Abstract
The Heidelberg Basin (HB) is a part of the Upper Rhine Graben that has undergone very strong subsidence throughout its existence. We present the first results of three-dimensional structural modelling of the basin, based on interpretation of reflection seismics, and decompaction based on our own porosity data measured from core material. Firstly, we mapped six horizons from all available industrial (ca. 100 km) and our own reflection seismic sections (ca. 15 km), which lie within a 8 km radius around the Heidelberg Uni-Nord 1/2 boreholes. We interpret these horizons as Base Quaternary, Internal and Base Pliocene, Base Upper Miocene, Internal and Base Mid Miocene Hydrobien beds.
