  • Energy Resources in Germany 8
    ENERGY RESOURCES GERMANY 8 Energy Resources in Germany 8.1 Petroleum in Germany 8.1.1 Petroleum Deposits and Production History In the whole of Germany, only small volumes of crude oil are produced on an international scale, most of it in the Federal States of Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony. However, the oil fi eld Mittelplate (Fig. 8.1) is a large oil fi eld even by international standards. Located in the North-Sea tidal fl at area off the coast of Schleswig-Holstein, it is the largest of pres- ently 44 productive oil fi elds in Germany. In 2007, it produced about 2.1 Mt of petroleum from Dogger sands at the margin of the Buesum salt dome. In total, this fi eld contributed more than 60 % of the total German petroleum production of 3.4 Mt. A large portion of the remaining annual production originates from a petroleum province in the West of the Emsland district which geologically belongs to the Lower-Saxony Basin. The start of pro- duction there occurred a long time ago. For example, the large anticlinal oil reservoir Rühle has been producing since 1949 from the Bentheim sandstone of the Lower Cretaceous. Typical traps are anticlinal structures, but also stratigraphic traps and unconformity traps (Fig. 8.1). Approximately a quarter of the petroleum production in Germany originates from Lower Cretaceous sandstone reservoirs and about two thirds of the production comes from Dogger-sandstones. In Germany, light oils with a density between 0.8 and 0.93 g/cm3 are being produced. The principal source rocks are of Lower Cretaceous and Lower Jurassic age.
