Van Pelt, E.J. (author)One of the important aquifers for geothermal purposes in the Netherlands is the Lower Cretaceous Vlieland Sandstone Formation (VSF). The VSF is deposited in a eustatic transgressive phase and has a dispersed distribution in the northern Netherlands, which is not very well understood. This study produced a depositional model and a thickness map...master thesis 2011

De Mooij, J.W.C. (author)At the moment global climate change is one of the most prominent environmental and energy issues of our life time. Currently CO2 levels in the atmosphere stand at 387 ppm, almost 40% higher since the start of the industrial revolution and the highest for at least the last 650,000 years. About 96% of these carbon emissions are the result of using...master thesis 2010

Pagen, M.J. (author)Geothermal energy is increasingly being explored as an attractive renewable energy source. In recent years several geothermal energy projects have been developed in the Netherlands reflecting growing governmental, industrial and scientific interests. Increasing the use of renewable energy is high on the policy agenda world wide. The degree...master thesis 2010

Bannouh, I. (author)Geothermal energy has rapidly increased its attractiveness in the Netherlands. However, many geothermal energy initiatives seem to hamper between the feasibility phase and the actual realization of the geothermal energy system. The most commonly known factors that impede the development of geothermal energy initiatives are on a financial level,...master thesis 2010

Ayalew, M.G. (author)Dutch households consume 20% of the total energy used in the country and therefore targeted by decision makers to reduce their fossil fuel dependence and carbon emission attributed to them (“Energy mix”, 2007; CBS, 2008.). Different technical systems such as solar panel, micro-Combined Heat and Power (micro-CHP), efficient appliance and bulbs,...master thesis 2010

Leijnse, S. (author)For the calculation of drilling loads knowledge of the Coulomb friction coefficients for friction between drilling tubulars and casing or drilling tubulars and open hole is essential. To reduce drilling costs for geothermal wells the casing while drilling, CwD technique is considered. CwD reduces drilling time by eliminating round trips, because...master thesis 2010

Van der Poll, J.W. (author)For the geothermal wells of the Delft Aardwarmte Project it has been chosen to drill with glass-reinforced epoxy (GRE) composite casing in a drilling-with-casing setup. This MSc thesis report describes the results of experimental work to assess the stress-strain behaviour of GRE casing, in particular under axial, torsional and combined axial...master thesis 2010

Wiggers, C.J.I. (author)Knowledge of the complex subsurface is becoming increasingly important: for hydrocarbon exploration, possible storage of CO2, and the production of water for geothermal heating and energy production purposes. An example of a complex reservoir is a reservoir formed by alluvial fan sediments. Although research into alluvial fan deposits has been...master thesis 2010

Gilding, D.T. (author)Geothermal energy is hot and sustainable. A recent run for licences has sparked questions on the optimisation and recovery of geothermal energy from the subsurface of the Netherlands through optimal project placement. The effect of heterogeneities on interference of geothermal projects in the West Netherlands Basin and the target Early...master thesis 2010

Drost, G.I.A. (author), Korenromp, M.H.A. (author)The Delft Geothermal Project is an ongoing study in search for the best way to produce renewable energy from the Delft Sandstone Member. So far, a homogeneous reservoir model, a study of the regional geology and a study of the fluid flow and heat transfer have been made. For these studies, information is used from the Moerkapelle oil field...bachelor thesis 2010

Van Groenestijn, G.J. (author)Geothermal energy is produced by pumping cold water into an underground reservoir. The reservoir exists of narrow channels in which the water is heated before it is pumped up. The heat transfer in the reservoir improves when all the channels are uniform in diameter. The oil company Shell wants to make the channels uniform by using shear induced...master thesis 2002
