Geological model of Groningen for seismic hazard and risk analysis

What is it about?

A geological model has been built that serves as input in the seismic hazard and risk analysis that is required for the exploitation permit of the Groningen gas field. We have built the model based on existing geological models, cone penetration tests, borehole descriptions and geological system knowledge. Relevant parameters, such as shear-wave velocity have been included in the model.

Why is it important?

The geological model is one of the inputs for the seismic hazard and risk model. This model is important to assess the risk of the Groningen people.
