Yousefi, S.H. (author), Gonçalves Machado, C. (author), Juez-Larré, J. (author), Ravestein, T. (author), Smeenk, S. (author), Groenenberg, R. (author)Underground gas storage (UGS) in depleted gas reservoirs plays a vital role today in balancing supply and demand of natural gas and securing energy supply. Similarly, such reservoirs could potentially be (re)used for underground hydrogen storage (UHS). Feasibility studies on hydrogen storage in reservoirs need reliable tools and methodologies to...conference paper 2023

Moghadam, A. (author), Peters, E. (author), Nelskamp, S. (author)The Groningen gas field in the Netherlands has been a major source of natural gas in Europe for the past few decades. There are approximately 350 wells drilled in the field that either already are or will be plugged and abandoned in the near future. In this work, we developed a two-phase, two-component numerical model based on the stratigraphy...article 2023
