| Abstract | The characterisation of the tectono-sedimentary environment as well as the knowledge of the recent maximum horizontal stress regime in reservoir scale is crucial for projecting directional and horizontal drilling of multiple borehole geothermal systems. This is necessary to initiate optimal conditions for hydraulic conductivity of faults and fractures inside the reservoir. The in-situ laboratory Gro? Schˆnebeck is installed in a former gas exploration well and part of a interdisciplinary project to develop geothermal technologies necessary for electricity production. Various hydraulic stimulation techniques were performed in a period of four years (2000-2003) to enhance the productivity in siliciclastic and volcanic formations of the Rotliegend. |
