Abstract

The North-eastern part of the Netherlands is a prolific hydrocarbon province, which contains the giant 100 Tcf (2850 Bcm) Groningen gas field within Permian Rotliegend desert sandstones and the 1 Bbbl (157 MMcm) Schoonebeek oil field within marine Lower Cretaceous clastic sediments. Next to these fields a large number of smaller gas fields have been found in strata ranging in age from Carboniferous to Paleogene. Currently this petroleum province is going through an important transition in its’ life cycle with underground gas storage and CO2 sequestration in depleted reservoirs becoming increasingly important. Furthermore enhanced oil recovery via the redevelopment of the Schoonebeek oil field is under way - more than 60 years after initial discovery and decades of production.
