Data for reactive porosity generation during serpentinite dehydration produces highly permeable olivine vein networks

Austin Arias

2026

We calculated the permeability of porous olivine aggregates produced through the experimental dehydration of serpentinite. The segmented micro-computed tomography results from Eberhard et al., 2025 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.24416/UU01-WW5PS8) were analyzed by taking subvolumes of increasing size...

Experimental evidence for deformation-enhanced devolatilization of (carbonated) serpentinite fault gouges

Lisa Eberhard

2024

We analysed the frictional behaviour of antigorite and carbonated antigorite fault gouges in rotary-shear experiments at Utrecht University. Experiments were conducted at temperatures ranging from 400 - 630 °C, effective normal stresses of 100 - 150 MPa under fluid saturated conditions. This...

Multi-scale electron microscopy data package of nanoporosity in serpentinite

Alireza Chogani

2023

To determine the nature of serpentinite nanoporosity, we employed multidimensional electron microscopy in conjunction with granular simulations. We investigated samples from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Røragen ultramafic complex (Norway) using scanning and transmission electron microscopy,...

Lisa Eberhard

2026

This data repository contains all data used in "Seismogenic consequences of carbonation in ultramafic fault zones" by L. Eberhard et al. Thermodynamic input files, back-scattered electron images, energy-dispersive X-ray maps, experimental data logs (raw and reduced data) and Rate-and-State...

Contact model and numerical modelling results: “Compaction of the Groningen Gas Reservoir Sandstone: Discrete Element Modelling Using Microphysically Based Grain-Scale Interaction Laws”

Mohammad Hadi Mehranpour

2021

Reservoir compaction, surface subsidence and induced seismicity are often associated with prolonged hydrocarbon production. Recent experiments conducted on the Groningen gas field’s Slochteren sandstone reservoir rock, at in-situ conditions, have shown that compaction involves both poro-elastic...

Mechanical and microstructural data used in: “Rate-dependent Inelastic Deformation of Slochteren Sandstone: Implication for Reservoir Compaction in the Groningen Gas Field”

Takahiro Shinohara

2025

Hydrocarbon production from sandstone reservoirs causes elastic and inelastic reservoir compaction, potentially leading to surface subsidence and even seismicity, such as observed in the Groningen Gas Field, Netherlands. Inelastic compaction can partly be instantaneous, though...

Mechanical and microstructural data used in: “The effect of strain rate on inelastic strain development in porous sandstones deformed under reservoir conditions”

Takahiro Shinohara

2024

Subsurface human activities, such as fluid extraction from oil or gas sandstone reservoirs, frequently leads to surface subsidence and even induced seismicity, as observed in the Groningen Gas Field, the Netherlands. Subsidence is caused by elastic and inelastic reservoir compaction at depth...

Data from seismic slip-pulse experiments simulating induced earthquake rupture in the Groningen gas field

Luuk Bernd Hunfeld

2021

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...
