The CO2 storage potential of the Middle Buntsandstein Subgroup within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the German North Sea was analysed within the framework of the GEOSTOR-Project. A total of 71 potential storage sites were mapped based on existing 3D models, seismic and well data. Static CO2 capacities were calculated for each structure using Monte Carlo simulations with 10,000 iterations to account for uncertainties. All potential reservoirs were evaluated based on their static capacity, burial depth, top seal integrity and trap type. Analysis identified 38 potential storage sites with burial depths between 800 m and 4500 m, reservoir capacities (P50) above 5 Mt CO2 and suitable sealing units. The best storage conditions are expected on the West Schleswig Block where salt-controlled anticlines with moderate burial depths, large reservoir capacities and limited lateral flow barriers are the dominant trap types. Relatively poor storage conditions can be anticipated for small (P50 <5 Mt CO2), deeply buried (> 4500 m) and structurally complex potential storage sites in the Horn and Central Graben.

As part of the CDRmare joint project GEOSTOR (https://geostor.cdrmare.de/), the BGR created detailed static geological 3D models for two potential CO2 storage structures in the Middle Buntsandstein in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the German North Sea and supplemented them with petrophysical parameters (e.g. porosities, permeabilities). The 3D geological model (Pilot area B; ~560 km2) is located in the north-western part of the German North Sea sector, the so-called “Entenschnabel”, an approximately 150 kilometer long and 30 kilometer wide area between the offshore sectors of the Netherlands, Denmark and Great Britain (pilot region B). The model in the Ducks Beak is based on several high-resolution 3D seismic data and geophysical/geological information from four exploration wells. It includes 20 generalized faults and the following 16 horizon surfaces: 1) Sea Floor, 2) Mid Miocene Unconformity, 3) Base Tertiary, 4) Base Upper Cretaceous, 5) Base Lower Cretaceous, 6) Base Upper Jurassic, 7) Base Lower Jurassic, 8) Base Muschelkalk, 9) Base Röt, 10) Base Solling Formation, 11) Base Detfurth Formation, 12) Base Volpriehausen Wechselfolge, 13) Base Volpriehausen Formation, 14) Base Triassic, 15) Base Zechstein, 16) Top Basement. The reservoir formed by sandstones of the Middle Buntsandstein is located within the Mads Graben, which is bounded to the west by the extensive Mads Fault (normal fault). Marine mudstones of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous serve as the main seal formations. Petrophysical analyses of all considered well data were conducted and reservoir properties (including porosity and permeability) were calculated to determine the static reservoir capacity for these potential CO2 storage structures. The model parameterized and can be used for further dynamic simulations of storage capacity, geo-risk, and infrastructure analyses, in order to develop a comprehensive feasibility study for potential CO2 storage within the project framework. The 3D models were created by the BGR between 2021 and 2024. SKUA-GOCAD was used as the modeling software.

The 3D geological model (Pilot area A; ~1300 km2) is located on the West Schleswig Block in the area of the Henni salt pillow (pilot region A). It is based on 2D seismic data from various surveys and geophysical/geological information from four exploration wells. The model comprises 14 generalized faults and the following 14 horizon surfaces: 1) Sea Floor, 2) Mid Miocene Unconformity, 3) Base Rupelian, 4) Base Tertiary, 5) Base Upper Cretaceous, 6) Base Lower Cretaceous, 7) Base Muschelkalk, 8) Base Röt (Pelite), 9) Base Röt (Salinar), 10) Base Solling Formation, 11) Base Detfurth Formation, 12) Base Volpriehausen Formation, 13) Base Triassic, 14) Base Zechstein. The selected potential reservoir structure in the Middle Buntsandstein is formed by an anticline created by the uplift of the underlying Henni salt pillow. The primary reservoir unit is the 40-50 m thick Lower Volpriehausen Sandstone, the main sealing units are the Röt and the Lower Cretaceous. Petrophysical analyses of all considered well data were conducted and reservoir properties (including porosity and permeability) were calculated to determine the static reservoir capacity for these potential CO2 storage structures. Both models were parameterized and can be used for further dynamic simulations of storage capacity, geo-risk, and infrastructure analyses, in order to develop a comprehensive feasibility study for potential CO2 storage within the project framework.

