Identification and evaluation of CCS sweet spots in the West Netherlands Basin

Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) is expected to become a serious CO2-emission reduction technology in the Netherlands, for example in the mature West Netherlands Basin (WNB). This study aims to identify and evaluate potential CO2-storage reservoirs based on geological boundary conditions. These criteria are applied to a basin-scale...

Process-based modelling of turbidity-current hydrodynamics and sedimentation

The production potential of deep-water reservoirs is primarily determined by rock bulk volume, porosity and permeability. Quantification of the geometry and spatial distribution of reservoir sands in deep-water deposits can provide crucial information to assess sand body volume, connectivity and the distribution of permeability baffles. This...
