1 DMT Exploration & Geosurvey Division Services for the development of geothermal projects DMT GmbH & Co. KG Essen, Germany Member of TÜV NORD Group November 2014 Exploration & Geosurvey Slide 1

2 Vast experience in exploring deep geothermal resources Upper Rhine Graben Bavarian Molasse Munich Speyer Kaufbeuren Strasbourg 50 km November 2014 Exploration & Geosurvey Slide 2

3 Our location is close-by! November 2014 Exploration & Geosurvey Slide 3

4 Gliederung What to consider when planning seismic surveys? Which phases occur during a seismic project? Impressions from a DMT acquisition crew? What is recorded by seismics? What are the benefits of seismics for a geothermal project? November 2014 Exploration & Geosurvey Slide 4

5 Seismogram of one trace (raw data) aus: Knödel, Krummel, Lange (1997) November 2014 Exploration & Geosurvey Slide 5

12 2D vs. 3D Seismic what is the difference? 2D Seismic (left pictures) The result is a 2-dimensional section Interpolation in between is necessary, fault correlation is uncertain 3D Seismic (right pictures) The result is a data volume No interpolation, very accurate and detailed structure interpretation possible Your advantage: Imaging the underground gives dependability for next steps in project November 2014 Exploration & Geosurvey Slide 12

13 Borehole Geophysics 1 The following tools are available: Density measures the rock density based on the gamma-gamma method. Natural gamma ray measures natural gamma rays for determining the clay content and clay barriers; also used for progress checks and so on. Caliber tool for determining the borehole diameter and borehole volume. Full-wave sonic measures the seismic velocities vs and vp, as well as determines Poisson s ratio, the modulus of elasticity and the sheer modulus. Cement bond log determining the quality of cementing and the cement bond Dual induction measures the specific resistivity of the rock at two penetration depths, as well as clay barriers. November 2014 Exploration & Geosurvey Slide 13

14 Borehole Geophysics 2 The following tools are available: Focussed resistivity measures the specific resistivity of the rock. Televiewer samples the borehole wall acoustically to detect joint systems and fissures. Optical scanner samples the borehole wall optically to detect joint systems and fissures. Borehole direction finder with high precision inclination and magnetic field. Flowmeter measures the vertical flow of fluid, determines fluid inflows and outflows. Sampler takes samples at given depths; maximum sample of one litre November 2014 Exploration & Geosurvey Slide 14
