Doesburg, Myrthe (author)Natural fractures play a crucial role in many sustainable subsurface applications, particularly in reservoirs with low primary porosity and permeability. Therefore, fracture analysis has become a fundamental aspect of geosciences, often starting with fracture interpretation from borehole image logs. It has been widely recognized that...master thesis 2023

Klijn, Mats (author)The carbon energy economy is gradually transforming into a sustainable energy economy, of which green hydrogen is regarded as one of the key players within it. However, although green hydrogen is spoken about extensively, significant production volumes and applications are yet to be introduced globally. The same holds for the Netherlands....master thesis 2021

van der Hulst, Tim (author)This study investigated the three possible main causes of injectivity reduction in geothermal wells (suspended solids, scaling, biological activity). That has been done by obtaining water samples at three operating geothermal doublet locations in the Netherlands. This paper contains new geothermal data and the interpretation of them. At the...master thesis 2019

Stallone, A. (author)Fractures and faults play an important role in controlling the flow and transport properties in a reservoir and that is the main reason for which their characterization is very important in hydrocarbon exploration. In addition to this, the possibility of characterizing fractures can represent a great advantage in other fields, like geothermal...master thesis 2012

Marelis, Arjan (author)Accurate and efficient predictions on the behavior of fluid flow and heat transport are required in the development of low-enthalpy geothermal reservoirs in fractured formations. Key challenges include the demand for high-resolution computational grids, the non-linear behavior of the system due to strong mass-heat coupling and the presence of...master thesis 2020

Smits, Sophie (author)This report contains the results of the two thesis studies that finalise a combined MSc--programs of Reservoir Geology and Science Communication. The first part of the report comprises the multi-scale data (kilometers to meters scale) analysis of a) the large--scale architecture of the subsurface Daly Waters Arch which was obtained from seismic...master thesis 2020

Haryo Dwi Prabowo, Haryo (author)In the Netherlands, the geothermal application is implemented to produce heat from a sedimentary aquifer in the subsurface for greenhouses and district heating. The most commonly used configuration is a doublet of wells, in which one injection- and one production well is drilled to produce warm water and re-inject cool water in the same target...master thesis 2018

Brandon, Daniël (author)The world has been facing a detrimental climate change since the beginning of the industrial era due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are expected to increase exponentially whereas the energy sector is the largest pollutant. Households in the Netherlands are one of the dominant final end users of energy and a transition...master thesis 2019

Alhamad Mahmood Abdulaziz M, Mahmood (author)The aim of this study is to reduce the risk of the ongoing Geothermal exploration effort in Geneva Basin by estimating the influence of the natural fracture on the reservoir properties. A Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) was generated to resemble the fracture network in the Lower Cretaceous carbonate reservoir. The DFN modelling approach is using...master thesis 2021

Biemans, B.C.B. (author)This thesis looks into the possibility to produce geothermal energy in the Roer Valley Graben. The locations in this area are limited due to the low permeability of the deep Triassic layers. Fractures can enhance the heat production by increasing the effective permeability and decrease the pressure that is needed to produce the heat. However,...master thesis 2014

Ilangovan, N. (author)Experimental studies and three dimensional finite element core scale and field scale models were used to study the effect of calcite dissolution on low-enthalpy sandstone geothermal reservoirs. A series of core flooding experiments were conducted, monitoring the porosity and permeability at 150 ◦C and 20 bars back pressure to see the effect of...master thesis 2016

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

Wester, Niels (author)The Port of Rotterdam Authority (PoRA) aims to be CO2 neutral by 2050. To achieve this goal, they have proposed three steps to make an energy transition. The transition focuses on shifting from fossil energy towards renewable energy, like wind energy, hydrogen and geothermal heat. The Port of Rotterdam (PoR) is an important area to make this...master thesis 2021

Reith, Dominique (author)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...master thesis 2018

Van Vliet, E.H.A. (author)Plans have been made to change the current district heating grid at the TU Delft to a smart thermal grid. New heat suppliers will be connected to the grid including a geothermal well and waste heat from the Schie area. The heating grid will change from a demand driven grid to a combination of demand and supply driven heating grid. Demand side...master thesis 2013

Tutuarima, Frederieke (author)In the geothermal exploration well, NLW-GT-01, in the West Netherlands Basin, a very tight reservoir with low porosity (≤5.0%) and matrix permeability (≤ 0.1mD) has been encountered in the Main Buntsandstein Subgroup. The impact of natural fractures, which can significantly impact fluid flow in tight reservoirs, has been studied. However, there...master thesis 2023

Wemekamp, Nebo (author)The Netherlands has agreed, by signing the Paris Agreement, to be climate-neural by 2050. To reach this goal, many large-scale renewable energy projects need to be developed in the coming years using for example wind, geothermal or solar energy. The problem with these projects is that they require large amounts of land and are especially needed...master thesis 2023
