Chen, J. (author), Hunfeld, L.B. (author), Niemeijer, A.R. (author), Spiers, C.J. (author)High-velocity friction experiments on simulated fault gouges sheared at high normal stress and to low displacement are particularly relevant to induced seismicity, which is becoming an important topic in fault mechanics. Using a new, improved set-up, which allows simulation of fault stress and fluid pressure ((Formula presented.)) conditions...article 2023

Wildenborg, T. (author), Loeve, D. (author), Neele, F. (author)A plan was developed for large-scale transport and storage of CO2, inspired by the measures in The Netherlands Climate Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. The main focus was on reduction of CO2 emissions captured from large industrial sources in the Rotterdam harbour area (Rijnmond region). CO2 storage potential is...article 2022

Post, R.A.J. (author), Michels, M.A.J. (author), Ampuero, J.P. (author), Candela, T. (author), Fokker, P.A. (author), van Wees, J.D. (author), van der Hofstad, R.W. (author), van den Heuvel, E.R. (author)The initial footprint of an earthquake can be extended considerably by triggering of clustered aftershocks. Such earthquake–earthquake interactions have been studied extensively for data-rich, stationary natural seismicity. Induced seismicity, however, is intrinsically inhomogeneous in time and space and may have a limited catalog of events;...article 2021

Poort, J.P. (author), Shoeibi Omrani, P.S. (author), Vecchia, A.L. (author)The production optimization of mature gas fields is severely complicated by the occurrence of certain undesired well events such as salt precipitation, liquid loading, or gas/water coning. Learning from production data of periods in which such events have taken place could help operators improve the process optimization. However, due to the...conference paper 2020

Vandeweijer, V. (author), Hofstee, C. (author), Graven, H. (author)Since 2004 the feasibility of CO2 injection and storage in depleted natural gas fields has been researched and demonstrated at K12-B, a gas field on the Dutch continental shelf. In total over 100 Kton of CO2 was injected. The entire operation at the K12-B field was completed without any major complications. It can therefore be stated that safe...conference paper 2018

Paap, B. (author), Kraaijpoel, D. (author), Bakker, M. (author), Gharti, H.N. (author)Gas extraction from the Groningen natural gas field, situated in the Netherlands, frequently induces earthquakes in the reservoir that cause damage to buildings, and pose a safety hazard and a nuisance to the local population. Due to the dependence of the national heating infrastructure on Groningen gas, the short-term mitigation measures are...article 2018

van Thienen-Visser, K. (author), Roholl, J.A. (author), van Kempen, B.M.M. (author), Muntendam-Bos, A.G. (author)In recent years public concern about earthquakes induced by gas production has increased in the Netherlands. This has mainly been caused by numerous seismic events related to gas depletion in the Groningen gas field, the largest gas field in Western Europe. Induced seismicity has also been observed in 31 smaller gas fields located on land ...article 2018

Feng, T. (author), Leeuwenburgh, O. (author), Hewson, C. (author), Hanea, R.G. (author)Alternating injection of water and gas (WAG) has been widely applied as an oil recovery strategy since the late 1950s. The expected benefits are improved macroscopic sweep, with the water and gas sweeping lower and upper zones of the reservoir respectively, and improved microscopic sweep due to various effects leading to lowering of the residual...conference paper 2017

Weimer, P. (author), Bouroullec, R. (author), Adson, J. (author), Cossey, S.P.J. (author)The northern deep-waterGulf ofMexico is one of themost active deep-water petroleum provinces in the world. This paper introduces the regional geologic setting for the northern deep-water Gulf of Mexico and briefly discusses the importance of technology in developing the area's resources. Exploration has focused on four major geologic provinces:...article 2017

Steenbergen, R.D.J.M. (author), Vrouwenvelder, A.C.W.M. (author)In the Dutch province of Groningen over the last year shallow earthquakes are induced due to large scale gas extraction from the gas field at 3 km depth. The induced earthquakes differ from the better known tectonic earthquakes all over the world, caused by movement of the earth at large depths. The structures affected by the earthquakes however...conference paper 2017

Sijacic, D. (author), Pijpers, F. (author), Nepveu, M. (author), van Thienen-Visser, K. (author)Depletion of the Groningen gas field has induced earthquakes, although the north of the Netherlands is a tectonically inactive region. Increased seismic activity raised public concern which led the government to initiate a number of studies with the aim of understanding the cause(s) of the earthquakes. If the relationship between production and...article 2017

Paap, B.F. (author), Steeghs, T.P.H. (author), Kraaijpoel, D.A. (author)We present the results of a detailed seismic modeling study of induced seismicity observed at the Groningen gas field, situated in the North-eastern part of the Netherlands. Seismic simulations are valuable to support the interpretation of observed earthquake waveforms recordings and to increase the understanding of the underlying source...conference paper 2016

Golliard, J. (author), Lunde, K. (author), Vijlbrief, O. (author)Flexible pipes for production of oil and gas typically present a corrugated inner surface. This has been identified as the cause of "singing risers": Flow-Induced Pulsations due to the interaction of sound waves with the shear layers at the small cavities present at each of the multiple corrugations. The new flexible technology discussed in this...conference paper 2016

Roholl, J.A. (author), van Thienen-Visser, K. (author), Breunese, J.N. (author)In recent studies on the surface subsidence caused by hydrocarbon recovery of the Groningen gas field, the predicted subsidence is overestimated if results of compaction experiments are not corrected by an empirical `upscaling factor'. In order to find an explanation for this `upscaling factor', an analysis is presented of different laboratory...conference paper 2016

van der Linden, R.J.P. (author), Marck, J.W. (author), de Boer, J.P. (author)Operating maturing assets poses increasingly complex challenges to operators. Meeting hourly or daily production targets becomes more difficult when wells are more often shut in for e.g. water washes (against salt deposition) or solvent jobs (at asphaltenes deposition). Declining reservoir pressure in turn results in less margin to compensate...conference paper 2015
