Abstract

Between 2012 and 2014, in Rittershoffen, in the Upper Rhine Graben, two geothermal boreholes (GRT-1 and GRT-2) reached the granitic basement at a depth of around 2150 m. The wells crossed about 1160 m of Cenozoic and 1050 m of Mesozoic. In the Cenozoic, these wells crossed the greatest part of the Eocene, the lower part of the Oligocene and a thinner Pliocene. The Quaternary is poorly represented (less than 10 m). In the Mesozoic, the wells crossed the Lower Dogger, the entire Lias and the entire Triassic. A reduced thickness of about 50 m of Upper Permian terminates the sedimentary column before entering into the granitic basement. A major erosional unconformity separates the Middle Jurassic from the Tertiary units (the Upper Jurassic, entire Cretaceous and Paleocene are absent). The Rittershoffen drilled doublets were the subject of particular attention concerning the acquisition of a very precise stratigraphic profile. In this paper, we give the recognition criteria for the fifty-seven formations crossed by the GRT-1 well and their upper and lower boundaries as well as their specific gamma ray signatures. The data are presented in four figures: a general complete log displaying the main sets and three detailed, precise logs showing the sedimentary formations overhanging the granitic basement: the Tertiary, the Jurassic, the Triassic, the Permian and the basement.

Abstract

Since the introduction of a new French pricing system for geothermal energy in 2010, Alsace has been the most dynamic region in France for deep geothermal drilling at high temperatures (>150°C). Thus, the geological approach, which has been essential for the Rittershoffen boreholes, will be even more for future projects given the lack of geological knowledge of some deep parts of the URG. This study aims at understanding the stratigraphic and sequential architecture of the formations of the URG sedimentary cover. 15 deep wells were reinterpreted and correlated throughout the basin, allowing the development of a complete stratigraphic column including the top and base of each formation. These reinterpretations also highlighted the characteristic gamma-ray signal (GR) of each of the formations in the URG stratigraphic column. In addition, the lithostratigraphic characterization of the transition between the basement and the sedimentary cover was the subject of an important research focus., Depuis la mise en place en 2010, d’une nouvelle tarification française sur le tarif de l’énergie géothermique, l’Alsace est la région de France la plus dynamique quant à la réalisation de forages géothermiques profonds à haute température (>150°C). Ainsi, l’approche géologique, qui a été primordiale pour les forages de Rittershoffen, le sera encore davantage pour les projets à venir compte tenu de la méconnaissance géologique de certaines zones profondes du bassin rhénan. Cette étude propose d’appréhender la compréhension de l’architecture stratigraphique et séquentielle des formations de la couverture sédimentaire rhénane. 15 puits profonds ont été réinterprétés et corrélés à travers l’ensemble du bassin, permettant l’élaboration d’une colonne stratigraphique complète incluant le sommet et la base de chaque formation. Ces réinterprétations ont également mis en lumière le signal caractéristique de la diagraphie gamma-ray (GR) de chacune des formations de la colonne stratigraphique rhénane. De plus, la caractérisation lithostratigraphique du passage entre le socle et la couverture sédimentaire a fait l’objet d’un axe important de recherche.
