Abstract
The permocarboniferous sediments in the northern upper rhine rift valley represent a possible geothermal reservoir. Depth and temperature data from hydrocarbon exploration in the 1970-1980ies prove this. A integrated structural, stratigraphic and facial model based on seismic data is build. Integration of well data and outcrop analogue studies leads to higher resolution. The static 3D-model is the base for the following thermo-hydraulic simulation while geothermal usage. The 3D-model shows large fault systems with high throws. The outcrop studies indicate coarse sediments with high lateral continuity and good poroperm properties. The thermohydraulic simulation of geothermal usage shows a sustainible reservoir unit with intraformational flow and connectivity along fault systems.
