1. The scien�fic challenge driving EPOS-NL

A. Groningen gas field seismic network (KNMI) B. DAPwell geothermal well (TUD)

C. Earth Simula�on Laboratory (ESL; UU) D. Mul�-scale Imaging and Tomography (MINT; UU & TUD)

2. SYSTEM-SCALE NATURAL LABORATORIES

3. INTEGRATED LABORATORIES FACILITIES

The Groningen gas field is a unique natural observatory for induced seismicity. Big data from the dense seismic network of borehole sta�ons in Groningen will be integrated in the ORFEUS Data Centre and made openly available to the geoscien�fic community through the EPOS Thema�c Core Service Seismology.

A deep geothermal doublet, built with extensive embedded monitoring and tes�ng instrumenta�on, and including new materials (composite casing), will be installed on the TU Del� campus. Cores will be analysed in the laboratory to determine the petrophysical proper�es of the reservoir rocks and a seismic network at the surface will monitor fluid flow between injector and producer well.

The ESL will integrate the exis�ng world-class mul�-scale, mul�-physics experimental facili�es at UU (HPT Laboratory and TecLab) with exis�ng numerical modelling and imaging facili�es for seismological research.

New facili�es will include a high-resolu�on imaging of the 4D internal deforma�on of analogue models and an ultra-high resolu�on HPT tes�ng machine able to deform rock samples and simulate fault slip under geothermal, flow-through condi�ons.

A cluster of instruments enabling visualiza�on and correla�on of 3D and 2D structures within rock samples at all scales ranging from meters to nanometres. It will include X-ray tomography systems with a range of resolu�ons and sample size capabili�es and cu�ng-edge automated electron microscopes. MINT will be able to image rocks at all scales and allow notoriously difficult sub-micron pore and fracture networks to be analysed and scaled to larger rock structures.

Info & Contacts

EPOS-NL is the Netherlands’ contribu�on of Na�onal Research Infrastructures (NRIs) to the European Plate Observing System (EPOS), which is a

pan-European project with the goal to improve and facilitate the integra�on, access, and (re)-use of solid Earth science data, services, and facili�es.

EPOS-NL is a consor�um of Utrecht University, KNMI, and TU Del�, and is on the Dutch Na�onal Roadmap for Large Scale Research Infrastructures.

The objec�ve of EPOS-NL is to integrate and expand the na�onal infrastructure for fron�er-breaking research, in the fields of:

Geo-energy: explora�on and exploita�on of new, low carbon geo-energy resources in the Netherlands and Europe, in par�cular geothermal energy.

Geo-storage: geological storage of CO

, fuels like natural gas and renewably generated hydrogen, and wastes related to energy produc�on.

Geo-hazards: such as induced earthquakes and subsidence caused by human ac�vi�es in the subsurface.

This new research infrastructure supports mul�-scale, mul�-physics research that delivers a quantum leap in imaging of subsurface structure and

processes and in predic�ve modelling, and fosters development of open access data services. The EPOS-NL clusters are shown below.
