The fluid flow in a reservoir largely depends on faults, as faults can act like conduits or barriers. The influence of three fault parameters (permeability, thickness and angle) on the temperature and pressure behaviour of a geothermal reservoir, has been investigated by modelling a faulted reservoir in 2D in MATLAB, based on the Finite Element...

This research identifies and provides a relative ranking of the parameters that control the thermal breakthrough time of a geothermal doublet. The ranking is based on simulations modelled by a three-dimensional model build in COMSOL Multiphysics with a simulation duration of 50 years. The model is a nonisothermal, isotropic, cuboid consisting of...

A three-dimensional geological model has been constructed of a 49 square km area in the sub-Alpine chains in the French Drôme department. The area was situated in the Vocontian Basin, which was an epicontinental sea situated at the western margin of the Alpine Tethys Ocean, between former continents of Gondwana and Laurasia. Formations of...

High temperature aquifer thermal energy storage (HT-ATES) is an energy efficient way to store heat in the subsurface, recovery efficiencies of 60-85% have been found in earlier research. The TU-Delft is step by step changing its policies into a more environmental friendly approach and a HT-ATES system could be the next step in this process by...

Scope: Surfactant-alternating-gas (SAG) is the preferred method of foam injection to improve sweep efficiency in enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR). Here, for the first time, fractional-flow theory is extended to include the shock for gas injection in the high-quality regime for radial flow in a non-Newtonian SAG process for shear-thinning and shear...

The main purpose of this thesis is to conclude whether terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) can be used as an automated method to improve the classification of soils. It was in collaboration with Fugro N.V., a large Dutch consultancy and engineering firm that is active in onshore and offshore services in the field of geological and geotechnical...

During the Paris climate convention, goals have been set to counter global warming and work towards a sustainable future. An energy source which has been researched more intensely the past years is HT-ATES - High Temperature Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage - system. This technique makes it possible to remove the heat pump from conventional HT...

Dams and reservoirs pose safety concerns to society worldwide. In case of a disaster, the water impounded in the reservoir escapes and destroys everything in its path. Reasons for failure range from geology, hydrology and seismicity, to design problems, lack of maintenance and poor field investigation. Prior cases show that various dams gave...

Forensic investigations focused on determining clandestine buried weapons, narcotics or even homicide evidence, can be expensive, inefficient and depend greatly on prior information and the tools available. Geophysical tools have potential to improve these investigations, on the ground that they can detect shallow buried objects in a non...

The Huesca fluvial fan contains a low gradient fluvial system with well-exposed, 3D outcrops. An outcrop study of low-sinuous deposits aims to provide a deterministic reservoir model that predicts correlation lengths, nesting and reservoir potential of thin-bedded fluvial reservoir sandstone in an overall low net-to-gross setting. To correlate...

High Temperature – Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (HT-ATES) is a way to efficiently store heat with use of the subsurface. Region Holland-Rijnland has the vision to be free of the use of natural gas in 2050. A proposed high temperature heating network from the port of Rotterdam to the households of Leiden, combined with the use of an HT-ATES...

This study investigates the thermal recharge of deep geothermal reservoirs by free convection. A coupled numerical model that is built in Comsol Multiphysics is presented in order to estimate the thermal recharge during the first 30 years of production from a typical high enthalpy geothermal reservoir. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to...

The effect of conductive heat transfer recharge originating from the surrounding conduction dominated geothermal system on the geothermal reservoir lifetime has been reviewed during its development, by studying the effect of multiple reservoir and production parameters. A two dimensional (2D) finite volume implicit coupling strategy, using a...

Many laboratory tests of samples where the rock fractures are based on<br/>meso-scale (cm) characterization of effective ‘intact’ strength parameters neglecting the microstructure effects. Understanding fracturing processes at<br/>micro-scale (mm) will require models with microstructure data. However,<br/>data is lacking on micro-scale.<br/...

A MATLAB program was built around 1D closed form representations of the radial electrical field in a vertical transverse isotropic (VTI) medium driven by an horizontal electric dipole (HED) in the transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) mode published in Andréis and MacGregor (2008). It is able to compute the contribution of the...

Argillaceous (clay-rich) host formations for radioactive waste geological repositories are extensively researched for their capability to decrease the hydraulic conductivity of fractures over time (i.e. self-sealing). This self-sealing behavior is beneficial in the context of radioactive repositories as the excavation of these spaces unavoidably...

The aim of this thesis report is to analyze slope stability parameters given by HHNK for the dike around a polder located in the province of North-Holland, “Starnmeer”, and a lake located to the west of it called “Alkmaardermeer”. Most of the dike has been reported to be too low in some places and plans of restoration will be implemented in 2019...

Non-Newtonian foam flow in a reservoir can be modeled numerically by discretization of the corresponding analytical formulas. The injection of foam is compared to the injection of water by comparing the injection pressures, which is represented as a dimensionless pressure rise at the injection well. The model first applies the forward-difference...

The following report will enlighten to which extent LiDAR data could enhance land cover classification. It focuses on the area Lemps (26510) in Southwest France where a land cover classification was made using Sentinel-2 spectral images during the fieldwork. Using the additional LiDAR data, the focus shifts to distinguish coniferous and...
