The relation between well spacing and Net Present Value in fluvial Hot Sedimentary Aquifer geothermal doublets: a West Netherlands Basin case study

This paper analyzes the relation between well spacing and Net Present Value of a Hot Sedimentary Aquifer geothermal doublet. First, a sensitivity analysis is carried out to evaluate the effect of uncertainty of geological and production parameters on the Net present Value. Second a finite-element approach is utilized to study the effect of...

The influence of fluvial reservoir architecture on geothermal energy production in Hot Sedimentary Aquifers

Currently six geothermal doublets are realized in the WNB. Five of these doublets target the same Lower Cretaceous fluvial sandstone interval, the Nieuwerkerk Formation. About 40 exploration licences are granted. Many of them also have sandstones in the same fluvial interval, the Nieuwerkerk Formation as a target. To successfully and efficiently...
