Symposium Induced Seismicity

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.

 Physics-based seismogenic models of increasing complexity have been evaluated using prospective testing.

 Theory of extreme threshold failures within a heterogeneous poro-elastic thin-sheet forecasts Groningen induced seismicity.

 Exponential shear strain trend with ETAS aftershocks.

Symposium Induced 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.

 No buildings are exposed to mean LPR > 10-4.

 Some 2,800 houses have 10-5<mean LPR
