Presentation plan

Topics currently realized by IGF PAS within WP4:

1. Seismic interferometry for monitoring of S-wave velocity changes in the reservoir due to fluid injection.

2. Multi-dimensional clustering in equivalent dimensions for identification of physical processes controlling seismogenesis.

3. Static stress drop distribution and its application in seismic hazard assessment.

1. Seismic interferometry Goal: use of ambient seismic noise for monitoring of S-wave velocity changes due to hydraulic fracturing at Wysin site

Small velocity perturbations from correlations of seismic noise can be a useful tool for studying the contiuous time evolution of stress regime in the vicinity of seismogenic faults.

1. Seismic interferometry It has been observed that changes in seismic activity correlate well with seismic

velocity changes.

Brenguier et al., 2008

predict change in seismic activity / track dynamic changes in the medium due to hydraulic fracturing

1. Seismic interferometry S-wave velocity will be determined on the basis of Rayleigh wave dispersion curve

determined from cross-correlation functions

5

Rayleigh wave dispersion curve determined from cross-correlation functions for KUHL-BETS station pair at Soultz-

sous-forets site (Lehujeur et al., 2015).

Theoretical dispersion curve for Wysin site determined on the basis of geological structure information.

Dispersion curve obtained from cross-correlations will be compared with theoretical one in order to get the most

reliable velocity information.

Frequency

1. Seismic interferometry Four additional broadband seismic stations (NPH1-NPH4) has been installed in

the Wysin area in order to record ambient seismic noise.

Current stage of research:

installation of additional broadband stations finished

preparation of tools to deal with big sets of data for cross-correlation in progress.

2. Multi-dimensional clustering

Goal: use of multi-dimensional clustering in equivalent dimensions for identification of physical processes controlling seismogenesis at The Geysers geothermal site

The analysis is perfomed using methodology proposed by Lasocki (2014):

transformation of multi-dimensional dataset into equivalent dimensions

identification of clusters using Ward’s hierarchical method (Ward, 1963)

Kwiatek et al., 2015 Relocated catalogue (1254 events) (Kwiatek et al., 2015)

Time range: Dec 2007 – Apr 2014 Completeness magnitude: MC = 1.4

• 353 events with calculated spectral parameters

2. Multi-dimensional clustering

Does events closely clustered in XYZ space

reveal the same connection in 7-D space?

Dataset analysed comprises 353 events and the parameters that are taken into consideration are:

Hypocentral coordinates (X, Y, Z)

Origin Time (T)

Seismic Moment (M0)

Stress drop (Sd)

Source Radius (R)

1. TED in 3-parameter space (X,Y,Z) – Selection of clusters (C3j) with the smallest LDs.

2. TED in 7-parameter space (X,Y,Z,T,M0,Ds,r0).

3. Determine the linkage distance (LD) of events from C3j clusters in 7-parameter space.

Consideration of source parameters seem to introduce a considerable influence on clustering.

3. Static stress drop distribution

Goal: verification of the possibility to use static stress drop distribution for seismic hazard assessment at The Geysers geothermal site

Idea: static stress drop distribution determines the occurence of induced seismic events in the regions of fluid injection

13 Goertz-Allmann et al., 2011

Observation: increase of static stress drop with radial distance from injection well (with radial distance 10-300m stress drop changes by a factor of ca 5)

stress drop correlates with pore pressure perturbations

due to injection
