TY  - JOUR
AB  - The operator of the Groningen gas field is leading an effort to quantify the seismic hazard and riskof  the region  due  to induced  earthquakes,  includingoverseeing one  of  the  most comprehensive  liquefaction  hazard  studies performedgloballyto  date. Due  tothe  unique characteristics  of  the  seismic  hazard  and  the  geologic  deposits  in  Groningen,  efforts  first focused  on  developing relationships  for  a Groningen-specific liquefaction  triggering  model. The liquefaction hazard  was then assessedusing  a Monte Carlo method,  wherein a  range of credibleevent scenarios were considered in computingliquefaction damage-potentialhazard curves. Thiseffort entailed  the  use  of a  regional stochastic seismic source  model,ground motion prediction equation,site response model,and geologic model that were developed as part of the broader regional seismic hazardassessment.“No-to-Minor Surficial  Liquefaction Manifestations”arepredicted for mostsites across the study areafor a 75-year return period. The only sites where “Moderate Surficial Liquefaction Manifestations” are predicted are in the town of Zandeweer, with only some of the sites in the townbeing predicted to experience this severityof liquefactionfor thisreturn period.
