Anthropogenic operations involving underground fluid extraction or injection can cause
unexpectedly large and even damaging earthquakes, despite operational and regulatory …

Deterministic earthquake prediction remains elusive, but time‐dependent probabilistic
seismicity forecasting seems within reach thanks to the development of physics‐based …

We implement a Coulomb rate‐and‐state approach to explore the nonlinear relation
between stressing rate and seismicity rate in the Groningen gas field. Coulomb stress rates …

Induced seismicity due to natural gas production is observed at different sites worldwide.
Common understanding states that the pressure drop caused by gas production leads to …

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 …

Various phenomena in the subsurface are characterised by the interplay between deforming
structures such as fractures and coupled thermal, hydraulic and mechanical processes …

Ubiquitous observations of channelised fluid flow in the form of pipes or chimney-like
features in sedimentary sequences provide strong evidence for significant transient …

The success of geoenergy applications such as petroleum recovery or geological storage of
CO2 depends on properly addressing the physical coupling between the pore fluid diffusion …

Fluid extraction from sandstone oil, gas, or geothermal reservoirs causes elastic and
inelastic compaction of the reservoir, which may lead to surface subsidence and induced …

Recently, growing earthquake activity in the northeastern Netherlands has aroused
considerable concern among the 600,000 provincial inhabitants. There, at 3 km deep, the …
