Within the H2020 project DEEPEGS, pressure and temperature gauges were installed behind production casing of well RN-15/DEEPEGS/IDDP-2. Here, we publish the available data gathered from cementing the production casing in 2016 until the end of the DEEPEGS project in 2020. 8 thermocouples were installed behind casing at 329.3 m (TC8), 629.3 m (TC7), 929.3 m (TC6), 1529.3 m (TC5), 1829.3 m (TC4), 2129.3 m (TC3), 2329.3 m (TC2) and 2629.3 m (TC1) depths. In addition, a pressure and temperature gauge was installed at 1229.3 m depths (ERE p/T). All depth are measured depth (MD) below ground level. During installation TC3 was damaged. During cementation, all other TCs as well as the ERE gauge were operating. After the end of drilling, subsequently all TCs except TCs 7 & 8 failed. Until April 2020, data can only be reported for the two remaining thermocouples 7 & 8. Before publication, data was manually cleaned for obvious erroneous readings. Therefore, gaps in the data are inevitable and the readings are not fully continuous.
