6 Modeling Workflow Data acquisition and harmonization Seismic interpretation Geological 3D-modeling Reservoir characteristics & Temperature modeling derivation of geopotentials products

7 Input data & harmonization wells seismic profiles parameter sets previous projects lithology around 2000 wells various sources nomenclature harmonization structural architecture 5400km 2d seismic profiles oil industry digitization homogenization migration parameters for hydrogeological/ geothermal characterization various sources unit harmonization corrections etc. structural architecture various sources technical harm. nomenclature
