Frictional healing data from direct shear slide-hold-slide experiments performed on simulated fault gouges from the Groningen gas field
Hunfeld, Luuk Bernd; (2020)
We investigated the frictional strength recovery (healing) and subsequent reactivation and slip-weakening behaviour of simulated fault gouges derived from key stratigraphic... -
Frictional properties of simulated shale-coal fault gouges: Implications for induced seismicity in source rocks below Europe’s largest gas field
Liu, Jinfeng; Hunfeld, Luuk Bernd; Niemeijer, André Rik; Spiers, Christopher James; (2019)
We report 21 frictional sliding experiments performed on simulated fault gouges prepared from shale-coal mixtures. Our aim was to investigate the effects of local coal seam... -
Intergranular clay films control inelastic deformation in the Groningen gas reservoir: Evidence from split-cylinder deformation tests
Pijnenburg, Ronald; Verberne, Berend Antonie; Hangx, Suzanne; Spiers, Christopher James; (2019)
Production of oil and gas from sandstone reservoirs leads to small elastic and inelastic strains in the reservoir, which may induce surface subsidence and seismicity. While the... -
Contact model and numerical modelling results: “Compaction of the Groningen Gas Reservoir Sandstone: Discrete Element Modelling Using Microphysically Based Grain-Scale Interaction Laws”
Mehranpour, Mohammad Hadi; (2021)
Reservoir compaction, surface subsidence and induced seismicity are often associated with prolonged hydrocarbon production. Recent experiments conducted on the Groningen gas... -
Frictional slip weakening and shear-enhanced crystallinity in simulated coal fault gouges at subseismic slip rates
Liu, Jinfeng; Hunfeld, Luuk Bernd; (2020)
We report seven velocity stepping (VS) and one slide-hold-slide (SHS) friction experiments performed on simulated fault gouges prepared from bituminous coal, collected from the... -
Large-scale biaxial experiments on frictionally heterogeneous faults: Mechanical data and selected strain and image data
Buijze, Loes; Guo, Yanshuang; (2020)
Frictional heterogeneity within fault zones is one of the factors proposed to explain the spectrum of slow, intermediate, and fast slip behaviors exhibited by faults in nature....
