Oil museum and home parlor in Reinkenhagen

The Reinkenhagen Oil Museum is a technology museum in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It is located in Reinkenhagen , a district of the municipality of Sundhagen in the district of Western Pomerania-Rügen . The museum is located at the location where, in 1961, a search well for oil in the GDR was first successful. On July 6, 2014, the day of the miner and the energy worker , the museum celebrated its 20th anniversary. The State Minister for Economic Affairs Harry Glawe praised the museum as “a historical testimony to mining activities in Western Pomerania. [...] Here, with the help of the museum, contemporary history that has shaped this region is preserved and preserved. "

history

The museum was opened on June 4, 1994 in the social building of the former field headquarters. Since October 25, 1995, it has been accompanied by a development association that is considered to be the "base of an incredibly lively group of oil pensioners". The research carried out by the association helped to find oil deposits in Lusatia . The main objective of the association is the processing, presentation and documentation of the oil and gas search and its promotion in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The exhibition area covers approx. 6,400 m², of which around 300 m² are allocated to the museum, the rest to an open space with further exhibits. The museum is operated by the municipality of Sundhagen.

Permanent exhibition

The exhibition shows how crude oil is produced and how it can be extracted on the mainland and offshore . Exhibits show the prospecting and exploitation of oil and gas deposits .

The entrance area starts with gifts that the drilling experts received during their work in other countries. Three large display boards with drill cores illustrate the structure of the soil in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Starting from the Mesozoic through Permian and Preperm, the visitor gets an overview of the multitude of rock layers that were found in the region during the course of oil and gas extraction. Another side is designed as a backlit slide show wall and shows the former Reinkenhagen field center, which is now a technical monument . A technological scheme illustrates the process steps that were required during dismantling. A map shows the hydrocarbon deposits and mining fields around Reinkenhagen. Another diagram shows the production development of the deposits in Northern Western Pomerania from 1961 to 1987. In addition to Reinkenhagen, the yield from the mining sites in Grimmen or Wustrow can be seen there. In addition to crude oil, 230,000,000 m³ of associated gas and 285,000 m³ of reservoir water were produced during this period . The last slide shows the structure and history of the first oil-finding and longest-used borehole E Reinkenhagen 2a / 60 (E Rehg 2/60) .

One room in the museum deals with the training of deep drilling experts in the GDR as well as their worldwide use. A wall gallery shows other oil and natural gas deposits, such as in Lütow , and another shows how this industry is reflected in philately . On display are also measuring devices for underground measurement technology, rescue equipment, instructions on how to behave in an emergency and work instructions from the active period of oil and gas production.

An exhibit that is particularly worth seeing is located in another room: model builders from the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University of Greifswald created a functional model of a deep drilling rig that was used for many years as an exhibit at the company school of VEB Erdöl-Erdgas Grimmen in Stralsund .

In the hallway of the museum there are over 350 rock samples that give the visitor an impression of the geological sequence of the region. Various petroleum samples are also set up. They range from the Cretaceous to the Keuper to the Ordovician and were compiled with the help of employees of the EEG Erdöl-Erdgas Gommern and Erdöl-Erdgas Grimmen .

The Petroleum Museum is a local history museum connected; it shows agricultural machines and tillage implements.

Outdoor area

The oil in the region around Grimmen was brought to the surface with the help of deep pumps ; To illustrate this, a deep pump drive with probe head equipment is located on the outside of the museum as a technical monument at the location of the first oil-finding well.

In addition, there is other large equipment on the premises, for example a drilling / probe repair system of the A 50Y type with a maximum torque of 4989  Nm at 1500 revolutions per minute. It has a maximum load capacity of 50 tons with a boom length of 15 to 16 meters. The scaffolding height is 22.4 meters. Together with the 9MGR drilling / mud pump , the system has a total weight of 32,104 kg and a drive power of 73.6  kW .

A 12-meter-long section of pipe from the Baltic Sea pipeline with an internal diameter of 1153 mm and a weight of 12 tons is also on display . A piece of pipe from the NEL pipeline with a length of 18 meters and a total weight of 15 tons has been erected next to it.

Oil route

Along the L30 road from Miltzow to the museum, the friends' association has set up a total of seven exhibits in the public space in order to get the visitor in the mood and to promote the production of crude oil and natural gas to the public more than before. The exhibition , known as the Petroleum Road , begins at a petrol station with wellhead equipment, leads over a model of a derrick at the Miltzow station on the Stralsund – Greifswald railway to the Reinkenhagen church . The club set up a roller chisel opposite there . From here the main street leads past an eruption cross to the museum.
