Abstract

The invention discloses an experimental method for researching the fault rupture process induced by water injection. The fault model is made by using transparent rock-like materials, the physical state of different fault planes is simulated by means of sand blasting, and high-frequency multi-field measurement (stress, strain, displacement) is adopted. The key parameters of the fault rupture process are calculated, and the water injection experiment is carried out on the fault plane under the biaxial loading system, which can completely "see" the whole process of the induced earthquake from incubation to instability and rupture, and further study the mechanism of the water injection-induced earthquake rupture process. And the characteristics of water injection-induced earthquakes under different water injection conditions. The invention provides technical support for exploring the changes in the whole process of water injection-induced earthquakes, and provides the possibility for ascertaining the rupture evolution of induced earthquakes.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of geophysical construction, and in particular, to a study on the study of water injection induced seismic fault cracking process. Background technique

[0002] In recent years, almost most induced earthquakes are related to fluid injection in energy mining, and water injection induced earthquakes has become a focus of research and discussion (Ellsworth., 2013), and may be further developed with industrial and energy-related activities Continue to in-depth (Keranen and Weingarten, 2018). For example, the MW 5.5 earthquake in 1967 in Denver, Colorado (Healy et al., 1968; Davis and Frohlich., 1993), 2011 MW 5.7 earthquake in Prague, Oklahoma (Keranen et al., 2013; Van Der Elst et al., 2013; McGarr., 2014; SUMY ET Al., 2014) and MW 5.5 earthquake in Puya, South Korea (Kim etal., 2018; Grigoli et al., 2018).

[0003] The water injection induced earthquake experiments have different scales: 1) large scale in situ experi...
