Data on the diffusivity of hydrogen through rocks are published here. The studied rocks are related to storage formations, namely rock salt (salt caverns), sandstone (porous aquifer) and mudstone (cap rock). To quantify hydrogen diffusion rates in these rocks, a new experimental set up was build and tested to obtain break-through times and diffusion coefficients for dry and wet rock samples. The first data set is presented here. The main objectives of the study were (i) to verify the functionality and practicability of the experimental setup and (ii) to provide a first characterization of the H2 permeability of different rock types in context of hydrogen reservoirs.
This data publication contains a seismic survey which was acquired in the Mont Terri Underground Rock Laboratory (URL) in January 2019. The aim of the SI-A experiment (Seismic Imaging Ahead of and around underground infrastructure) is to provide a seismic characterization at the meso scale and to investigate the feasibility of tomographic and reflection imaging in argillaceous environments.
The survey covered the different facies types of Opalinus Clay: shaly facies, carbonate -rich sandy facies and sandy facies (Bossart et al. 2017). Three different seismic sources (impact, vibro, ELVIS) were used to acquire the seismic data. The impact and magnetostrictive vibro sources were particularly designed for seismic exploration in the underground (Giese et al. 2005, Richter et al. 2018). The ELVIS source was mainly designed for near-surface investigations on roads or in open terrain (Krawczyk et al. 2012). All data were recorded on 32 3-component geophones (GS-14-L3, 28 Hz) which were deployed in 2 m deep boreholes, fixed at the tip of rock anchors.
The data publication covers raw and preprocessed data stored in SEG-Y format.
The dataset contains SEG-Y data of a 3D seismic in situ experiment in the Mont Terri URL, Switzerland. The data were acquired using a pneumatic impact source and 3-C geophones, installed in boreholes or on the tunnel wall. The data publication covers the raw data (individual hits per shot point) and the vertically stacked data stored in SEG-Y format. The survey geometry (source coordinates, receiver coordinates) is included.
