Publieke samenvatting / Public summary
Aanleiding
Radial water jet drilling uses the power of a focused jet of fluids, applied to a rock through a coil inserted in an existing well. This technology is likely to provide much better control of the enhanced flow paths around a geothermal well and does not i
Doelstelling
Within the EC funded Horizon 2020 project SURE (Novel Productivity Enhancement Concept for a Sustainable Utilization of a Geothermal Resource) the radial water jet drilling (RJD) technology will be investigated and tested as a method to increase inflow in
Korte omschrijving
SURE will investigate the RJD technology for deep geothermal reservoir rocks at different geological settings such as deep sedimentary basins and magmatic regions at the micro-, meso- and macro-scale. Laboratory tests will include the determination of par
Resultaat
Samples will be investigated in 3D with micro CT scanners and with standard microscopy approaches. In addition, advanced modelling will help understand the actual mechanism leading to the rock destruction at the tip of the water jet. Last but not least, e