Storage of CO2 in deep geological formations is one possibility of reducing CO2 emissions from industry that are difficult to avoid. High-quality geological models and capacity estimates are crucial for the successful planning and implementation of safe storage projects. This study analyses the storage potential of the Middle Buntssandstein (Lower Triassic) and Lower to Middle Jurassic within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the German North Sea. The dataset includes maps of potential storage sites and classifications. Link https://geostor.cdrmare.de/
Ein Pumpversuch ist ein hydrogeologischer Feldversuch. Aus einem Brunnen wird mit einer definierten Förderrate Wasser gepumpt, wodurch sich der Wasserspiegel im Brunnen selbst und in der Umgebung absenkt. Es bildet sich im Verlauf ein Absenkungstrichter, der sich mit zunehmender Zeit weiter vertieft. Je nach Zielsetzung unterscheidet man zwei unterschiedliche Typen: - Hydrologischer Pumpversuch zur Ermittlung der Aquiferparameter (insbesondere Transmissivität und Speicherkoeffizient) - Leistungspumpversuch zur Ermittlung der Leistungscharakteristik eines Brunnens.
Aufgabe/Inhalt UP dient der graphischen und numerischen Auswertung von Pumpversuchen, insbesondere zur Bestimmung der Parameter Transmissivität, Speicherkoeffizient und Leakagefaktor. Ausgewählte neue Programmmerkmale: Auswertung der stationären und instationären Phase, nutzerdefinierte orthogonale Randbedingungen definierbar, Kartenunterstützter Aufbau des PV-Auswerte-Modells, Berücksichtigung mehrerer Förderbrunnen, Auswertung variabler Fördermengen. Das Programm UP32 greift unmittelbar auf die in UHYDRO32 bei der Eingabe von Pumpversuchen angelegten dBase-Dateien zu. Zu den Grundfunktionalitäten des Programms UP32 gehören: Auswahl einer Datenquelle/Projektes Auswahl eines Pumpversuches Auswahl zugehöriger Aufschlussdaten Konfigurierung des Pumpversuches Auswertung des Pumpversuches Protokollierung Layout Exportfunktionen Graphische Darstellungen Pumpversuchskonfiguration Darstellung von Absenkungen und Förderraten anhand Messwerten Gütefunktion als Bestandteil der automatischen Parameteridentifikation Darstellung der Absenkungen anhand ermittelter Brunnenfunktion Voraussetzung für das fehlerfreie Funktionieren von UP ist ein mit UHYDRO erzeugtes Projekt, das mindestens die Grunddaten, Pumpversuchs-Kopf-, Aufschluss- und Messdaten enthält. Vorhandene Ausbau- und Ringraumhinterfüllungsdaten werden bei der Auswertung ebenfalls berücksichtigt. Ergebnisse können direkt in die UHYDRO32-datei für hydrogeologische Kennwerte gespeichert werden. ============================== Datengrundlagen: UHYDRO-Daten Entwickler: HGC / G.E.O.S. ==============================
Das Projekt "Teil 1" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Stuttgart, Institut für Siedlungswasserbau, Wassergüte- und Abfallwirtschaft durchgeführt. Bei einer Energieversorgung mit hohen Anteilen erneuerbarer Energien am Stromverbrauch ist es notwendig, die fluktuierende Erzeugung von Windenergie und Photovoltaik bedarfsgerecht zu integrieren sowie den daraus resultierenden zusätzlichen Speicherbedarf näher zu analysieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird sich das beantragte Forschungsvorhaben mit folgenden Fragen beschäftigen: Inwieweit sind bestehende und zukünftige Bioenergieanlagen in Baden-Württemberg zur Energiespeicherung und zum Speicherausbau geeignet? Unter Speicherfähigkeit der Bioenergieanlagen wird in dem vorliegenden Vorhaben sowohl die ?Gasspeicherung? als auch die ?Biomassespeicherung? verstanden, wobei als Gasspeicherung die Speicherung des Biogases bzw. Synthesegases in internen/externen Speichern als auch die Speicherung des aufbereiteten Biogases bzw. Synthesegases im Erdgasnetz betrachtet wird. Im Fall der Biomassespeicherung kann eine flexible Brennstoff- bzw. Substratbeschickung der Bioenergieanlangen (Lastfolgebetrieb) erfolgen. Weiter soll analysiert werden, welche Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des flexiblen Einsatzes von Strom aus biogenen Ressourcen zum Ausgleich von Wind- und Solarstromfluktuationen in Baden-Württemberg ( Modellbetrachtung) bestehen. Als Ergebnis soll u.a. ein Fördermodell für die flexible Fahrweise von Bioenergieanlagen inklusive der notwendigen Speicherung entwickelt werden.
