Caves&Waves

Quantification of the probability of induced seismicity associated with large-scale hydrogen storage in Dutch salt formations

Caves&Waves is a project in the context of the challenges posed by subsurface storage as part of the energy transition. Induced earthquakes are among the biggest problems for subsurface operations. Small magnitude events have been reported regularly for the current leaching and storage operations. The aim of Caves&Waves is to understand, analyse and quantify the mechanism behind these small events and assess the probability for induced seismicity associated with future large scale storage activities.
