Doublet deployment strategies for geothermal Hot Sedimentary Aquifer exploitation
Application to the Lower Cretaceous Nieuwerkerk Formation in the West Netherlands Basin
Required distance between doublet systems in low enthalpy geothermal heat exploitation is often not fully elucidated. The required distance aims to prevent negative interference influencing the utilisation efficiency of doublet systems. Currently production licence areas are o ...
The primary challenge for efficient geothermal doublet design and deployment is the adequate prediction of the size, shape, lateral extent and thickness (or aquifer architecture) of aquifers. In the West Netherlands Basin, fluvial Lower Cretaceous sandstone-rich successions fo ...
The relation between well spacing and Net Present Value in fluvial Hot Sedimentary Aquifer geothermal doublets
A West Netherlands Basin case study
A three-dimensional model is used to study the influence of facies heterogeneity on energy production under different operational conditions of low-enthalpy geothermal doublet systems. Process-based facies modelling is utilised for the Nieuwerkerk sedimentary formation in the ...
