Abdul Fattah, R. (author), Verweij, J.M. (author)Pre-Westphalian layers are considered as potential source rocks in the Netherlands. However, there is little amount of information available on their maturity. 3D basin modelling is carried out on Central Onshore Netherlands to investigate the maturity of the deep Carboniferous source rocks. A detailed 3D geological model is used as input which...conference paper 2014

Bergh, L.I.V. (author), Ringstad, A.J. (author), Leka, S. (author), Zwetsloot, G.I.J.M. (author)Hydrocarbon leaks have a major accident potential in the oil and gas industry. Over the years the oil and gas industry in Norway has worked hard to find means to prevent hydrocarbon leaks and is today able to report significant progress. In this context, the exploration of accidents in light of human error linked to underlying factors related to...article 2014

Nelskamp, S. (author), Abdul Fattah, R. (author), Verweij, J.M. (author), Witmans, N. (author)The subsurface of the onshore and offshore Netherlands has been studied extensively. In 2006 the first complete maps of the main stratigraphic horizons (down to the Permian) were published. Since then these maps were regularly updated and extended to include also the main reservoir horizons. This detailed stratigraphic information was used to...conference paper 2014

Stafleu, J. (author), Busschers, F.S. (author)TNO Geological Survey of the Netherlands systematically produces 3D voxel models for answering subsurface related questions. The unique combination of vast amounts of borehole data and the voxelbased approach makes the models valuable new sources for exploring the Quaternary fluvial record. The latest generation of 3D voxel models (GeoTOP)...conference paper 2014

(author), DeMarini, D.M. (author)Several types of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) have been used for toxicology studies, including a highorganic automobile DEP (A-DEP) from Japan, and a low-organic forklift DEP developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (N-DEP). However, these DEPs were not characterized extensively for chemical composition or sub...article 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

van Blijderveen, M. (author), Bramer, E.A. (author), Brem, G. (author)To gain insight in the startup of an incinerator, this article deals with piloted ignition. A newly developed model is described to predict the piloted ignition times of wood, PMMA and PVC. The model is based on the lower flammability limit and the adiabatic flame temperature at this limit. The incoming radiative heat flux, sample thickness and...article 2012

Hanea, A. (author), Hanea, R. (author), Zilko, A. (author)The objective of reservoir engineering is to optimize hydrocarbon recovery. One of the most common and efficient recovery processes is water injection. The water is pumped into the reservoir in injection wells in order to push the oil trapped in the porous media towards the production wells. The movement of the water front depends on the...conference paper 2012

To realistically predict the climate effect of marine aerosols, global climate models require process-based understanding of particle formation from bubble bursting. During a cruise...article 2010

Abbink, O.A. (author), Hanea, R.G. (author), Nennie, E.D. (author), Peters, R.C.A.M. (author)Petroleum production is a relatively inefficient process. For oil production, it is, generally, less than 60 % effective on a macro scale and less than 60 % effective on a micro scale. This results, commonly, in an actual oil recovery of less than 35 %. Optimization of the production process will, therefore, have a significant impact on the...conference paper 2009
