pThe objective of this proposal is to continue previous research and testing of bentonites and salts on larger-scales and to address remaining technical challenges defined in previous TKI projects. In addition it will tackle a potential financial hurdle for the application of the natural sealing concept and will investigate promising chemical options to remove the casing to enable a cost-efficient option of letting existing ductile formation creep into the created “window” in the wellbore to restore the original caprock. | In dit project kan het bedrag onder Rijksbijdrage ook deels afkomstig zijn van andere subsidieverstrekkers. Hierbij valt te denken aan Europese subsidies zoals EFRO./p
