Astronomical forcing of Carboniferous paralic sedimentary cycles in the Upper Silesian Basin, Czech Republic (Serpukhovian, latest Mississippian)
New radiometric ages afford an astronomical age model for European biozonations and substages
The ~ 3-km-thick Ostrava Formation in the foreland Upper Silesian Basin, which is located along the Czech-Polish border, provides the thickest and most complete record of mixed shallow-marine to continental sediments of Serpukhovian (Carboniferous) age in the former equatorial Pa

Astronomical forcing of meter-scale organic-rich mudstone–limestone cyclicity in the Eocene Dongying sag, China
Implications for shale reservoir exploration
The middle Eocene Dongying sag in the Bohai Bay Basin of China has an estimated shale oil resource of approximately 1.1 billion t (8.06 billion bbl); flows of shale oil have been produced in the succession from tens of wells, where the daily production of a single well generally

Reservoir Heterogeneities in the Buntsandstein Subgroup
Investigating the Role of Sedimentary Facies
The Lower Triassic Main Buntsandstein Subgroup represents one of the most promising deep geothermal plays in the Netherlands. Reservoir zones consist of sandstone units deposited in an arid to semi-arid alluvial plain reaching total thicknesses of over 200 m in the Roer Valley Gr

Patterns and timing of loess-paleosol transitions in Eurasia
Constraints for paleoclimate studies
Loess-paleosol sequences are the most extensive terrestrial paleoclimate records in Europe and Asia documenting atmospheric circulation patterns, vegetation, and sedimentary dynamics in response to glacial-interglacial cyclicity. Between the two sides of the Eurasian continent, d

A newly installed research infrastructure for geothermal energy in a subsurface sedimentary reservoir for direct-use heating
The TU Delft campus geothermal project
A geothermal doublet has been installed in a sedimentary reservoir for direct-use heating on the TU Delft campus, targeted to supply around 25 MW of thermal energy at peak conditions. This contribution presents the implementation and initial data collection from the doublet, incl

Data-driven Discrete Well Affinity (DiWA) Model for Production Forecast
Optimization Performance and Model Enhancement
Evaluating an adequate computer model representing the characteristics of a subsurface reservoir is of great importance in the oil and gas industry. With recent data acquisition developments, high-resolution geological models can be generated for the subsurface reservoirs; howeve

Preloading of a lumpy clay fill
A study into the closure of the interlump voids of a mechanically dredged stiff clay fill
Mechanical dredging of a stiff clay results in clay lumps. Those clay lumps can be reused for the construction of land reclamation projects, and hereby economic and environmental value is generated. Placement of the clay lumps
in water result in a matrix of clay lumps and an inte

Semi-automatic fold detection in geological outcrops using Laser Scanning data
Applied to a limestone-marl sequences in the Vocontian Basin, France
Geological surveying is a common practice performed by geologists nowadays. Determining layer orientation parameters and identifying folds are examples of features needed in order to create a geological map or model of the (sub) surface. Surveying is expensive and time consuming,

Sequence stratigraphic analysis of Eridanos deltaic shallow gas-bearing deposits in North Sea
An insight into the shallow Dutch subsurface
Growing interest has been expressed the last decades regarding the Late Cenozoic, gas-bearing sediments of Southern North Sea Basin. Comprising the shallow subsurface of the Dutch offshore sector, these sediments have
been deposited by Eridanos fluvio-deltaic system, draining the

Automated photogrammetry of outcrops
With MicMac
Every year the second years of the bachelor Applied Earth Science have a geological fieldwork in Southern France. To supervise the students after a day in the field the idea is to collect a 3D model database of the outcrops in the field. This is done by photogrammetry and the ope

Alluvial Stratigraphic Response to Astronomical Climate Change
Numerical modelling and outcrop study in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, USA
Alluvial stratigraphy is influenced by both allogenic and autogenic factors, which are difficult to be distinguished from each other because they operate at overlapping spatial and temporal scales. Moreover, it remains uncertain whether autogenic dynamics can result in sedimentar

Alluvial deposits in the subsurface are essential for geo-energy production and storage in many regions worldwide. Accurate correlation and characterisation of alluvial stratigraphy requires an understanding of how river channels were spatially deposited, and which geomorphologic

The rising demand for clean energy has drawn the attention for more geological research to low enthalpy geothermal applications in the Netherlands. A multi-scale reservoir characterization is carried out with the aim to understand the geothermal reservoir potential of the Triassi

In 1990, the 44/21a-6 well was drilled in the Southern North Sea. Core material was taken from the Westphalian A/B part of the core. Some of this core material was recently obtained by the TU Delft via the North Sea Core Initiative. Since the Westphalian A/B in the Pennine Basin

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was a time of relatively abrupt climate change with intensive atmospheric greenhouse warming of 5 - 8˚C and is regarded as quasi-analogous for the modern anthropogenically-induced global warming. It therefore attracted considerable atte
