Mechanical and microstructural data used in: “Inelastic deformation of the Slochteren sandstone: Stress-strain relations and implications for induced seismicity in the Groningen gas field"

Pijnenburg, Ronald | Verberne, Berend | Hangx, Suzanne | Spiers, Christopher

2019

Pore pressure reduction in sandstone reservoirs generally leads to small elastic plus inelastic strains. These small strains (0.1 – 1.0% in total) may lead to surface subsidence and induced seismicity. In current geomechanical models, the inelastic component is usually neglected, though its...

Mechanical and microstructural data used in the article Pijnenburg et al., Deformation behaviour of sandstones from the seismogenic Groningen gas field: Role of inelastic versus elastic mechanisms

Pijnenburg, Ronald | Verberne, Berend | Hangx, Suzanne | Spiers, Christopher

2018

Hydrocarbon or groundwater production from sandstone reservoirs can result in surface subsidence and induced seismicity. Subsidence results from combined elastic and inelastic compaction of the reservoir due to a change in the effective stress state upon fluid extraction. The magnitude of...

Fluid-Induced Fault Slip Experiments in the Laboratory on Critically Stressed Saw-Cut Sandstone Samples with High Permeability

Wang, Lei | Kwiatek, Grzegorz | Rybacki, Erik | Bonnelye, Audrey | Bohnhoff, Marco | Dresen, Georg

2020

To understand the physical mechanisms governing fluid-induced seismicity at field-scale fluid injection projects, we conducted fluid-induced fault slip experiments in the laboratory on critically stressed saw-cut sandstone samples with high permeability using different fluid pressurization...

Experimental and model data of aggregate compaction by pressure solution

van den Ende, Martijn

2017

Intergranular pressure solution creep is an important deformation mechanism in the Earth’s crust. The phenomenon has been frequently studied and several analytical models have been proposed that describe its constitutive behavior. These models require assumptions regarding the geometry of the...

Velocity-dependent slip weakening by the combined operation of pressure solution and foliation development

Niemeijer, Andre

2018

Phyllosilicate-bearing faults are characterized by an anastomosing foliation with intervening hard clasts and are believed to be long-term weak structures. Here, I present results of sliding experiments on gouges of 80 wt% quartz and 20 wt% muscovite, sheared under hydrothermal conditions at...

Mechanical data and microstructures of simulated calcite fault gouge sheared at 550°C

Verberne, Berend Antonie | Chen, Jianye | Pennock, Gillian

2017

The largest magnitude earthquakes nucleate at depths near the base of the seismogenic zone, near the transition from velocity weakening frictional slip to velocity strengthening ductile flow. However, the mechanisms controlling this transition, and relevant to earthquake nucleation, remain...

Creep data of (Dotternhausen) Posidonia shale

Rybacki, Erik | Herrmann, Johannes | Wirth, Richard | Dresen, Georg

2018

Experimentally determined data to examine the creep behavior of an immature carbonate-rich Posidonia shale (Dottenhausen), subjected to constant stress conditions at temperatures between 50 and 200 °C and confining pressures of 50–200 MPa, simulating elevated in-situ depth conditions. The...

Supplementary material to: A refined age calibrated paleosecular variation and relative paleointensity stack for the NW Barents Sea: implication for geomagnetic field behavior during the Holocene.

Caricchi, Chiara | Sagnotti, Leonardo | Campuzano, Saioa A. | Lucchi, Renata Giulia | Macrì, Patrizia | Rebesco, Michele | Camerlenghi, Angelo

2020

This dataset includes paleomagnetic and rock magnetic analyses from four sediment cores collected on continental slope of Storfjorden and Kveithola trough‐mouth fans (western Spitsbergen margin, southern Svalbard archipelago). In detail, piston core SV-04 was collected during the Spanish...

Supplementary material for analogue experiments on the interactions of two indenters, and their implications for curved fold-and-thrust-belts

Reiter, Karsten | Kukowski, Nina | Ratschbacher, Lothar | Rosenau, Matthias

2016

This data publication includes animations and figures of eight scaled analogue models that are used to investigate the evolution of a curved mountain belt akin to the Pamir and Hindu Kush orogenic system and adjacent Tadjik basin. Crustal deformation is simulated by means of indentation of...

Hydrothermal Friction data of gouges derived from the Alpine Fault

Niemeijer, Andre

2017

The Alpine Fault, New Zealand, is a major plate-bounding fault that accommodates 65–75% of the total relative motion between the Australian and Pacific plates. Here we present data on the hydrothermal frictional properties of Alpine Fault rocks that surround the principal slip zones (PSZ) of...
