Naderloo, M. (author), Ramesh Kumar, K. (author), Hernandez, Edgar (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author)Considering the storage capacity and already existing infrastructures, underground porous reservoirs are highly suitable to store green energy, for example, in the form of green gases such as hydrogen and compressed air. Depending on the energy demand and supply, the energy-rich fluids are injected and produced, which induces cyclic change of...journal article 2023

Veltmeijer, A.V. (author), Naderloo, M. (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author)With human activities in the subsurface increasing, so does the risk of induced seismicity. For mitigation of the seismic hazard and limiting the risk, monitoring and forecasting are essential. A laboratory study was performed to find precursors to fault failure. In this study, Red Pfaelzer sandstones samples were used, which are analog to the...abstract 2022

de Hoop, S. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author), Bertotti, G. (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author)Fracture networks are abundant in subsurface applications (e.g., geothermal energy production, CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration). Fractured reservoirs often have a very complex structure, making modeling flow and transport in such networks slow and unstable. Consequently, this limits our ability to perform uncertainty quantification and increases...journal article 2022

Naderloo, M. (author), Veltmeijer, A.V. (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author)Increased seismicity due to subsurface activities has led to increased interest in monitoring and seismic risk mitigation. In this study we combined passive and active acoustic monitoring methods to monitor fault sliding and reactivation in the laboratory. Acoustic emission (AE) and ultrasonic transmission measurements were performed during...conference paper 2022

Hassing, S.H.W. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author), Janssen, M. (author)In July 2021, passive seismic data has been recorded on a network of geophones at the CarbFix2 injection site at Hellisheiði, Iceland. This data is processed using seismic interferometry to get an image of the injection reservoir. The data is split up into noise panels. Panels dominated by body-wave energy are selected using an illumination...conference paper 2022

Hernandez, E. (author), Naderloo, M. (author), Ramesh Kumar, K. (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author)Underground energy storage (UES) in porous and cavity reservoirs can be used to balance the mismatch between the production and demand of renewable energy. Understanding the geomechanical behaviour of these reservoirs under different storage conditions, i.e., storage frequency and fluid pressure, is key in defining their capacity and effective...conference paper 2022

Kluge, C. (author), Blöcher, Guido (author), Hofmann, Hannes (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author), Schmittbuhl, Jean (author), Bruhn, D.F. (author)The hydraulic performance and mechanical stability of open fractures are crucial for several subsurface applications including fractured geothermal reservoirs or nuclear waste repositories. Their hydraulic and mechanical properties (fluid flow and fracture stiffness) are both strongly dependent on the fracture geometry. Any change in...journal article 2021

(author), Harrison, Richard J. (author), van Leeuwen, Tristan (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author)Our understanding of the past behavior of the geomagnetic field arises from magnetic signals stored in geological materials, e.g., (volcanic) rocks. Bulk rock samples, however, often contain magnetic grains that differ in chemistry, size, and shape; some of them record the Earth's magnetic field well, others are unreliable. The presence of a...journal article 2021

(author), Herwegh, Marco (author)In experiments designed to understand deep shear zones, we show that periodic porous sheets emerge spontaneously during viscous creep and that they facilitate mass transfer. These findings challenge conventional expectations of how viscosity in solid rocks operates and provide quantitative data in favour of an alternative paradigm, that of...journal article 2021

Pluymakers, A.M.H. (author), Ougier-Simonin, A. (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author)At ten percent of sedimentary rocks, limestones are common geo-energy reservoirs. Being highly soluble, limestones are prone to fluid-assisted deformation and their mechanical behaviour likely susceptible to fluid chemistry. In this study, we saturated limestone samples with 0.4 M MgSO<sub>4</sub> or 0.4 M Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> CaCO...journal article 2021

Gilgannon, James (author), Poulet, Thomas (author), Berger, Alfons (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author), Herwegh, Marco (author)Creep cavities are increasingly recognized as an important syn-kinematic feature of shear zones, but much about this porosity needs investigation. Largely, observations of creep cavities are restricted to very fine grained mature ultramylonites, and it is unclear when they developed during deformation. Specifically, a question that needs...journal article 2020
