Microbial life in the continental <q>deep biosphere</q> is closely\udlinked to geodynamic processes, yet this interaction is poorly studied. The\udCheb Basin in the western Eger Rift (Czech Republic) is an ideal place for\udsuch a study because it displays almost permanent seismic activity along\udactive faults with earthquake swarms up to ML 4.5 and intense degassing of\udmantle-derived CO2 in conduits that show up at the surface in form of\udmofettes. We hypothesize that microbial life is significantly accelerated in\udactive fault zones and in CO2 conduits, due to increased fluid and\udsubstrate flow. To test this hypothesis, pilot hole HJB-1 was drilled in\udspring 2016 at the major mofette of the Hartoušov mofette field, after\udextensive pre-drill surveys to optimize the well location. After drilling\udthrough a thin caprock-like structure at 78.5 m, a CO2 blowout occurred\udindicating a CO2 reservoir in the underlying sandy clay. A pumping test\udrevealed the presence of mineral water dominated by Na+, Ca2+,\udHCO3−, SO42− (Na-Ca-HCO3-SO4 type) having a temperature\udof 18.6 °C and a conductivity of 6760 µS cm−1. The\udhigh content of sulfate (1470 mg L−1) is typical of Carlsbad Spa\udmineral waters. The hole penetrated about 90 m of Cenozoic sediments and\udreached a final depth of 108.50 m in Palaeozoic schists. Core recovery was\udabout 85 %. The cored sediments are mudstones with minor carbonates,\udsandstones and lignite coals that were deposited in a lacustrine environment.\udDeformation structures and alteration features are abundant in the core.\udOngoing studies will show if they result from the flow of CO2-rich\udfluids or not
