Future scenarios for induced seismicity at the Groningen gas field, Netherlands ...

<!--!introduction!--> The Groningen gas field is one of the most frequently considered sites for studying induced seismicity. The public concern about seismic activity increased drastically with the M3.6 Huizinge earthquake in 2012. Since then gas production has been reduced and is planned to be terminated soon. In our study we first present statistical estimates of the maximum possible magnitude based on the earthquake catalog from 1991 until present. Second, future scenarios for seismicity are calculated for various statistical and physical models using gas production scenarios and sim... Mehr ...
