Geomechanical, seismological, and geodetic data pertaining to the Groningen gas field: a data package used in the "Mmax II Workshop", on constraining the maximum earthquake magnitude in the Groningen field

Stephen Oates | Anke Jannie Landman | Onno van der Wal | Hermann Baehr | Harry Piening

2022

The operator of the Groningen gas field, the Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM) has been developing and refining a seismic hazard and risk model as part of the response to induced earthquakes seen in the Groningen gas field since the early ‘90s. As part of these efforts, a workshop was...

Friction data of simulated basaltic fault gouge under hydrothermal conditions

Hanaya Okuda

2022

We performed friction experiments on simulated basaltic gouge under hydrothermal conditions to investigate roles of subducting oceanic crust on seismogenesis in subduction zones. In this dataset, we report raw data, processed data after removal of seal friction effects, velocity dependence of...

Core photographs of the Rotliegend reservoir of the Groningen gas field and surrounding areas

Clemens A. Visser | Karel Bokhorst

2022

The Groningen gas field is the largest gas field in Europe and has been showing seismicity since the 1990s. The ~200 meter deep gas reservoir is situated at ~3 km depth, and comprises Permian (Slochteren) sandstone from the Rotliegend formation. The reservoir has been cored extensively by the...

Petrel geological model of the Groningen gas field, the Netherlands

Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM)

2020

Geological model and data of the Groningen gas field, the Netherlands, developed by the Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM) and distributed by the Dutch research infrastructure of solid earth sciences, EPOS-NL. The static model helps geoscientists to develop stratigraphic and structural...

Activation of dissolution-precipitation creep causes weakening and viscous behaviour in experimentally-deformed antigorite

André Rik Niemeijer

2024

Antigorite occurs at seismogenic depth along plate boundary shear zones, particularly in subduction and oceanic transform settings, and has been suggested to control a low strength bulk rheology. To constrain dominant deformation mechanisms, we perform hydrothermal ring-shear experiments on...

Data accompanying the paper entitled: "The Frictional Strength and Stability of Spatially Heterogeneous Fault Gouges"

Job P.B. Arts

2023

We performed friction experiments on simulated gouges derived from the Ten Boer claystone and Slochteren sandstone members in the Groningen stratigraphy to test the effects of spatial heterogeneity on the fault mechanical behaviour. In this dataset we report microstructural data, mechanical...

Integrating the geological database of the subsurface of the Netherlands, for efficient visualization and interpretation

Liviu Matenco | Fred Beekman

2023

This data publication provides an integrated framework of the public geological database of the Dutch subsurface, for geological interpretation. It complements the extensive existing information portals available for public use by providing efficient visualization and interpretation of...

Data package with "Noncontacting laser-based acousto-seismics at the laboratory scale: towards near-real-time monitoring of granular analogue models"

Jasper Smits

2024

This data was generated using the seismo-acoustic setup for geological materials in the TecLab in Utrecht, described in the research paper that will accompany this data set. The data has been acquired using a PolyTec Vibrometer, and the data files provided contain all the raw data, processed...

True 2D-to-3D Reconstruction of Heterogenous Porous Media via Deep Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)

Hannah Vogel | Hamed Amiri

2024

[The latest version of this dataset is accessible via the following DOI: https://doi.org/10.24416/UU01-AFP38O] We imaged samples of Berea sandstone from Ohio (USA) using two 2D imaging techniques: backscattered electron (BSE) and optical microscopy, and 3D X-ray (micro-)computed tomography...

Dynamic Model (Eclipse Version) to predict the formation pressure response to gas extraction in the Groningen gas field, The Netherlands

Pradeep Tummala | Anke Jannie Landman | Jan van Elk

2023

The dynamic model of the Groningen gas field is used to predict the flow of water and gas in the reservoir and the areal distribution of reservoir pressure resulting from the withdrawal of gas from the reservoir. The main area of the model was primarily calibrated using measured reservoir...
