Palynology of a cored Rijswijk and Rodenrijs Claystone interval from well MON-GT-02
report
In this report the results of a palynological analysis on a cored interval from well Monster GT-02 (MON-GT-02) are presented. The well was drilled in 2023 by HVC Aardwarmte B.V. for the development of geothermal energy and is situated in Westland area, close to city of The Hague (Figure 1). Two cores were recovered across the transition from the Lower Cretaceous Rijswijk Member (Vlieland Sandstone Formation, Rijnland Group) to the Rodenrijs Claystone Member (Nieuwerkerk Formation, Schieland Group). The total length of the core is 60 meters along hole. The cored section ends in the lower part of the Rodenrijs Claystone Member, the core does not reach the geothermal aquifer of the Delft Sandstone Member. The aim of the coring is to study the sealing capacity of the Rodenrijs Member. The aim of the palynological analyses is to document the age and palaeoenvironment of the selected interval. The Rijswijk Member and the Rodenrijs Claystone Member have been dated multiple times before, but never before on a continuous core. The availability of core samples also offers the opportunity to obtain reliable information on the depositional setting of the Rijswijk and Rodenrijs intervals.
