Dear all,
We are glad to offer the following session at
the next EGU General Assembly (27 April - 2 May 2014):Please consider submitting an abstract.!
SM3.4/ERE5.2
Induced and Triggered Seismicity: Theory and Observations (co-organized)
Convener: Philippe Jousset
Co-Conveners: Roland Gritto, Matteo Lupi
Induced and triggered seismicity are common phenomena associated with
sub-surface exploration and remote seismic events, respectively, and
have been related to hydrocarbon exploration, geothermal exploitation,
open-pit and underground mining operations, CO2 sequestration, and
filling of new water reservoirs. Public awareness and concern of induced
seismicity has become ubiquitous in locations where subsurface
exploration and storage is carried out in close proximity to
communities. Of particular concerns are massive fluid injections for
hydro-fracturing to increase subsurface permeability as well as
long-term injection for the purpose of long-term storage. These concerns
have led to regulations to passively monitor induced seismicity and
consequently to a wealth of continuous seismic data. In contrast to the
increase in data volume, our understanding of the relationship between
exploration techniques and induced seismicity as well as
earthquake-earthquake interactions is still limited. New processing
methods to analyze data and quantitative models to improve our
understanding of the causal relationship between exploration and
seismicity are needed. The current session is intended to provide a
platform to present the latest research and field studies and
theoretical aspects related to induced and triggered seismicity. Topics
to be presented include temporal variations of physical parameters in
reservoirs and natural environments including stress and pressure
changes, spatial-temporal patterns of seismicity, source mechanisms of
micro- or larger scale seismicity, mechanisms for induced events and
seismic interaction, as well as, fracture-induced anisotropy.
Contributions are sought from fundamental and applied research covering
the fields of oil and gas exploration including hydro-fracturing,
geothermal exploitation particularly related to enhanced geothermal
systems, open pit and underground mining, CO2 storage, and other fields
such as volcano-seismology where induced and triggered seismicity is
observed.
