Oumejjoud, Salima (author)Using a field classification, I have assessed the likelihood that a gas field caused a seismic event. I have put the focus on all of the minor gas fields located in the Rotliegend sandstone formation in the Netherlands. These gas fields were divided into five geologically distinctly different regions: the North Holland Platform (NHP), the...master thesis 2023

Anikiev, Denis (author), Birnie, Claire (author), Waheed, Umair bin (author), Alkhalifah, Tariq (author), Gu, Chen (author), Verschuur, D.J. (author), Eisner, Leo (author)The confluence of our ability to handle big data, significant increases in instrumentation density and quality, and rapid advances in machine learning (ML) algorithms have placed Earth Sciences at the threshold of dramatic progress. ML techniques have been attracting increased attention within the seismic community, and, in particular, in...review 2023

Jansen, J.D. (author)This note provides unregularized and regularized closed-form analytical expressions for the depletion-induced or injection-induced pre-slip Coulomb stresses in two-dimensional displaced dip-slip faults. The regularization serves to remove logarithmic singularities and jump-discontinuities in the unregularized formulation. The expressions are...report 2023

Vinard, N. (author)When humans started started exploiting the abundant underground natural resources the Earth has to offer such as hydrocarbons, minerals and heat, we started to experience earthquakes that are related to this exploitation, so called induced earthquakes. Under certain conditions those can damage local infrastructure. However, most events are weak...doctoral thesis 2022

Novikov, A. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author), Khait, M. (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author), Jansen, J.D. (author)We present a scalable collocated Finite Volume Method (FVM) to simulate induced seismicity as a result of pore pressure changes. A discrete system is obtained based on a fully-implicit fully-coupled description of flow, elastic deformation, and contact mechanics at fault surfaces on a flexible unstructured mesh. The cell-centered collocated...journal article 2022

Muntendam-Bos, A.G. (author), Hoedeman, Gerco (author), Polychronopoulou, Katerina (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Weemstra, C. (author), van der Zee, Wouter (author), Bakker, R.R. (author), Roest, J.C. (author)We present an overview of induced seismicity due to subsurface engineering in the Netherlands. Our overview includes events induced by gas extraction, underground gas storage, geothermal heat extraction, salt solution mining and post-mining water ingress. Compared to natural seismicity, induced events are usually small (magnitudes ≤ 4.0)....journal article 2022

Candela, Thibault (author), Pluymaekers, Maarten (author), Ampuero, Jean Paul (author), Van Wees, Jan Diederik (author), Buijze, Loes (author), Wassing, Brecht (author), Osinga, Sander (author), Grobbe, Niels (author), Muntendam-Bos, A.G. (author)The induced seismicity in the Groningen gas field, The Netherlands, presents contrasted spatio-temporal patterns between the central area and the south west area. Understanding the origin of this contrast requires a thorough assessment of two factors: (1) the stress development on the Groningen faults and (2) the frictional response of the...journal article 2022

Schultz, Ryan (author), Muntendam-Bos, A.G. (author), Zhou, W. (author), Beroza, Gregory C. (author), Ellsworth, William L. (author)Prospects for geothermal energy in the Netherlands have renewed concerns around induced earthquakes. Risks from induced earthquakes are managed by traffic light protocols (TLPs), where the red-light is chosen as the stop-point before exceeding a tolerance to risk. Here, we simulate post-shut-in earthquake scenarios based on realistic...journal article 2022

Ruan, J. (author), Masfara, La ODE Marzujriban (author), Ghose, R. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)Dynamic geomechanical modeling can generate the seismic wavefield caused by a fault rupture. In dynamic fault-rupture modeling, the source is considered to be finite, with a limited extent both in space and in time. This contrasts with the definition of a point source, which is generally assumed to explain the seismic wavefield caused by an...book chapter 2022

Kisa, Mehmet (author)Gas extractions are responsible for mostly all induced earthquakes in the Groningen area and this leads to damage of houses and buildings and issues regarding safety. Current strengthening measurements are mostly very visible. However, this can change by using the window frame as part of the structure, particularly interesting for Dutch houses...master thesis 2021

Bracchi, Stefano (author), Graziotti, Francesco (author), Messali, F. (author), Penna, Andrea (author)In the last two decades, the province of Groningen, located in the North-East of the Netherlands, has been subjected to an increasing number of earthquakes induced by gas extractions. The existing building stock is mainly composed by unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings not conceived to resist seismic loads. The need of reducing the...conference paper 2021

Chamarczuk, M. (author), Malinowski, M. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Grant, A. (author), Asgharzadeh, M. (author), Urosevic, M. (author)Here we analyse ambient noise (AN) data generated during drilling of exploration boreholes and recorded using a dense array deployed over one of the numerous shallow iron-ore mineralization targets in the Pilbara region (Western Australia). Drilling and drilling-related operations were reoccurring in a sequence as described by the drillers’...journal article 2021

Hunfeld, Luuk B. (author), Chen, J. (author), Niemeijer, André R. (author), Ma, Shengli (author), Spiers, Christopher J. (author)Rock materials show dramatic dynamic weakening in large-displacement (m), high-velocity (∼1 m/s) friction experiments, providing a mechanism for the generation of large, natural earthquakes. However, whether such weakening occurs during induced M3-4 earthquakes (dm displacements) is unknown. We performed rotary-shear experiments on simulated...journal article 2021

Zaal, Caroline (author)The main objective of this thesis is to assess the combined influences of specified reservoir conditions and operational parameters on the profitability of a geothermal project and on the potential for fault reactivation. The aim is to propose potential development strategies to maximize the profitability and minimize the potential for slip and...master thesis 2020

Drougkas, A. (author), Licciardello, L. (author), Rots, J.G. (author), Esposito, R. (author)The province of Groningen in the Netherlands is experiencing the continuous impact of gas extraction in the form of induced seismicity. Due to the absence of naturally occurring seismicity in the region, the historic building stock of Groningen was constructed without empirical design features typically encountered in naturally seismic...journal article 2020

Singhal, Pranshu (author)Injection and production of fluids into/from the subsurface has been known to trigger earthquakes, referred to as induced seismicity. This seismicity may occur when anthropogenically caused changes in the in-situ stress conditions result in reactivation of pre-existing faults in the subsurface causing slip accompanied by sudden release of energy...master thesis 2019

Bekési, Eszter (author), Fokker, PA (author), Martins, Joana E. (author), van Wees, Jan-Diederik (author)On the 8th of February 2016, a Mw 4.2 earthquake was detected inside the Los Humeros caldera, located in the eastern sector of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. The event occurred after a sharp increase in the injection rate at the Los Humeros Geothermal Field and it was recorded by the seismic monitoring network of the power plant. The...conference paper 2019

Jansen, J.D. (author), Singhal, P. (author), Vossepoel, F.C. (author)We consider fluid-induced seismicity and present closed-form expressions for the elastic displacements, strains, and stresses resulting from injection into or production from a reservoir with displaced faults. We apply classic inclusion theory to two-dimensional finite-width and infinite-width reservoir models. First, we simplify the fault model...journal article 2019

Messali, F. (author), Esposito, R. (author), Jafari, S. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)In recent years, induced seismicity in the north of the Netherlands significantly increased. As a consequence, the seismic assessment of the built environment, which mainly consists of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures not designed for seismic loads, became of high relevance. Within this context, an extensive multiscale testing program has...conference paper 2018
