Investigations of the Destruction Mechanism of High Pressure Water Jetting

As the demand for green energy is growing, geothermal energy will play an important part in the future energy mix. Geothermal energy is widely used for both direct-use and electricity generation. A viable geothermal reservoir must have a sufficiently high temperature, a fluid pathway through the rock (permeability) and a fluid that can collect...

Production Performance of Radial Jet Drilled Laterals in Tight Gas Reservoirs in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, a significant number (25+) of small tight natural gas fields are stranded. They are classified, according to the PRMS definition, as ‘contingent resources’. The combination of low GIIP and low permeability currently do not allow these fields to be developed economically without stimulation, which is usually required to...
