Reyes Lastiri, D. (author)Heating constitutes about 40% of the final energy consumption at TU Delft. In the present, the district heating system in campus obtains its energy from the combustion of natural gas in a combined heat and power plant. Although this plant produces heat and electricity with an efficiency over 80%, the dependance on a fossil fuel presents an...master thesis 2013

Bisdom, K. (author)The main challenge of naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) is understanding how fractures behave in the subsurface outside the radius of influence of wells. Fractured outcrop analogues provide geological concepts that can be used to extrapolate fracture data outside the well control. Numerous methods for studying fractured outcrops are...master thesis 2011

Holt, S. (author)The upstream oil and gas industry focuses increasingly on unconventional gas resources to maintain the level of its hydrocarbon reserves. To unlock the full potential of gas shale reservoirs, horizontal wells are drilled and active stimulation of the reservoirs, in the form of multi-stage hydraulic fracturing, is performed. This new technique...master thesis 2011

Hoekstra, B.E. (author)In-Situ Combustion (ISC) is a thermal enhanced oil recovery method. Therefore, air or oxygen-enriched air is injected in the reservoir. The oxygen reacts with part of the hydrocarbon forming heat and combustion products. The released heat increases the temperature locally in the reservoir and lowers the viscosity of the oil. Formed gaseous...master thesis 2011

Boeser, D.M. (author)Clean drinking water is essential for life. In Bangladesh and the northern part of India however, around the 30 and 40 million people are estimated to be exposed to Arsenic in drinking water at concentrations above the 0.05 mg/L. Studies show that the aquifers of Holocene age near the Ganga River are polluted. These aquifers are between the 10...bachelor thesis 2011

Rutten, G.L. (author)Beachrocks are lithified coastal sedimentary formations which form inside the beach body on short time scales, possibly within a year. Beachrocks can play an important role in the evolution of a shoreline as they fix the normally loose sediments. On the other hand, the evolution of a shoreline could play an important role in the genesis of...master thesis 2011

Grognet, M.F. (author)More than the half of the Netherlands is under the high level of sea and rivers. Therefore, evaluating the safety of dykes is primordial. A specific interest is given to peat dykes safety which suffer of a lack of knowledge which manifested recently by some peat dykes failures (Van Baars 2005). The behaviour of peat is also of interest in others...master thesis 2011

Menzel-Jones, G. (author)Elastodynamic and electromagnetic processes are coupled together in saturated, porous media, by a phenomenon known as the electrokinetic effect. In horizontally layered media, the seismoelectric system, which contains the coupled elastodynamic and electromagnetic systems, can be separated into two independent modes of propagation: SH-TE and P-SV...master thesis 2011

Matev, P.S. (author)This report presents the results of a study on the reservoir quality of Main Buntsandstein formations in regard with possible geothermal energy development and exploration in the Zuid Holland area of the West Netherlands Basin. The assessment of the possibility of using the Triassic Buntsandstein sandstone reservoirs for geothermal application...master thesis 2011

Flores, J.S. (author)The stratigraphic and tectonic framework of the Brent Group and their respective depositional environments is well studied and documented in the literature. The lower progradational Brent deltaic sequence is the response of a high sediment supply rate outpacing the accommodation space rate caused by subsidence and an overall sea level rise stage...master thesis 2011

Johnson, J.O. (author)In this research, the influence of internal syn-sedimentary structures on the pattern of deposition and distributions of deltaic clastic reservoir deposits in the Tomboy Field Area, offshore Nigeria is investigated using seismic modeling attributes (deposit thickness, root mean square (RMS) and maximum amplitude, structural contours, time slices...master thesis 2011

Fonseca, R.M. (author)Recent improvements in dynamic reservoir modeling have led to an increase in the application of model-based optimization of hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs. Numerous studies and articles have indicated the possibility of improving reservoir management using these dynamic models, coupled with methods to reduce uncertainties in the static models,...master thesis 2011

Van Eldert, J. (author)In the optimization of open pit mine design, the Lerchs-Grossmann algorithm is the industry standard, although network flow algorithms are also well suited, efficient, and known. The stochastic version of the conventional (deterministic) network flow algorithm is based on the use of multiple simulated realizations of the ore deposit, thus...master thesis 2011

Van Overveldt, A.S. (author)An experimental study on the leak-off of oil based drilling fluid sandstone cores is reported. First we revised the theoretical models for the rheology of the drilling fluid, the flow behavior of drilling fluids in the drill pipe and annulus, and filtration mechanisms. Then systematic static leak-off experiments were carried out using an...master thesis 2011

Lietaert, B.K.J. (author)The aim of this research project is to develop a hazard map for punch-through failure during jack-up rig installation in the Gulf of Suez. This map can be used to make an upfront assessment of unfavorable foundation conditions at a proposed installation site. This is not self-evident due to the complex geological setting of the area. Data to...master thesis 2011

Kasiemkhan, A.R. (author)Concrete is the most commonly used building material in our time. For every person on earth, more than one cubic meter of concrete is produced every year. Cement is the main feedstock for the production of concrete. Cement makes up about 15% of the mass of concrete. The consumption of concrete will grow in the coming decennia [2]. Beside these...bachelor thesis 2011

Wijermars, E.A.M. (author)In Alberta (Canada) bitumen is extracted from the mined oil sands ore by a process that uses hot water. This process produces large amounts of tailings, which is a mixture of water and sediment particles. These tailings are stored in large ponds to allow the sediments to settle out of suspension. The water is recycled in the hot-water process...bachelor thesis 2011

Kimenai, J. (author)Dit afstudeeronderzoek richt zich op het grondvervormingsgedrag naast aan te leggen bouwputten. Vooral bij diepe bouwputten in stedelijke omgeving is het onduidelijk hoe en waar het vervormingsgedrag, afhangt van de Nederlandse specifieke omstandigheden zoals de grondopbouw, belendingen en funderingen, tot stand komt.master thesis 2011
