Abstract
Summary
Two potential sandstones units are present in the Lower Crteaceous in the Lower Saxony Basin. The “Valendis-Sandstone” of Valanginian age could be a primary target for geothermal use. On a regional scale, the sandstone units of the Isterberg Formation of Berriasum age in the central part of the LSB barely meet the minimum requirements for geothermal use. Nevertheless, suitable aquifer conditions may be developed on a local scale.
