Facies Differentiation of the Malm by Interpretation of Reflection Seismic Profiles and a Moving Source VSP Experiment

چکیده
A geothermal power plant projected in Unterhaching, south of Munich/Germany, will generate 3.36 MW of electrical power. Two boreholes (doublet) have developed the karstified Malm at a depth of approx. 3000 m. Available seismic profiles were reprocessed with the aim of interpreting the facies and thus the degree of karstification within the Malm. The most prospective areas are, beside fault zones, those where diffractions (indicators for reef facies and karstification) occur together with low velocities (indicators for large amount of water). As a result of these investigations, a deviation of the first (production) well was recommended. Further on both the location and the deviation of the second (injection) borehole were specified. Both boreholes were successful. A vertical seismic profile (VSP) and a moving source VSP were carried out for detailed exploration of the vicinity of the production borehole.

Near-surface VSP surveys using the seismic cone penetrometer
We have found that high-quality vertical seismic profile (VSP) data can be collected for near-surface applications using the seismic cone penetrometer. Conemounted accelerometers are used as the VSP receivers, and a sledgehammer against the cone truck baseplate is used as a source. This technique eliminates the need to drill a borehole, thereby reducing the cost of the survey, and results in a ...

متن کاملAn Algorithm for Modeling and Interpretation of Seismoelectric Data
Generally speaking, seismoelectric modeling is a prospecting method based on seismic and electromagnetic waves, in which waves generated by a seismic source at the boundary of the two environments generate a relative fluid-solid motion formed as a result of antagonism between the elastic properties of the environment with the saturated fluid. This research has as its objective, a study of the e...

Three well - known source rocks of the Zagros basin and the Persian Gulf are Mesozoic in age.The Jurassic Sargelu, Albian Kazhdumi and Neocomian-Coniacian Garau formations have charged the Cretaceous reservoirs of this area. The northwest part of the Persian Gulf is strongly influenced by two major N-S trending paleohighs (Hendijan- Bahregansar-Regesafid-Izeh and Kharge- Mish) and surrounding p...
