Pressure and Temperature Interference for Geothermal Projects in Dense Production Areas: A Case Study for the Delft Area

The main objective of this study is to quantify interference effects between production and injection wells for geothermal projects that operate within the same reservoir. The secondary objective is to study the time it takes for the reservoir unit to thermally recharge after production has stopped. Two reservoir simulators are benchmarked to...

Dynamic simulation of a geothermal reservoir: Case study of the Dinantian carbonates in the Californië geothermal wells, Limburg, NL

In the context of the energy transition, rapid development of the geothermal sector in the Netherlands has to take place. The first steps have been taken by establishing the Green Deal UDG between multiple industrial consortia, which agree to share knowledge on the research and use of ultra-deep geothermal energy . The Dinantian carbonates are...

Near wellbore effects induced by CO₂ injection and the influence on injectivity in depleted gas reservoirs

Sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in depleted gas reservoirs is an attractive choice, especially in The Netherlands, to reduce CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere. Injection of CO₂ in the subsurface geological formations can distort local thermal, chemical and geomechanical equilibria. As such, it results in...
