An overlooked aquifer in the Netherlands: Medium depth geothermal potential of the Breda Formation in the Zuiderzee Low: Reservoir characterization, dynamic simulation and legislation in a medium deep aquifer

Geothermal energy in the Netherlands is growing in general, however, medium deep geothermal (200 - 1500 m depth) is lagging behind while the potential at these depths could be very high. Development is held back by little geologic knowledge of this interval as well as legislative constraints. Better understanding of the reservoir characteristics...

Analysis of Formation Gas Processing in Geothermal Projects

The current production of geothermal heat is not yet considered completely sustainable, since CO2 is emitted. The majority of the emissions from geothermal energy are related to formation gas, for the majority consisting of CO2 and methane (CH4). The amount of (resulting) CO2 emissions due to formation gas is determined by the composition and...
