Friction data of simulated fault gouges derived from the Groningen gas field
Hunfeld, Luuk; Niemeijer, André; Spiers, Christopher; (2017-12)
We investigated the frictional properties of simulated fault gouges derived from the main lithologies present in the seismogenic Groningen gas field (NE Netherlands), employing... -
Microstructural and stress data from HR-EBSD and STEM analyses of olivine deformed by low-temperature plasticity
Wallis, David; Hansen, Lars N.; Kumamoto, Kathryn M.; Thom, Christopher A.; Plümper, Oliver; Ohl, Markus; et al. (2021-08)
This dataset is supplemental to the paper Wallis et al. (2020) and contains data derived from syn-chrotron X-ray diffraction, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD),... -
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; (2019-10)
To understand the physical mechanisms governing fluid-induced seismicity at field-scale fluid injection projects, we conducted fluid-induced fault slip experiments in the... -
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; (2019-04)
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... -
Mechanical data and microstructures of simulated calcite fault gouge sheared at 550°C
Verberne, Berend Antonie; Chen, Jianye; Pennock, Gillian; (2017-10)
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... -
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; (2015-05)
Hydrocarbon or groundwater production from sandstone reservoirs can result in surface subsidence and induced seismicity. Subsidence results from combined elastic and inelastic...
