A 2.8-magnitude earthquake rattled northern Groningen early Friday morning, felt sharply near Zandeweer—its shallow depth making it especially noticeable. Experts at the KNMI confirm this was an “induced quake,” directly tied to ongoing gas extraction, even though the main field was shut down two years ago. Villages like Uithuizen and Kantens reported shaking, but thankfully no injuries or damage occurred. With continued extraction from smaller fields until 2032, residents can expect more tremors for years—or even decades—to come. The last major quake in the region was a 3.0 back in March, and last year’s biggest was a 3.4—proof that Groningen’s ground is still settling.
