The global reserve of conventional fossil fuel is being depleted at an
fantastic rate. The societal demand for abundant petroleum-based
energy currencies drives the search for new sources of oil and natural
gas. In many of the World's basins, the exploration for hydrocarbons
has reached a mature stage. This is particularly true for shallower
deposits (< 5000 m) of Tertiary and Mesozoic ages. Now alternative
exploration strategies and even philosphies are required. The search
for deep gas is rapidly gaining interest as a new exploration
frontier. Deep-seated reservoirs have already been drilled
successfully, such as the 9 km Lone Star Earnest Baden No. 1, in the
Anadarko basin, U.S.A., or others in the Delaware, and Val Verde
basins (see Rice), but in many petroleum provinces, deeper targets are
only now becoming attractive. The first International Deep Gas
Workshop was held in Hannover, May, 1990. Under the co-sponsorship of
the German Federal Ministry for Research and Technology (BMFT) and the
International Energy Agency (IEA), close to 200 delegates worldwide
gathered to discuss the new frontier of deep gas. The definition of
deep gas is purposefully vague, but in most parts of northern Europe
this is understood to mean pre-Westphalian sources or accumulations.
Although there was considerably delay in the publication of this
volume, this collection of papers seeks to capture the spirit of the
Hannover meeting, and to provide a basis of future activity.

Etliche erfolgreiche Bohrungen, wie die 9 km Lone Star Earnest Baden
No.1 im Anadarko Becken, USA, oder andere in den Delaware- und
Val-Verde-Becken (siehe Rice), wurden bereits in tiefgelegene Speicher
niedergebracht, aber es gibt noch viele andere
Kohlenwasserstoffprovinzen, in denen tiefere Targets nun an
Attraktivität gewinnen. Der erste Internationale Tiefengas-Workshop
fand im Mai 1990 in Hannover statt. Unter Mitverantwortlichkeit des
deutschen Bundesministeriums für Forschung und Technologie (BMFT) und
der International Energy Agency (IEA) kamen fast 200 Teilnehmer aus
aller Welt zusammen, um die Herausforderungen des Tiefengases zu
diskutieren. Die Definition von Tiefengas ist absichtlich unbestimmt,
in den meisten Teilen Nordeuropas versteht man darunter aber
präwestfale Quellen oder Akkumulationen. Trotz der beträchtlichen
Verzögerung bei der Veröffentlichung dieses Bandes versucht diese
Sammlung von Arbeiten den Geist des Workshops in Hannover
widerzuspiegeln und eine Grundlage für zukünftige Aktivitäten zu
schaffen.
