BachelorEnd Project: Real-time anomaly detection in critical Rabobank Processes

Real-time processing of log data can give valuable insights in the behaviour of systems and processes. The Rabobank is a large bank and has several of these systems and processes, one of such is the QR device registration process. In order to monitor this process, an application was built which detects abnormal behaviour. The application reads...

Reservoir compaction in shallow gas reservoirs: The impact of production-induced reservoir compaction on the recovery of gas from shallow reservoirs

Compaction occurs in many consolidated hydrocarbon reservoirs and is responsible for both improvement and loss of recovery. This study assesses the effects of rock compaction and the consequences on the production and recovery in unconsolidated shallow gas reservoir a topic of which little is known. The compaction behaviour in unconsolidated to...

Reliability of a dike influenced by a building: Development of a probabilistic method for slope stability of a dike containing a building inside the soil profile

In this research the reliability of dikes are studied that are influenced by the presence of buildings. Along many Dutch dikes (residential) buildings are present. These buildings may influence the reliability of the dike positevely and or negatively. In this study a probabilistic method is developed to determine the influence of a building,...
