DEEP Innovation for: De-Risking Enhanced Geothermal Energy Projects

Induced seismicity poses a tremendous challenge to future deep geothermal energy exploitation. The large international and multidisciplinary EC GEOTHERMICA DEEP project combines innovation in sensors and data analysis with demonstration and knowledge transfer activities into one coherent work program that will have a profound impact on de-risking future EGS projects. Balancing risk and economic output is a key requirement and DEEP has a strong focus on optimization of monitoring and risk assessment procedures in order to reduce commercial costs to future projects. The project will be conducted in close collaboration with industry partners and in partnership with the US Department of Energy geothermal test site FORGE in Utah.

Minimizing the risk of induced seismicity associated with geothermal energy in fractured reservoirs

This TU Delft-led project is supported by a user committee with commercial and non-commercial partners from the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. The proposed increase in geothermal energy demands a significant increase in wells, which makes the use of deep fractured and fault systems unavoidable. Induced earthquakes are among the biggest problems for subsurface operations, where especially in fractured reservoirs the risk is considered significant with the current state of knowledge. We want to gain insight into the complex interactions between processes inducing stress changes on faults above, in, and below a fractured carbonate reservoir and the subsequent reactivation of these faults. Through an experimental and numerical investigation, we will create constitutive models which will improve the currently limited understanding of the occurrence, location and magnitude of induced seismicity which occurred in pilot sites. We will combine our recommendations in a proposal for a “Guideline for operation of deep fractured reservoirs”.

Caves&Waves: Quantification of the probability of induced seismicity associated with large-scale hydrogen storage in Dutch salt formations

Caves&Waves is a project in the context of the challenges posed by subsurface storage as part of the energy transition. Induced earthquakes are among the biggest problems for subsurface operations. Small magnitude events have been reported regularly for the current leaching and storage operations. The aim of Caves&Waves is to understand, analyse and quantify the mechanism behind these small events and assess the probability for induced seismicity associated with future large scale storage activities.
