Preliminary evaluation of induced seismicity at the Karkheh dam site in southwest Iran
The reservoir-induced seismicity (RIS) at the Karkheh dam site with a reservoir capacity of about 7.4x109 meters is investigated. Based on the assessment of the seismicity of the dam site in equal time periods before and after reservoir impoundment, it was found that the number of earthquakes have been tripled after impoundment, while their magnitudes and focal depths become smaller. The averag...
متن کاملStatistical Evaluation of Induced Seismicity at the Karkheh Dam, Iran
Karkheh Dam is the largest dam in Iran with a capacity of about 7.4×109 cubic meters and height of 127 meters. Since the first impoundment, increasing in seismic activity in the dam area has been observed that indicates the possible occurrence of reservoir-induced seismicity (RIS).In the present work, a preliminary evaluation is conducted firstly in order to investigate these observations. Base...
متن کاملFluid-injection induced seismicity in the Cooper Basin (Australia): spatial, temporal, and energy characteristics
Induced seismicity has been recognized as a concern in subsurface industrial operation, and particularly at fluid-injection sites in major oil and gas exploitation plays, where hydraulic stimulations are conducted to increase rock permeability. Induced seismicity occurs also in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), where hydraulic fracturing is used to accelerate heat extraction from the rock. If ...
متن کاملObservatoire des Sciences de l ’ Univers de Grenoble
This work focuses on the seismic response of a volcano to different magmatic processes with the aim of sheding light on their driving physics as tracked by seismicity. We study seismic time series recorded at basaltic volcanoes and identify generic seismicity patterns characteristic of (i) inter-eruptive, (ii) reservoir feeding, (iii) reservoir leak, and (iv) dyke injection phases of volcanic a...
متن کاملInvestigation of Injection-induced Seismicity Using a Coupled Fluid Flow and Rate/state Friction Model
This paper describes a numerical investigation of seismicity induced during injection into a single, isolated fracture. A model was developed and used that couples (1) fluid flow and (2) rate and state friction. Rate and state friction theory describes how friction on a fault depends on both sliding velocity and past sliding history. Rate and state friction is used widely in earthquake modeling...
