Production-induced seismicity indicates a low risk of strong earthquakes in the Groningen gas field
Abstract The maximum possible earthquake related to gas production in Western Europe’s largest gas field, Groningen, Netherlands, is an urgent practical question. Here we show how to distinguish between induced and triggered tectonic earthquakes. We estimate the maximum possible induced magnitude in...
