Geothermal operations are expanding and increasingly contributing to the current energy supply. Assessing the long-term operable lifetime of these projects is complicated as the reservoirs they produce from are often deep and subsurface properties are uncertain and spatially vari

Dynamic simulation of a geothermal reservoir
Case study of the Dinantian carbonates in the Californië geothermal wells, Limburg, NL
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 u

Pressure and Temperature Interference for Geothermal Projects in Dense Production Areas
A Case Study for the Delft Area
The main objective of this study is to quantify interference effects between production and injection wells for geothermal projects that operate within the same reservoir. The secondary objective is to study the time it takes for the reservoir unit to thermally recharge after pro

The Sustainability of Geothermal Energy
Under what conditions is a geothermal system used sustainably?
Geothermal energy is generally seen as a sustainable source of energy and therefore could be part of the solution for the energy transition. However, there is still a lack of clarity about the conditions under which a geothermal system can be used sustainably. This study investig

The Dutch Government is aiming for a CO2 neutral energy supply in 2050; this requires a transition from using energy from fossil fuels to using renewable energy sources. Decline in oil production in the Netherlands occurs in an epoch with an increased interest in geothermal heat

Sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in depleted gas reservoirs is an attractive choice, especially in The Netherlands, to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Injection of CO2 in the subsurface geological formations can distort local therma

Currently, a large part of the energy used to provide heat to heating network comes from gas boilers, a combustion process where 2.2kg of CO2 is emitted for every m^3 of gas. Deep geothermal energy is implemented more in The Netherlands over the last couple of years as a substitu
