Jansen, J.D.
Profile
Jan Dirk's research domain is the use of systems and control theory for influencing and optimizing subsurface flow and mechanics. For many years he focused on oil and gas production, but his current research concerns induced seismicity and geothermal energy.
Expertise
Numerical reservoir simulation, recovery optimization, production optimization, history matching, data assimilation, model-order reduction, induced seismicity
Research

Current projects
Science4Steer: a scientific basis for production and reinjection strategies to minimize induced seismicity in Dutch gas fields

What happens to the Dutch subsurface when used for the production, injection or storage of fluids? Does suddenly stopping production from a gas well in Groningen also stop earthquakes or may it provoke new ones? What are the effects of production and injection during underground gas storage? How does reservoir rock behave under fluctuating stresses? Our Science4Steer research addresses these questions with laboratory experiments and computer models to help society make better decisions. Many aspects are important in such decisions and many factors contribute. The role of science is to provide understanding how we can steer subsurface activities safely.
