Physics-Based Forecasting of Induced Seismicity at Groningen Gas Field, The Netherlands: Post Hoc Evaluation and Forecast Update

David E. Dempsey et al.

Summary: Induced seismicity from gas extraction in the Groningen reservoir in the Netherlands has been occurring since the 1990s. The accuracy and relevance of previous earthquake magnitude forecasts for different extraction scenarios are unknown. This study evaluated a prior forecast and proposed a revised model, which suggested a 1% likelihood of the largest event exceeding M 3.8 (tapered model) or M 5.4 (unbounded model) in the period 2021-2030.

Post-injection aseismic slip as a mechanism for the delayed triggering of seismicity

Alexis Saez et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that after the injection of fluids has stopped, fault slip propagates in pulse-like mode. This persistent stressing due to post-injection aseismic slip is a plausible mechanism for triggering post-injection seismicity.

Poroelastic stress relaxation, slip stress transfer and friction weakening controlled post-injection seismicity at the Basel Enhanced Geothermal System

Auregan Boyet et al.

Summary: Post-injection seismicity at the enhanced geothermal system of Basel, Switzerland, was caused by poroelastic stress relaxation of stabilized faults during injection. Numerical simulations of the stress field applied on a fault network indicated that faults located near the injection well failed due to pore pressure buildup, while distant faults were affected by poroelastic stressing and shear-slip stress transfer. After injection stopped, the poroelastic stress relaxation led to the immediate rupture of previously stabilized faults.

Controls on the spatio-temporal patterns of induced seismicity in Groningen constrained by physics-based modelling with Ensemble-Smoother data assimilation

Thibault Candela et al.

Summary: This study investigates the induced seismicity in the Groningen gas field in the Netherlands, and reveals contrasting spatio-temporal patterns between the central area and the southwest area. By analyzing the stress development on faults and the frictional response of the faults to induced stresses, the study provides insights into the two main factors controlling the induced seismicity. The findings suggest that spatial heterogeneity in stress development and fault frictional response are both crucial in explaining the spatial variability of induced seismicity rates.

Cooling-induced reactivation of distant faults during long-term geothermal energy production in hot sedimentary aquifers

Iman Rahimzadeh Kivi et al.

Summary: The study shows that thermal stresses resulting from water circulation through a doublet in a hot sedimentary aquifer can destabilize faults located far away from the doublet. Additionally, the timing of fault reactivation is mainly controlled by fault permeability, emphasizing the importance of employing appropriate characterization methods.

Summary: This article provides a concise review of the triggering mechanisms of induced earthquakes, focusing on hydro-mechanical processes. Four mechanisms are reviewed: pore-fluid pressure diffusion, poroelastic stress, Coulomb static stress transfer, and aseismic slip. Several outstanding questions are discussed, and conclusions are drawn based on the review.

Summary: This study uses a coupled multiphase fluid flow and geomechanical simulator to model the fluid pressure and stress changes during CO2 injection, and investigates the impact of CO2 injection on faults in crystalline basement rock. The results show that considering poroelastic stress changes is crucial for accurately modeling the seismicity rate.

Stress-based forecasting of induced seismicity with instantaneous earthquake failure functions: Applications to the Groningen gas reservoir

Jonathan D. Smith et al.

Summary: In this study, a new method is proposed to assess stress changes due to gas extraction and forecast induced seismicity using the Groningen gas field as a test case. The method utilizes detailed knowledge of the reservoir geometry and production history, as well as surface subsidence measurements and seismicity data. The findings suggest that the exponential rise of seismicity nearly 30 years after the onset of production provides constraints on the distribution of initial strength, and the Gaussian distribution is suitable to describe both the tail and body of the distribution. It is concluded that the presented method is computationally efficient and robust to uncertainties.

Transient evolution of the relative size distribution of earthquakes as a risk indicator for induced seismicity

Vanille A. Ritz et al.

Summary: This article investigates the hazards caused by induced earthquakes in enhanced geothermal systems and reveals the importance of the relative size distribution of earthquakes, or the b-value, in controlling seismic risks. By comparing field observations and model results, the study demonstrates the systematic evolution of the b-value and resulting hazard during the injection cycle, which is influenced by site conditions, proximity to faults, and injection strategy. The findings provide new insights for assessing and mitigating seismic hazards and risks in geothermal projects.

Analytical Solution to Assess the Induced Seismicity Potential of Faults in Pressurized and Depleted Reservoirs

Haiqing Wu et al.

Summary: The study shows that impermeable faults have a greater potential for induced seismicity than permeable faults under any conditions, and the induced seismicity potential may be overestimated. Non-displaced permeable faults are a safer choice for site selection.

Unraveling the Causes of the Seismicity Induced by Underground Gas Storage at Castor, Spain

Victor Vilarrasa et al.

Summary: The offshore Castor Underground Gas Storage project was halted after gas injection triggered three M4 earthquakes in the crystalline basement, mechanisms of which remain unknown but possibly related to critically stressed fault and gas buoyancy. Understanding triggering mechanisms is crucial for forecasting induced seismicity in deep underground operations.

Summary: The article discusses a multidisciplinary approach to managing triggered seismicity using detailed subsurface information to calibrate geomechanical and earthquake source physics models. By applying this method in the seismically active Val d'Agri oil field, successful management of triggered seismicity was demonstrated. Applying this approach elsewhere could help in managing and mitigating seismic activity.

Effect of Porosity and Permeability Evolution on Injection-Induced Aseismic Slip

Yuyun Yang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the process of aseismic slip induced by fluid injection and finds that porosity and permeability change with slip, leading to pore pressure diffusion. The slip process can be divided into two phases, with the first phase showing standard linear diffusion of pore pressure and the second phase exhibiting deviation due to dilatancy. Additionally, factors such as prestress, injection rate, and permeability affect the slip front migration rate.
