Active seismic surveys for drilling target characterisation in Ossola valley, ICDP expedition 5071, DIVE phase I (Drilling the Ivrea-Verbano zonE) seismic dataset

For the determination of the exact location and drilling geometry of the ICDP expedition 5071 DIVE (Drilling the Ivrea-Verbano zonE) phase 1 boreholes, we have carried out a series of active seismic experiments to image the subsurface at high resolution (Greenwood et al., 2024). The two drilling sites of DIVE phase 1 are located in the Ossola valley (Figure 1) in the Central part of the Ivrea-Verbano zone, one in Megolo di Mezzo (5071_1_A: IGSN ICDP5071EH10001, Münthener, 2024a) and the other near Ornavasso (5071_1_B: IGSN ICDP5071EH30001, Münthener, 2024a). A total of 4 seismic reflection surveys, one in Megolo, two in Ornavasso (Ornavasso primary and Or-navasso secondary), and a transect crossing from Premosello-Chiovenda south towards Megolo, make up the MicrO-SEIZE (MOS) data base. The MOS surveys were conducted over a period of 12 days mid to late June 2019, utilizing a 26,000 lb (12,247 kg) EnviroVibe2™ vibrator source. Survey planning utilised existing roads, pathways, and open grass fields to cover as much area as possible around the borehole sites, to reduce the envi-ronmental impact on cultivation, and to ease operation logistics. A full description of the data can be found in Greenwood et al. (2024) and the data description file accessible via the data download link.

3D structural geological model of the Mallik Anticline, Canadian Arctic

The Mallik Anticline is a geologic structure in the Mackenzie Delta in the Canadian Arctic. Tectonics throughout the Cenozoic, with compressional phases in the early Eocene to the late Miocene, formed this large, domed structure that is today an important source of hydrocarbons. Gas hydrates occur in the clastic sedimentary rocks of the Oligocene to Pleistocene Kugmallite, Mackenzie Bay, and Iperk sequences, which were essentially formed by deltaic processes. The presence of hydrocarbon gases within the permafrost zone in the Canadian Arctic has led to extensive exploration and production activities in the region since the mid-1960s, and the investigations by geologists and geophysicists have already been published in numerous scientific articles to date. The associated report (Chabab and Kempka, 2023) describes the implementation of the first field-scale 3D static geologic model of the Mallik site, which was created using data from well logs and 2D seismic reflection profiles. The dataset presented here provides elevation depths and thickness data of the three distinct sequence boundaries Kugmallit-Richards, Mackenzie Bay-Kugmallit and Iperk-Mackenzie Bay as well as fault data from the Mallik site.

Geochemical compositions of igneous rocks of the Central Andean orocline

Compilation of more than 1500 major- and trace-element data points, and 650 Sr-, 610 Nd-, and 570 Pb-isotopic analyses of Mesozoic-Cenozoic (190–0 Ma) magmatic rocks in southern Peru, northern Chile and Bolivia (Central Andean orocline). This compilation was initially published by Mamani et al. (2010) and was based on selected data published up until 2009, combined with new data from that study. Related key publication: Mamani, M., Wörner, G., & Sempere, T. (2010). Geochemical variations in igneous rocks of the Central Andean orocline (13°S to 18°S): Tracing crustal thickening and magma generation through time and space.

Input and resulting structural and parameterized subsurface data for a geological model of the geothermal research platform Groß Schönebeck (North German Basin)

The dataset presented in this compilation provides the input data used for the geological interpretation and for the model parameterization (Norden et al., 2022) of a 3D seismic survey in the area of the geothermal research platform Groß Schönebeck (carried out in 2017; Krawczyk et al., 2019), focussing on the deep Permo-Carboniferous geothermal targets. The geothermal research platform Groß Schönebeck is located about 50 km north of Berlin, on the southern edge of the Northeast German Basin, and is equipped with two deep wells, the E GrSk 3/90 and Gt GrSk 4/05 boreholes. In this data compilation we provide general data on the location of the boreholes and data on the applied methods and the interpretation of petrophysical properties (density, porosity, permeability, thermal properties) obtained by core analysis and well-log interpretation. Because cores were available for the E GrSk 3/90 borehole only, most of the data is referring to the borehole that was drilled more or less vertically. The other borehole (Gt GrSk 4/05) is a deviated well, drilled as a geothermal production well. Further on, we provide the main interpreted structural reflector horizons of the geological model from surface to the assumed top of sedimentary Carboniferous (for discussion of the uncertainty of this boundary please consider the comments in Norden et al., 2022) and the horizons and 3D grid properties of a parameterized simulation grid for the deep geothermal target (sedimentary Rotliegend and Permo-Carboniferous volcanic rocks).

3D structural geological model of the Central South Wales Syncline, Great Britain

South Wales is characterised by a rich variety of geologic formations and rocks of different ages and periods, and a large asymmetric syncline, as perhaps its most significant structural geological feature, extending from east to west over a length of approximately 96 km and 30 km from north to south, respectively. This oval-shaped syncline is part of the Variscan orogenic thrust and fold belt in Central Europe and covers some 2,700 km2, with coal-bearing rocks from the Upper Carboniferous (Westphalian Stage) deposited in the central syncline and older rocks outcropping in a peripheral belt around it. The coal-bearing sequence begins with Namurian grits and shales, overlain by the more productive Lower, Middle and Upper Coal Measures. A 3D structural geological model has been implemented for the central part of the South Wales Syncline and its bedrock geology. The oldest rocks in the model domain date back to the Pridoli Series from the uppermost Silurian, the youngest to the Westphalian Stage of the Upper Carboniferous. For model implementation, mainly open access data from the British Geological Survey (BGS) has been used. The final 3D structural geological model covers the entire Central South Wales Syncline and is 32.8 km wide and 36.6 km long. In total, the 3D model includes 21 fault zones and the elevation depth of ten surfaces: (1) Top Upper Coal Measures Formation; (2) Top Middle Coal Measures Formation; (3) Top Lower Coal Measures Formation; (4) Top Millstone Grit Group; (5) Top Dinantian Rocks; (6) Top Upper Devonian Rocks; (7) Top Lower Devonian Rocks (sandstone dominated); (8) Top Lower Devonian Rocks (mudstone dominated); (9) Top Pridoli Rocks; (10) Top Ludlow Rocks (in parts).
