Drilling data for the Free State of Thuringia

Drilling data provide information about, among other things, the spatial location, the depth reached and the purpose of a well (“trim data”) as well as the drilled rock layers (“layer data”). In the Federal Republic of Germany, the State Geological Services (SGD) are responsible at state level for the storage, processing and sharing of information on drilling. Each stepped hole shall be reported to the competent authorities in accordance with the Geology Data Act. The joint Internet application “Bbohrpunktkarte Deutschland” is a central portal to provide an overview of available drilling data across countries. The application allows nationwide research for drilling based on the most important master data attributes. In addition, an order request for selected bores can be made via the contact form to the competent authorities. For the INSPIRE Annex II topic Geology, the data released by the German State Geological Services (SGD) as part of the BoreholeML2INSPIRE project are technically prepared and provided by the INSPIRE View and Download Service “German Borehole Location”. The drill points for each state are available for download in an INSPIRE-compliant GML file. The GML file is provided together with a Readme.txt file in ZIP format (e.g. GBL-INSPIRE_Thuringia.zip). The Readme text file (German/English) contains detailed information about the content of the GML file.
