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...

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...

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...

2024

Induced earthquakes have occurred in the Groningen gas field in the Netherlands, since 1991, almost three decades after production began in 1963. As part of the Hazard and Risk Assment for the Groningen gas field, the field operator NAM (Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij BV) developed the...

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...

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...

Replication Data for: Assessing the Impact of Grain Size on Magnetic Measurements

Frenk Out | Rosa A. de Boer | John Walmsley | Lennart V. de Groot

2024

This Dataset contains all data (and more!) required to replicate the results presented in the manuscript. All data processing is carried out in jupyter notebooks (DataProcessing_*.ipynb). Required python packages are listed at the end of this file. We employed FIBSEM data (focused ion beam...

Hazard and Risk Assessment tool for the Groningen Gas Field, the Netherlands [updated]

Stephen J. Bourne | Steve J. Oates

2023

In October 2012, NAM (Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij BV) commenced with the study and data acquisition research program for induced seismicity in the Groningen gas field, North Netherlands. One of the aims of this program was to prepare a probabilistic seismic hazard and risk assessment...

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...
