Application areas of the deep subsurface

• Oil and gas production, mining (oil, gas, salt, coal etc.)

• Geothermal energy

• Underground storage (gas, CO2 etc.)

• Subsidence

• Climate, environment and safety

• Spatial planning / management

New trends

• Policy support + knowledge for sustainable solutions use

deep subsurface (geothermal energy, CO2-storage)

• Regional inventory “new” gas prospects (shallow gas, gas shales, tight gas, CBM, …)

• Climate & Safety (prediction, risks and human impact)

• Spatial planning (VRODO)

Mapping program 2011 - 2013

• Guarantee the continuity of current programsNCP-2, BodDal

• Shift to (other) application areas of actual needs/questions and data needs• Onshore, ultra-deep and shallow• Upgrading and actualisation of knowledge needed for geothermal energy, CCS and

unconvential gas• Emphasis on dynamics (processes, prospectivity and forecasting/planning)• Thematic policy support

• Division/structure of projects on basis of disciplines

• Integral program adjusting with other teams (needs and priorities) !
