Abstract
The occurrences of natural in Germany are closely related to the occurrences of oil. The writer discusses five principal types of occurrence. 1. Natural occurs in the salt region of northwest Germany. As salt-dome structure is potentially productive of oil and gas, the writer lists 64 Saxon Zechstein salt occurrences. The most important oil fields, which also produce gas, are Wietze-Steinforde, Hanigsen-Nienhagen, Oelheim-Berkhopen, and Oberg. The principal producing horizons are in the Comanche, Jurassic, and Liassic. Gas does not occur as a gas cap above the oil, but the oil itself is rich in gas. 2. Natural occurs at Volkenroda in Thuringia in nearly flat or only slightly arched beds. The overlies the oil in Middle Zechstein dolomite below the pot sh deposits. 3. Natural occurs in the Pechelbronn oil field in the Rhine Valley graben. There are 13 producing horizons in the sandy Oligocene Pechelbronn beds. 4. Natural occurs within the area of the North German coal formations. In most places it is in the Upper Cretaceous overlying the coal-bearing Carboniferous beds. 5. Natural occurrences in Quaternary deposits are somewhat difficult to explain satisfactorily.
