Netherlands Journal of Geosciences e12-17 in order to have an economical supply of heat, a minimum heat demand has to be present, preferably close to the geothermal pro- duction site. Godderij et al. (2018) demonstrated that once a heat grid throughout the village of Roden is installed, the demand becomes aligned with economic supply of heat. In theory the above three requirements are met in the study area of this paper. Therefore synergy between gas production and geothermal exploi- tation with an aligned supply and demand could be applied here. In the Netherlands there are numerous gas fields where a moderate to strong aquifer drive exists, at which the synergy concept of this paper could be applied. However, in some areas, for example Slootdorp, the demand for heat appears to be quite far from the gas production facility, making the economic application of syn- ergy in that area questionable. Conclusion The presented simulations and sensitivity analyses on the Roden gas field demonstrate that the placement of a geothermal doublet close to the GWC of a producing gas field may lead to a higher gas recovery factor. The additional revenues can be used to partly finance the geothermal development, thereby reducing the invest- ment risk. The significance of increased gas production predomi- nantly depends on the amount of aquifer support linked to the gas reservoir. Sensitivity analyses indicate that a limited aquifer drive causes the gas- and geothermal production to interfere with one another, resulting in reduced benefits for both the gas recovery and geothermal exploitation. The Roden gas field, which is characterised by a moderate to strong aquifer drive, may achieve significantly higher gas recovery through an optimised gas- and geo- thermal well configuration. The interplay between gas- and geother- mal production is very complex, however, and dependent on location-specific conditions such as the distribution of reservoir parameters and production strategy, including well placement. Performing thorough simulations is therefore key to maximising the benefits. Although installation of a geothermal doublet in an early phase of gas production delivers the best results, it may still be beneficial to consider installation at a later stage when water breakthrough is emerging or the wells are closed in after full water breakthrough. Synergy with geothermal exploitation may therefore be key to an economic redevelopment of gas fields nearing the end of field life as well as to opening geothermal plays in areas where the initial investment risks are currently blocking developments. The additional profits obtained from increased gas production due to synergy between natural gas production and geothermal development can be used as an early repayment of the investment costs of the geothermal project, thereby lowering the financial risks.
