Scientific evaluation of the geological and geophysical results of the well "Mürztal Thermal 1" for publication in a technical journal.

Activities:

Documentation and scientific evaluation of the results of the deep well Mürztal Thermal 1:

• Dokumentation und wissenschaftliche Auswertung der Bohrergebnisse:
• Dokumentation und Auswertung der bohrtechnischen Beobachtungen
• Bearbeitung und Auswertung der Bohrkleinproben im Neogen und Aussagen zur Entwicklungsgeschichte des Miozänbeckens
• Bearbeitung der Bohrkleinproben und Anfertigung von Dünnschliffen in den Einheiten des Grundgebirges hinsichtlich einer geologisch-tektonischen Zuordnung
• Erstellung eines geologisch-stratigrafischen Schichtprofils der Bohrung
• Neubearbeitung und Auswertung der geophysikalischen Bohrlochmessungen
• Documentation and evaluation of drilling observations
• Processing and evaluation of cuttings in the Neogene and statements on the historical development of the Miocene basin
• Processing of cuttings and preparation of thin sections in units of the bedrock with regard to a geological tectonic mapping
• Generating of a geological stratigraphic profile of the borehole
• Revision and evaluation of geophysical borehole loggings

Incorporating the results into a regional geological model (with regard to the sinking of a security drilling Mürztal Thermal 2):

• Reprocessing and reinterpretation of the reflection seismic profile
• Performing check-shot surveys in order to improve the seismic velocity model
• Structural geological special mapping in order to investigate the rocks and faulted zones found during the drilling in above-ground exposures
• Updating of the regional geological and tectonic model concepts

Evaluation of the hydrochemical and isotope hydrochemical investigations (as a basis for an extended and diversified material use of thermal water):

• Evaluation of the hydraulic and hydrochemical inevstigations and isotopic measurements of waters and gases, notably in the context of the above-ground occurrence of deep groundwaters and carbon dioxide surrounding the are of the borehole
• Statements on the regeneration conditions of the developed resources
• Geochemical model calculations to clarify rock reactions and the origin of the waters
• Statements on the material composition of the developed resources with regard to diversified use
