Abstract

Summary The abstract presents a case study about the upgrade of the first geothermal doublet drilled in Holland in the West Netherlands Basin (Bleiswijk 1b license) aiming for an increase of future doublet performance. The study upgrade is based on additional data obtained from a detailed geological review of the target area, including well correlation and detailed seismic interpretation performed on a reprocessed seismic depth cube. New insights led to an improved geological understanding (structural and stratigraphic) of the reservoir distribution in the Bleiswijk 1b area for the Schieland Formation of Upper Jurassic age, and it appears now possible to seismically recognize the Delft and Alblasserdam Members and distinguish them from the Lower Cretaceous Berkel and Rijswijk sandstones. With this knowledge a thicker and higher quality Delft reservoir is foreseen. The completion screen placing and well size can be optimized which will result in a much larger production than in the original doublet.
