Introduction Hazard and Risk Assessment The hazard- and risk assessment spans from cause (gas production) to effect (accidents, harm and building damage).
The uncertainties in each step of the assessment are identified, estimated and consistently incorporated in the assessment.
A traditional Probabilistic Seismic Hazard and Risk Framework is used (based on Cornell, 1968).
Implementation is based on Monte Carlo Method (C- and Python Code) NAM has sought the assistance and advice of external experts from academia and knowledge institutes for each expertise area. Rigorous assurance processes are in
place.
Key is the collection of data in Groningen to prepare a hazard and risk assessment specific to the Groningen situation.

Gas Production Detailed mapping of faults in the reservoir. This forms the basis of geomechanical studies into fault behaviour (e.g. University Utrecht).
Reservoir Model has been history matched using downhole pressure, converted closed-in THP, waterencroachment (PNL) and subsidence. Evaluated model Slope (scales clipped)
performance against gravity survey data.
Optimisation of the distribution of the gas production from the field to reduce seismicity.

Ground Motion Model to predict distributions—medians plus sigmas—of Sa(T), PGV and duration (DS5-75) as needed for risk assessments.
Applicable from ML 2.5 to largest Mmax, accounting for finite rupture dimensions of larger events and epistemic uncertainty associated with extrapolation from smallmagnitude recordings.
Model the variation of near-surface profiles across the field and the non-linear response of soft soil deposits.
Model to reflect the unique velocity structure above the gas reservoir. Model to reflect source characteristics of Groningen earthquakes—and potential for larger stress drops for bigger event.
