| Abstract | A multidisciplinary approach to make the generation of geothermal electricity available in the region of the North German Basin was launched in 2000. The goal is to learn how to stimulate a variety of rock types to improve flow rates in low permeability geothermal reservoirs. An insitu down-hole laboratory was established by opening and deepening the former gas. |
