Koenen, M. (author), Wasch, L.J. (author)Many uncertainties exist in geochemical modeling. Mineral reactive surface area is one of the uncertain parameters. QEMSCAN analyses are performed on sandstone samples from a Dutch CO2 natural analogue to determine reactive surface areas. Geochemical modeling is performed using QEMSCAN surface areas and surface areas which are conventionally...conference paper 2013

Boullenger, B. (author), Verdel, A. (author), Thorbecke, J. (author), Draganov, D. (author)Since 2008, CO2 has been injected at the demonstration site for CO2 sequestration in Ketzin, Germany. Since 2009, a permanent array of seismic receivers installed by TNO at the injection site has recorded passive data continuously. It is the intention of TNO to use seismic interferometry (SI) by cross-correlation applied to the recorded ambient...conference paper 2013

Wasch, L.J. (author), Wollenweber, J. (author), Tambach, T.J. (author)Well abandonment in the context of CO2 storage operations demands a mitigation strategy for CO2 leakage along the wellbore. To prevent possible CO2 transport toward the surface and to protect the wellbore material from contact with acid brine, we propose forming a salt seal around the wellbore at reservoir level, after CO2 injection into a...article 2013

Wasch, L.J. (author), Koenen, M. (author), Wollenweber, J. (author), ter Heege, J.H. (author), Tambach, T.J. (author)Large scale implementation of CO2 storage can significantly reduce emission of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. However, safe and long-term containment of CO2 in storage reservoirs must be ensured. Wellbores in the subsurface present possible leakage pathways for CO2 to the surface and hence wellbore cement reactivity is of major concern....conference paper 2013

Verweij, J.M. (author), Nelskamp, S. (author), Guaipo Sarmiento, M.A. (author)Shallow gas accumulations in the Plio-Pleistocene Eridanos Delta deposits in the Dutch offshore are a valuable additional hydrocarbon source. Ongoing studies focus on better understanding the shallow gas play. The focus of this paper is on increasing the understanding of the origin of the shallow gas. For that purpose we used integrated modeling...conference paper 2013
