Programme

Southern Permian Basin Atlas (SPBA)

Mapping of the Netherlands Offshore Area (NCP-2) ThermoGIS

Geological mapping in the Netherlands

1985-2004: Onshore – series of 15 sheets

2004-2006: NCP-1 – quickscan

2005-2010: NCP-2 – mapping in 7 subareas

Application areas of the deep subsurface

Geothermal energy

Underground storage (gas, CO₂ etc.)

Subsidence

Climate, environment and safety Spatial planning / management

Main products

DGM-DEEP - Digital Geological layer Model DEEP subsurface

Stratigraphic borehole interpretations Seismic interpretation

Fault database (~3800) Uncertainties

Specific Reservoir properties

(reservoir, seal and source rock e.g. T, p, v, poro, perm, ….)

Dissemination: Maps, reports and (web-based) digital products; data access through NLOG and DINO-Loket

New trends

Policy support + knowledge for sustainable solutions use deep subsurface (geothermal energy, CO₂

-storage)

Regional inventory “new” gas prospects (shallow gas, gas shales, tight gas, CBM, …)

Climate & Safety (prediction, risks and human impact)

Mapping program 2011 - 2014

Shift to (other) application areas of actual needs/questions and data needs Onshore, ultra-deep and shallow

Upgrading and actualisation of knowledge needed for geothermal energy, CCS and unconvential gas

Emphasis on dynamics (processes, prospectivity and forecasting/planning) Thematic policy support
