The three‐year CO2 injection period at the Illinois Basin ‐ Decatur Project site (Decatur, Illinois, United States) produced a number of microseismic events distributed in very distinct spatiotemporal clusters with different orientations. Further characterization of the microseismicity encompasses the determination of the event source mechanisms. Initially, the microseismic monitoring network consisted solely of borehole sensors, but has been extended with surface sensors, thereby significantly improving the data coverage over the focal sphere. This article focuses on 23 events from the northernmost microseismic cluster (about 2 km from the injection point) and takes advantage of both, surface and downhole, recordings. The resulting strike‐slip east–west‐oriented focal planes are all consistent with the east–west orientation of the cluster in map view. The injection‐related increase of pore pressure is far below the formation fracture pressure; however, small stress‐field changes associated with the pore‐pressure increase may reach as far as to the investigated cluster location. Monte Carlo modeling of the slip reactivation potential within this cluster showed that the observed maximum stress‐field orientation of N068° is the optimum orientation for fault reactivation of the east–west‐oriented cluster. Our results suggest that the east–west orientation of the investigated cluster is the main reason for its activation, even though the cluster is about 2 km away from the low‐pressure injection point.

在伊利诺伊州迪凯特注入二氧化碳的地点,利用井下和地面监测进行联合震源机制反演

伊利诺伊盆地迪凯特项目工地(美国伊利诺斯州迪凯特)的三年二氧化碳注入期产生了许多微地震事件,这些事件分布在非常不同的时空集群中,方向不同。微震性的进一步表征包括确定事件源机制。最初,微地震监测网络仅由井眼传感器组成,但随着地表传感器的使用而扩展,从而显着提高了焦球的数据覆盖范围。本文重点介绍了最北端微地震群(距注入点约2公里)的23个事件,并利用了地面和井下两个记录。由此产生的走向滑动的东西向焦平面都与地图视图中群集的东西向方向一致。与注入有关的孔隙压力增加远低于地层破裂压力;然而,与孔隙压力增加相关的较小的应力场变化可能会达到研究的簇位置。蒙特卡洛模型对该组内的滑移再活化潜能进行了建模,结果表明,观察到的最大应力场方向为N068°,这是东西向断层再活化的最佳方向。我们的结果表明,尽管该集群距低压注入点约2 km,但其被激活的东西向是其激活的主要原因。与注入有关的孔隙压力增加远低于地层破裂压力;然而,与孔隙压力增加相关的较小的应力场变化可能会达到研究的簇位置。蒙特卡洛模型对该组内的滑移再活化潜能进行了建模,结果表明,观察到的最大应力场方向为N068°,这是东西向断层再活化的最佳方向。我们的结果表明,尽管该集群距低压注入点约2 km,但其被激活的东西向是其激活的主要原因。与注入有关的孔隙压力增加远低于地层破裂压力;然而,与孔隙压力增加相关的较小的应力场变化可能会达到研究的簇位置。蒙特卡洛模型对该组内的滑移再活化潜能进行了建模,结果表明,观察到的最大应力场方向为N068°,这是东西向断层再活化的最佳方向。我们的结果表明,尽管该集群距低压注入点约2 km,但其被激活的东西向是其激活的主要原因。蒙特卡洛模型对该组内的滑移再活化潜能进行了建模,结果表明,观察到的最大应力场方向为N068°,这是东西向断层再活化的最佳方向。我们的结果表明,尽管该集群距低压注入点约2 km,但其被激活的东西向是其激活的主要原因。蒙特卡洛模型对该组内的滑移再活化潜能进行了建模,结果表明,观察到的最大应力场方向为N068°,这是东西向断层再活化的最佳方向。我们的结果表明,尽管该集群距低压注入点约2 km,但其被激活的东西向是其激活的主要原因。
