Netherlands: Trias Westland Geothermal Project to Settle for a 2.7 Kilometer Well

Trias Westland to become Lower Cretaceous project (T&A Survey Group B.V.)

The Triassic layer, located at a depth of 4 kilometers, turned out not to be suitable for cost-effective heat recovery. 

Trias Westland will realize a geothermal project in the Lower Cretaceous layer, which is located at a depth of approximately 2.7 kilometers. Other Westland geothermal projects also extract their heat from this layer. The Triassic layer, located at a depth of 4 kilometers, turned out not to be suitable for cost-effective heat recovery. The Lower Cretaceous layer instead, or more specifically the Delft sandstone layer, appears to be even better than originally thought.

At the end of next week, Trias Westland will carry out  the Lower Cretaceous reservoir production test. The exact temperature in this layer will then be known and the project team will develop a plan to connect  as many greenhouse enterprises as possible to  geothermal heat from the Lower Cretaceous.
