This reports compiles the existing geological information of field sites of interest to S4CE. The report includes the depth and location of the geologic formations of interest, the distance from aquifers, the position of known pre-existing faults, etc. S4CE will collect baseline information regarding all environmental risks (e.g., microseismic activity, water quality, emissions, etc.). These data are essential for quantifying the effects of anthropogenic operations on the environmental risks, and for completing Task 5.7. It will also be required to completely understand the instrumentation available at the 4 field sites, for properly deploying the technologies invented and developed by S4CE. Finally, this task is responsible for coordinating the collection of samples (rock, biological and gaseous), which are required for implementing the technologies discussed in WP3 (CoreVault, PUSH50 and thermo-genic vs. bio-genic methane differentiation) and for characterizing the samples, as described in WP4. This document has been prepared in close collaboration with the colleagues working at the five sites namely Ragna Björk Bragadóttir and Sandra Ósk Snæbjörnsdóttir from the CarbFix project1 and the Nesjavellir site located at the Hellisheidi power plant in Iceland, Ryan Law from the United Downs Deep Geothermal Power (UDDGP) project2 in Cornwall (United Kingdom), Thomas Bloch from the St.Galler Stadtwerke in Switzerland3 and Roberto Ferrario from the ENI oil treatment center4 in Trecate (Italy). The field sites are also shown in the map below (Error! Reference source not found.). In the following each field site is described separately from North to South.
