Thibeau, S. (author), Bachu, S. (author), Birkholzer, J. (author), Holloway, S. (author), Neele, F.P. (author), Zou, Q. (author)Various approaches are used to evaluate the capacity of saline aquifers to store CO2, resulting in a wide range of capacity estimates for a given aquifer. The two approaches most used are the volumetric “open aquifer” and “closed aquifer” approaches. We present four full-scale aquifer cases, where CO2 storage capacity is evaluated both...article 2014

Loveless, S. (author), Pluymaekers, M.P.D. (author), Lagrou, D. (author), de Boever, E. (author), Doornenbal, H. (author), Laenen, B. (author)Faults can determine the success or failure of low enthalpy geothermal projects. This is due to their capacity to behave as pathways or baffles to geothermal water (or both simultaneously) and their prevalence throughout the subsurface. Here we present an initial assessment of the possibility for faults in the Northern Belgium (Flanders) and...article 2014

Within two decades, the production in the majority of offshore gas fields will have ceased. The preparation of the fields for any end-of-field-life measures to extend their lifetime and increase production needs to start as soon as possible. One such measure...article 2014
