using three-dimensional geological models

Executive Project Summary as in the GeoMol Application Form:
To meet the EU’s ambitious targets for carbon emission reduction,
renewable energy production must strongly be upgraded and made more
efficient and capable for grid energy storage. Alpine Foreland Basins
feature a unique geological inventory which can contribute substantially to
tackle these challenges. Deep ‘Molasse’ basins at the fringe of the Alpine
mountain range offer an abundant geothermal potential and storage
capacity for weather-dependent wind and solar energy, as well as space
for underground storage of gas or CO2. Exploiting these natural
subsurface resources (geo-potentials) will strongly compete with existing
oil and gas claims and groundwater issues. Thus, the efficient use and
sustainable management of geo-potentials requires a holistic and
transnational approach. In order to serve transnational decision-making,
GeoMol will provide consistent 3-dimensional subsurface information
based on coherent evaluation methods and commonly developed criteria
and guidelines.

The Alpine Foreland Basins – space of competing demands
Hydrocarbon deposits, underground gas storage, claims for deep geothermal energy production, area
of suitable depth for CCS and northern limit of known structural traps (from Diepolder & Schulz 2011)
Why ?
Convegno GIT – Società Geologica Italiana, Chiavenna 18/06/2013 – Dr. Gerold Diepolder, LfU
Why ?
The Alpine Foreland Basins – space for subsurface land use planning
The solution:
Land use planning of the
subsurface permitting a
non-conflicting multi-purpose
utilisation controlled by vertically
zoned licensing.
GeoMol will provide the geological
prerequisite:
Holistic and unbiased
3-dimensional information on all
geo-potentials for a subsequent
distinction and prioritisation.

The Alpine Foreland Basins – space full of geo data
For the Bavarian part of the Molasse Basin: ca. 18,000 km of 2D seismic sections, 16 3D seismic
projects , more than 800 deep drillings and a sound foundation of existing regional 3D models
Why ?
Convegno GIT – Società Geologica Italiana, Chiavenna 18/06/2013 – Dr. Gerold Diepolder, LfU
Geology and the resources and risks connected with it do not respect
political boundaries.
The impact of many subsurface uses is much larger than the permit area.
The European Commission requests harmonised information.
For sustainable results we have to work cross-border!
Basic framework conditions must be considered:
Why ?
To provide a holistic, 3-dimensional and unbiased
evaluation of the subsurface, based on existing data
for a subsequent grading, distinction and prioritisation
of all geo-potentials.

How ?
Convegno GIT – Società Geologica Italiana, Chiavenna 18/06/2013 – Dr. Gerold Diepolder, LfU
Who are the users? Do they need 3D models or only 3D derived
information? (analogy with meteorology: very simple information
from very complex 4D/5D models that are not visible
for the user)
Only very few people can read a geological map
Even fewer can use a geological 3D model
What’s needed ?
What do the users actually require for their work?
To make accessible the best geological information existing is a core
function of geological survey organisations.
GeoMol will provide unbiased, 3-dimensional, trans-nationally harmonised
information.

What do they need ?
Convegno GIT – Società Geologica Italiana, Chiavenna 18/06/2013 – Dr. Gerold Diepolder, LfU
Depth serialised map sets (GIS) for regionalised parameters
Ready to use 3D-modells (parameterised, incl. temperature model)
Guidelines and Best Practice Manuals for the sustainable planning and
management of geo-potentials as well as facts for the citizens dialogue
To provide all this we need
a seamless trans-nationally harmonised 3D model including all relevant
parameters which can be regionalised,
a geo-data infrastructure to ensure full interoperability among all
users/stakeholder and the data providers,
and, on a medium term, a harmonisation of data policy to allow easier
access to the base data required
The GeoMol Stakeholder Survey revealed as most wanted (preliminary):
