Goncalves Machado, C. (author), Egberts, P.J.P. (author), Alvestad, J. (author), Hustad, O.S. (author)Salt precipitation is a major issue in gas fields as it may reduce production significantly. Salt precipitation can be triggered through evaporation of the brine into the gas leading to an increased brine salt concentration and - if reaching its solubility - precipitation will occur reducing the rock porosity and, consequently, the permeability....conference paper 2023

Moverly Smith, B. (author), Clayton, R. (author), van der Weijde, A.H. (author), Thies, P.R. (author)Recently, floating wind has enjoyed much public and governmental attention and is commonly identified as a crucial next step on the route to net zero targets for many countries. However, there is currently a large gap between the scale and readiness-level of devices in the water and the end-of- the-decade aspirational targets of many governments...article 2022

Koodly Ravishankara, A. (author), van der Weide, E. (author)Wind turbines are being installed in a wide array of offshore locations and are exposed to environmental condition during their operational lifetime. Rain, hailstones and accumulation of dust and insects can lead to turbine blades being eroded and contaminated. In this study, the effect of leading edge erosion on wind turbine blade performance...conference paper 2022

Wildenborg, T. (author), Loeve, D. (author), Neele, F. (author)A plan was developed for large-scale transport and storage of CO2, inspired by the measures in The Netherlands Climate Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. The main focus was on reduction of CO2 emissions captured from large industrial sources in the Rotterdam harbour area (Rijnmond region). CO2 storage potential is...article 2022

Gómez, J.F. (author), Shoeibi Omrani, P.S. (author), Belfroid, S.P.C. (author)In gas wells, decreased/unstable production can occur due to difficult-to-predict dynamic effects resulted from late-life phenomena, such as liquid loading and flooding. To minimize the negative impact of these effects, maximize production and extend the wells’ lifetime, wells are often operated in an intermittent production regime. The goal of...conference paper 2021
