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 o ...
The coastal plains of the Netherlands are subject to anthropogenic and natural subsidence with rates which are an order of magnitude higher than sea-level rise. Because one-third of the Netherlands lies below mean sea level, subsidence may threaten the country’s subsistence with ...

Unravelling anthropogenic causes of subsidence with a hybrid AI approach

The Netherlands is subject to anthropogenic and natural subsidence with rates for which the relative contribution of each process to total subsidence (i.e. natural plus anthropogenic) is still unclear. Such information is important for stakeholders to support decision making on s ...

Depletion-induced seismicity at the Groningen gas field

Coulomb rate-and-state models including differential compaction effect

We implement a Coulomb rate-and-state approach to explore the nonlinear relation between stressing rate and seismicity rate in the Groningen gas field. Coulomb stress rates are calculated, taking into account the 3-D structural complexity of the field and including the poroelasti ...
