Episode: 2019 Stimulation Geoven geothermal project at Vendenheim

Description

Geoven is a geothermal project initially managed by Fonroche Géothermie, then taken over by Arverne. This project targets a deep reservoir (around 5km) close to a regional fault. 

Two wells were drilled, GT1 and GT2. From April to November 2019, several stimulation operations were carried out on the 2 wells GT1 and GT2.

A first interruption took place after an initial period of seismicity (11/2019 - 01/2020, MLv=3.0 max) in Strasbourg and Vendenheim.

Some of the data have been extrapolated from the Figures presented in the expert report, publicly available.

GeORG 3D Geological Model —Vendenheim

Dataset

The GeORG project provides a 3D geological model of the Upper Rhine Graben. The BRGM distributes the French section, and a 10 km cut‑out around Soultz‑sous‑Forêts was extracted, including major lithological interfaces (Plio‑Quaternary to Hercynian), salt diapirs, and faults.

Geological sections from GeORG - Vendenheim

Dataset

The GeORG project (2008–2012) produced a 3D geological model of the Upper Rhine Graben and a comprehensive geoscientific database, including deep‑structure maps, temperature models, and geological cross‑sections accessible online. Several GeORG products around the Vendenheim geothermal site were extracted from the map viewer.
