(author)Background and aim The Vasilikos Energy Center (VEC) is a large hydrocarbon industrial hub actively operating in Cyprus. There is strong public interest by the communities surrounding VEC to engage with all stakeholders towards the sustainable development of hydrocarbon in the region. The methodological framework of the exposome concept would...article 2021

Paap, B. (author), Kraaijpoel, D. (author), Wassing, B. (author), van Wees, J.D. (author)Numerical simulations of seismic wave propagation usually rely on a simple source modelconsisting of an idealized point location and a moment tensor. In general, this is a validapproximation when the source dimensions are small relative to the distance of points at whichthe seismic wave motions are to be evaluated. Otherwise, a more realistic...article 2020

van der Molen, J. (author), Peters, E. (author), Jedari-Eyvazi, F. (author), van Gessel, S.F. (author)The decline of domestic natural gas production, increasing dependency on gas imports and lagging development of renewable energy production may pose serious challenges to the current high standards of secure energy supply in the Netherlands. This paper examines synergy between hydrocarbon- and geothermal exploitation as a means to reinforce...article 2020

Deckers, J. (author), Munsterman, D.K. (author)Based on the re-interpretation of well (log) data this study shows that the Våle Formation was deposited over large areas (> 100 km) in the southern central North Sea Basin (offshore Netherlands). Up to now, the Våle Formation (and the lateral equivalent Maureen Formation) were only described in the nearby offshore Denmark, Norway and UK. In the...article 2019

Barros, E.G.D. (author), van den Hof, P.M.J. (author), Jansen, J.D. (author)The exploitation of subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs is achieved through the control of production and injection wells (i.e., by prescribing time-varying pressures and flow rates) to create conditions that make the hydrocarbons trapped in the pores of the rock formation flow to the surface. The design of production strategies to exploit these...article 2019

Bohnhoff, M. (author), Malin, P. (author), Heege, J.T. (author), Deflandre, J.P. (author), Sicking, C. (author)General awareness of induced seismicity and gas leakage related to energy reservoir exploitation has been on the rise for several years (McGarr, 2002; Davies et al., 2013). This includes events from short-term Huid injection for reservoir simulation (Giardini, 2009; Atkinson, 2016), Long term hydrocarbon extraction (Van Thienen-Visser and...article 2018

Sangers, M. (author), Trujillo, R. (author), Voskov, D. (author), Leeuwenburgh, O. (author)We investigate the potential for improved recovery of subsurface energy resources (hydrocarbons or heat) through in-depth diversion technology. A number of pilot studies in the North Sea have demonstrated in recent years that sodium silicate can be used to block preferential flow paths and divert water to previously unswept areas of a reservoir....conference paper 2018

(author)One of the main activities in the (re-)development of large hydrocarbon fields is the drilling of new wells. The drilling process may involve a large number of wells and take several years to complete. Challenges include the selection of a limited set of wells from many possible well paths, and the scheduling of the drilling itself....conference paper 2016

The method is tested and validated based on the comparison with in situ TD-PTR-MS measurements. In general, we observe correspondence within the levels of...article 2015
