Basin hydrodynamic system analysis - Focus on vertical leakage and hydraulic continuity

The development of an extensive integrated pressure database since 2002 in combination with integrated approaches to characterize and interpret current basin hydrodynamic systems in the Netherlands have resulted in knowledge and understanding of spatial variations in hydrodynamic and pressure conditions in relation to its geological framework...

Pressure information system of the onshore and offshore Netherlands

Main objective of the project presented in this paper is to improve the quantitative knowledge and understanding of the distribution of pore fluid pressures and fluid dynamic conditions in the subsurface of onshore and offshore Netherlands. Such knowledge and understanding is of great importance for optimizing -responsible -exploration and use...

Shallow gas migration and trapping in the cenozoic eridanos delta deposits, Dutch offshore (Z045)

Shallow gas in the Dutch offshore predominantly occurs in shallow marine to continental deposits of the Plio-Pleistocene Eridanos delta (Fig. 1). This delta was fed by an ancient fluvio-deltaic system that prograded through Northwestern Europe due to simultaneous uplift of the Fennoscandinavian Shield and accelerated subsidence of the North Sea...

Inversion of surface subsidence data to quantify reservoir compartmentalization: A field study

The Roswinkel gas field in the northeastern part of the Netherlands has been in production between 1980 and 2005. Located at about 2100 m depth, it is a severely faulted anticlinal structure, constituting up to 30 reservoir compartments. Due to the complicated nature of this field, there are large uncertainties in both the fault...

Inverting subsidence data to detect possible compartmentalization in a gas reservoir in The Netherlands

Subsidence can be induced by hydrocarbon production, due to the decrease in pore pressure in the reservoir which causes the reservoir to compact. The subsidence at any point on the surface is a result of the compaction over a large area of the reservoir. The properties of the reservoir and thus the compaction are uncertain. Therefore, an...
