Hadjisotiriou, George (author)Compositional simulation is computationally intensive for high-fidelity models due to thermodynamic equilibrium relations and the coupling of flow, transport and mass transfer. In this report, two methods for accelerated compositional simulation are outlined and demonstrated for a gas vaporization problem. The first method uses a proxy model...master thesis 2022

Kloosterman, Jaro (author)In this work, a novel globally implicit framework for reactive multiphase flow and transport has been implemented using the simulator DARTS and the geochemical package Reaktoro. This framework applies the Operator-Based Linearization (OBL) approach together with a Gibbs Energy Minimization (GEM) scheme to model complex nonlinear reactive...master thesis 2022

Margert, Andrei (author)Acidizing is a widely used technique for intensification of geothermal wells. At certain conditions, acid injection results in a formation of highly conductive channels, e.g. wormholes. The associated rock matrix dissolution is highly nonlinear and may influence the fluid flow as well as rock properties. Wormhole patterns and breakthrough time...master thesis 2021

Asadiesfahani, MAHDI (author)Evaluating an adequate computer model representing the characteristics of a subsurface reservoir is of great importance in the oil and gas industry. With recent data acquisition developments, high-resolution geological models can be generated for the subsurface reservoirs; however, uncertainties of geological data and too many details in the...master thesis 2021

de Beus, Charles (author)Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) can play a significant role in reducing anthropogenic CO2 emissions while allowing society to slowly phase out traditional energy sources. One of the main challenge in CCS is the current absence of a clear revenue model. One idea is to use the sequestered supercritical CO2 as a working fluid...master thesis 2021

Mao, Jinjie (author)In this study, we introduce the Delft Advanced Research Terra Simulator (DARTS), which employs the Operator-Based Linearization (OBL) approach to provide efficient and precise solutions for non-linear discretized equations, to simulate the polymer flooding process. This compositional simulation framework is feasible for describing complex...master thesis 2021

Tripuraneni, Sree Rama Teja (author)Energy transition extends the range of geological settings and physical processes to be taken into account in subsurface reservoir modelling. Many of these applications consider essentially anisotropic reservoir or require advanced gridding that can not be resolved consistently by conventionally used Two Point Flux Approximation (TPFA). In this...master thesis 2021

Maat, Sander (author)The goal of this study is to test out the accuracy of the upscaling approach (Jinyu Tang, 2021) for a geothermal doublet. This approach tries to simulate the physical thermal dispersion. When modeling in a geothermal reservoir it would be easy if a lot of layers can be upscaled. However, when doing upscaling one can not just take an average of...bachelor thesis 2021

Doff, Jelmer (author)To produce accurate 3D fluvial architecture models, it is important to understand the influence of internally generated autogenic controls versus externally generated allogenic controls. When studying a fluvial system, autogenic controls such as river meandering and avulsions generally dominate over 103-104 years. Allogenic controls such as...master thesis 2021

Wang, Chenyang (author)Transition to cleaner energy while sustaining the heat demand necessity has always been an emphasized topic in the recent years. With the slowly declining utilization and production of natural gas in Netherlands, geothermal energy shows a promising future in providing sustainable power for heating and various applications. For majority of...master thesis 2020

Morshuis, Niek (author)Geological storage of COኼ is a crucial and upcoming technology to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the buoyant characteristic of injected gas, the security of underground storage is a major concern. To asses the security of COኼ storage, an accurate prediction of the gas plume behaviour is essential. In this study, a fully...master thesis 2019

Bļinovs, Arturs (author)Before performing a field production forecast, an inverse problem has to be solved. Resulting in an ensemble of models that include the integration of real data with a complex physical and geological data describing subsurface processes. For large models, this approach can be very time and computationally expensive, therefore we propose an...master thesis 2019

Ahmad Mohammad Tahir, Ahmad (author)The hot water produced from a geothermal doublet possesses energy, which once utilized, the water cools down and is re-introduced back into the same reservoir at a sufficient distance using an injector well. As cold water flows through the reservoir, it acquires thermal energy from surrounding in-situ rocks. This process recurs until a...master thesis 2019

Kala, Keshav (author)We present a novel nonlinear formulation for modeling reactive-compositional flow and transport in presence of complex phase behavior due to combination of thermodynamic and chemical equilibrium in multi-phase systems. We apply this formulation to model precipitation/dissolution of minerals in reactive flow in subsurface reservoirs. The proposed...master thesis 2018

Sartori Suarez, Andrea (author)In the modeling of fractured reservoirs, the spatial representation plays an important role to enclose the heterogeneities present in the subsurface. The reservoir flow response obtained from simulation in time is determined by the type of method and by the scale of the representation (fine or coarse). As a deterministic model cannot capture the...master thesis 2018

Rizwan, Yawar (author)To date no efforts were published to (numerically) compute the pressure transients following shut-in for a fracture that during pumping was propagating at an arbitrary, not necessarily constant velocity; and to use these computations to systematically understand the physics (type curves) of pressure decline after shut-in for both very rapidly...master thesis 2017

Fuciños Manrique, R.L. (author)Oil shales are sedimentary rocks containing organic matter in the form of Kerogen which accounts for more than 5 trillion barrels of oil in place according to Birol, 2010; therefore, oil shales represents a plausible solution for the constantly increasing demand for hydrocarbons. Oil shale production is currently done using two different...master thesis 2017

Awadalla, T. (author)Gas flow in fractured nano-porous shale formations is complicated by a hierarchy of structural features, ranging from nanopores to microseismic and hydraulic fractures, and by several transport mechanisms that differ from standard viscous flow used in reservoir modelling. In small pores, self-diffusion becomes more important than advection, also...master thesis 2017
