Continuing the
Geothermal Spirit
“Het bevorderen van onderzoek en verdere
ontwikkeling, op welk gebied en welke wijze dan ook,
met betrekking tot het winnen en gebruik van
aardwarmte en al het geen daarmee verband houdt of
daaraan bevorderlijk kan zijn”
Andries Wever, 19 March 2018

Geothermal Energy is HOT ...

 NOA recommendtion 1981: a demonstration project in
Lower Cretaceous sands of the West Netherlands (Basin)
provide highest chace of success
 Delfland Project 1980–1984:
• surface engineering (Comprimo Engineering)
• knowledge acquisition from France (engineering firm Geotherma
• gathering seismic and well from NAM (Gaag area)
• seismic interpretion
 Envisaged in Oranjepolder, Naaldwijk

DEDICATION TO GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

1985 – 1989: NOAA Conclusions
1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 20151970 2020
1) Geothermal energy attractive for high heat demand applications
2) Economics highly depending on gas price
3) High-temperature production more attractive then ‘upgrading’ of low
temperatures using heat pumps
4) (lack of) Geologic knowledge results in too-high risk profile;
dedicated exploration required (and very costly)
5) Sufficient technical know-how
6) Research into ‘non-technical bottle-necks’ not desirable

1990: MEA “Nota Energiebesparing”
2 projects by 2000, 10 by 2010
1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 20151970 2020
 Focus all activities to realise demonstration project within
duration of NOAA-2 (i.e. By 1994)
 Additional demonstration project by 2000
 By 2010 there should be 10 producing systems

1990 – 1994 NOAA 2 cost effectiveness
Key Objectives
1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 20151970 2020
1) Geothermal heat production
a) Innovation targetting depths range 500 – 3000 m
b) Investigate potential
c) Realise demonstration project
2) Supply general information on Geothermal Energy and
aquifer based heat storage

1990 – 1994 NOAA 2 “De Lier”
demonstration project
1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 20151970 2020
 “De Lier” demonstration project proposal, commissioned by
Nutsbedrijf Westland n.v.
 Cooperation between TU Delft and IGG-TNO
 Pre-scan MSc project Peter Boogers (september 1993)
 Objectives
1) Realise doublet for green-house heating
2) Horizontal drilling to improve injectivity
3) Reduce CO2 emissions
4) Prove economic viability

1994: “De Lier” (NOAA 2 ?)
Conclusions
1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 20151970 2020
 Technically feasible
 Drop in temperature negligible over life-time (25 years)
 Economically not attractive due to whole-sale gas price
at the time
 With ECO / CO2 tax or higher gas price probably
economicaly viable
 Project stopped due to lack of financing

1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 20151970 2020
 Energy “substitution” as main project driver does not work.
Competition change (oil/gas price drops) kills project
 National policy drivers are sustainable – until next elections
 For success, ensure either large framework/movement, or ‘single’
decision-maker

3O – Ontwikkling (Developement)
 DAP initiated the process of the developement of
geothermal doublet @TU Delft
 Picked up by TU Delft & Hydreco
 Currently DAP has a limited role
