3 Application areas of the deep subsurface Oil and gas production, mining (oil, gas, salt, coal etc.) Geothermal energy Underground storage (gas, CO 2 etc.) Subsidence Climate, environment and safety Spatial planning / management
4 Main products DGM-DEEP - Digital Geological layer Model DEEP subsurface Stratigraphic borehole interpretations Seismic interpretation Fault database (~3800) Uncertainties Specific Reservoir properties (reservoir, seal and source rock e.g. T, p, v, poro, perm,.) Dissemination: Maps, reports and (web-based) digital products; data access through NLOG and DINO-Loket
5 New trends Policy support + knowledge for sustainable solutions use deep subsurface (geothermal energy, CO 2 - storage) Regional inventory new gas prospects (shallow gas, gas shales, tight gas, CBM, ) Climate & Safety (prediction, risks and human impact) Spatial planning (VRODO)
6 Mapping program 2011-2014 Guarantee the continuity of current programs Shift to (other) application areas of actual needs/questions and data needs Onshore, ultra-deep and shallow Upgrading and actualisation of knowledge needed for geothermal energy, CCS and unconvential gas Emphasis on dynamics (processes, prospectivity and forecasting/planning) Thematic policy support Division/structure of projects on basis of disciplines Integral program adjusting with other teams (needs and priorities)!
