Abstract

The paper discusses the basic principles underlying a new approach to the control of seismic activity in tectonic fault zones. A key component of the approach is the use of controlled man-made impacts on highly stressed fault segments. The applicability of the approach was verified in field experiments on seismically active fault segments of the Baikal rift zone and collision structures of Mongolia. The paper reports the most striking examples of applying man-made pulsed vibrational impacts to highly stressed fault segments in combination with controlled fluid injection into deep wells. The results of impacts on the studied fault segments are discussed in the light of new geological data on physicochemical processes in the zones of ancient seismically active faults and recent advances in deep drilling for hydrocarbon exploration and production. A justification is provided for the concept of controlled shear stress relaxation in potentially hazardous fault segments showing the signs of earthquake preparation. The possible implementation of the proposed concept in the near future is discussed.

利用深井振动和注水控制构造断裂带的地震活动

摘要

本文讨论了构造断层带控制地震活动的新方法的基本原理。该方法的关键组成部分是在高应力断层段上使用受控的人为影响。该方法的适用性在贝加尔湖裂谷带地震活动断层段和蒙古的碰撞构造的野外实验中得到了验证。本文报道了最引人注目的实例，其中包括将人为脉冲振动冲击应用于高应力断层段，以及将流体注入深井的控制。结合古地震活动断层带理化过程的新地质数据，以及油气勘探和生产中的深部钻探的最新进展，讨论了对研究断层段影响的结果。为在潜在危险断层中控制剪应力松弛的概念提供了依据，显示了地震预兆的迹象。讨论了在不久的将来提出的概念的可能实现。
