LGRB-BW SPK MOL: Barrier Potential Maps for the Molasse Basin

Potential maps of storage and barrier rocks in the Baden-Württemberg part of the Molasse basin were prepared by the LGRB. The data shows the barrier potential of the tuber marrow formation based on rock depth and thickness, as well as evidence points and disturbances. The dataset was last updated on December 31, 2010.

Use Cases

• Assess subsurface storage suitability based on rock depth and thickness.
• Identify geological disturbances for risk analysis in storage site planning.
• Map barrier rock potential for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects.
• Integrate geological evidence points for regional subsurface modeling.

Strengths

• Maps were prepared based on available geological data and uniform evaluation criteria.
• The dataset covers a specific geological region (Baden-Württemberg part of the Molasse basin).

Limitations

• Last updated 2010-12-31 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
