S-wave experiments for the exploration of a deep geothermal carbonate reservoir in the German Molasse Basin

Abstract There are many successful geothermal projects that exploit the Upper Jurassic aquifer at 2–3 km depth in the German Molasse Basin. However, up to now, only P-wave seismic exploration has been carried out. In an experiment in the Greater Munich area, we recorded S-waves that were generated b...
