The main objective of this paper is to give an overview of the risks seen in the exploration and production of geothermal energy from the viewpoint of the regulator. The risks are categorised as conventional risks, ultra-deep risks and enhancing factors. These risks are similar to those seen in the oil and gas industry, but the maturity of the geothermal sector in terms of managing such risks is much lower. Another objective of this paper is to discuss how these risks are managed and mitigated by the sector and the supervisor, State Supervision of Mines (SodM). Portfolio operators developing multiple projects, using skilled employees and embracing continuous improvement are seen as the way forward for the sector to grow safely and sustainably. This paper concludes that positive developments have started, but a lot of work still needs to be done to ensure safe growth of the geothermal energy sector.

通过积极应对风险和危害，确保荷兰地热能源行业的安全发展

本文的主要目的是从监管机构的角度概述地热能勘探和生产中的风险。风险分为常规风险、超深度风险和增强因素。这些风险与石油和天然气行业的风险相似，但地热行业在管理此类风险方面的成熟度要低得多。本文的另一个目的是讨论行业和监管机构国家矿业监管局 (SodM) 如何管理和减轻这些风险。投资组合运营商开发多个项目、使用熟练的员工并接受持续改进被视为该行业安全和可持续发展的前进方向。本文的结论是，积极的发展已经开始，
