The use of geothermal energy in Europe is expected to grow rapidly over the next decades, since this resource generally abundant, ubiquitous, versatile, low-carbon, and non-intermittent. We have expanded adapted integrated assessment model TIAM-ECN more adequately reflect potentials better represent various sectors which could possibly be used. With updated version TIAM-ECN, we quantify how large share until 2050, analyze expansion stimulated by climate policy technological progress....

Abstract Geothermal energy is a viable alternative to gas for the heating of buildings, industrial areas and greenhouses, can thus play an important role in making transition sustainable Netherlands. Heat currently produced from Dutch subsurface through circulation water between two wells deep (1.5–3 km) geothermal formations with temperature up ∼100 °C. As number these so-called doublets expected increase significantly over next decades, targeted depths temperatures increase, it assess...

A backstripping analysis of 225 wells located within the Sirt Basin, Libya, provides new constraints on development Basin.Four tectonic phases are identified from Late Jurassic to present.The presentation contour maps subsidence and crustal stretching allows spatial temporal variations in be visualized.A close match is observed with documented for other African basins, consistent discrete opening Tethys Atlantic.Rifting reactivation appear primarily controlled by orientation basin underlying...

Abstract Subsurface temperature is a key parameter for geothermal energy prospection in sedimentary basins. Here, we present the results of 3D modelling using thermal-tectonic forward method, calibrated with subsurface measurements Netherlands. The first step involves generation coherent dataset values calibration model. In Netherlands, most available (98.8%) are BHT and therefore need to be corrected from thermal perturbation created during drilling. remaining 1.2% composed DST...

Abstract We implement a Coulomb rate‐and‐state approach to explore the nonlinear relation between stressing rate and seismicity in Groningen gas field. stress rates are calculated, taking into account 3‐D structural complexity of field including poroelastic effect differential compaction due fault offsets. The spatiotemporal evolution must be attributed combination both (i) spatial variability induced history (ii) heterogeneities model parameters. Focusing on two subareas where observed...

Abstract In this paper we present a probabilistic fast model for performance assessment of geothermal doublets direct heat applications. It is simple yet versatile and multipurpose tool. can be well applied in better understanding the sensitivity to key subsurface parameters depth trends therein, assessing probability success projects under technical financial constraints. The underlying algorithms deliver sensible accuracy given uncertainties associated with at exploration state. A public...

We present a finite-difference formulation for 3-D elastic flexure of the lithosphere, which is solved by direct-matrix method. to incorporate effect spatial variations in rigidity, additional terms bi-harmonic equation have been derived from variational displacement as used finite-element methods. Additionally, planar faults are treated discontinuities. These implemented an degree freedom fault heave, and coupled continuum zero-differential tilting across fault. The results tested line...

The mode these sedimentary basins, originally formed by extension an intraplate setting, characterized spectrum spatial wavelengths spanning several tens kilometres up to hundreds kilometres. actual appears be strongly affected rheological structure underlying lithosphere, level regional stress field, geometry rifted basin configuration prior late-stage...

Abstract. The reconstruction of thermal evolution in sedimentary basins is a key input for constraining geodynamic processes and geo-energy resource potential. We present methodology to reproduce the most important transient footprints accompanying basin formation: lithosphere extension sedimentation. forward model solving heat equation extended with an inversion workflow constrain models temperature measurement, providing estimates on parameters, importantly amount stretching. apply NW part...

Abstract Background The association between therapeutic outcomes and serum levels associated with the use of subcutaneous (SC) IFX CT-P13 in patients inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] has been poorly studied. We aimed to define SC-IFX thresholds outcomes. Methods Patients receiving who had at least one drug monitoring [TDM] were enrolled. Therapeutic assessed as follows: clinical remission [HBI <5, SCCAI ≤2]; fecal calprotectin [FCAL] [<250 mg/g]; C-reactive protein [CRP] [CRP...

Scaling up the direct use of geothermal heat in urban areas comes with challenge enabling development projects geological settings where reservoir flow properties may be poor, resulting low well performance. Cost-effective field strategies and designs tailored to such reservoirs can ensure deliverability energy economic terms. This study presents a framework based on computer-assisted optimization support practitioners selecting most suitable concept for exploitation marginal reservoirs. The...

We use two‐dimensional (2‐D) P‐T‐t modeling to constrain the thermal and rheological aspects of different scenarios for late Mesozoic Cenozoic tectonic evolution Eastern Alps, inferred from excellent data sets Tauern Window (TW). Models invoking subduction South Penninic (SP) oceanic lithosphere during thrusting subsequent erosion Austro‐Alpine (AA) upper plate nappe stack are inconsistent with observed within AA units. In these models, predictions peak conditions lower than observed. After...

We describe a new numerical approach to constrain the three‐dimensional (3‐D) pattern of fault reactivation. Taking advantage knowledge tectonic stress field, ratio resolved shear and normal stresses (slip tendency) as well direction is calculated at every location on faults modelled by triangulated surfaces. Although contact represent only first order approximation real stresses, comparison 3‐D slip tendency with frictional resistance can provide useful constraints probability The method...
