Exergy analysis of the use of geothermal energy and carbon capture, transportation and storage in underground aquifers

At the moment global climate change is one of the most prominent environmental and energy issues of our life time. Currently CO2 levels in the atmosphere stand at 387 ppm, almost 40% higher since the start of the industrial revolution and the highest for at least the last 650,000 years.

A core study to determine the heterogeneities in the Delft Sandstone Member in the Moerkapelle Field

A homogeneous dynamic reservoir model has been build for the Delft Sandstone Member, but geological formations are never completely homogeneous. The objective of this study is to increase knowledge about the heterogeneity of the Delft Sandstone Member for the construction of a future heterogeneous dynamic reservoir model of the Delft Sandstone...
