Insufficient contrast of radon-222 anomalies is explained by methodological errors during observations by seismic radon stations. Thoron behavior during the earthquake preparation process is consistent with the previously established spatiotemporal patterns for radon-222 (Kozlova et al., 2021). When using gases that are part of the subsurface atmosphere, radon isotopes are the most suitable for earthquake preparation process monitoring observations. The prospect of using other gases is limited by the absence of sources of their constant generation, the presence of a cumulative effect, and the complexity in detecting them.

The operation principle of a reactive damper involves creating an alternating reactive force to prevent relative (bending) displacements (vibratory displacements) of a structure at target time instants. Several ways of creating a reactive jet (reactive forced action on a mechanical system) are shown: a reactive fluid jet ejected under high pressure; a reactive gas jet flowing under high pressure; a reactive jet from a burning fuel.

The purpose of this study was to briefly demonstrate the results of applying the method of statistical-correlation interpretation of geophysical well-logging data to search for implicitly missed low resistivity oil and gas reservoirs. Method. This paper briefly describes the method of statistical-correlation analysis of well-logging data. It presents the theoretical physicochemical and formal-logical justifications of this interpretation. This approach is based on the principles of correlation of measured and calculated geophysical and petrophysical parameters of the investigated sand interval, which vary along the well section. These changes are caused by dominant geochemical processes of superimposed epigenesis in a certain local interval in the deep fluid penetration area. The product of the approximation coefficient and the statistical interval parameter for two samples of measured parameters corresponds to the statistical intensity of transformation processes within sand intervals. By using the method of statistical-correlation interpretation of well logs for sandy formations based on a standard set of geophysical well-logging data it is possible to determine the intensity of secondary processes such as pyritization, kaolinitization, pelitization, carbonatization, and the formation of a double electric layer in clays. These processes may cause an implicit decrease in the electrical resistivity of the rock. Certain boundary values of the intensity of these secondary processes can serve as an indicator of the presence of hydrocarbons in these formations. Results. The validity of the statistical-correlation method for interpreting well-logging data was confirmed when comparing the calculation results of the intensity of transformation processes with the results of petrographic core analysis. By determining the intensity of mineral transformation processes that affect the increase in the surface electrical conductivity of sandy rocks in the Nizhneluginetskaya well, Jurassic low-resistivity promising reservoirs were identified. The oil potential of these reservoirs was confirmed by the results of core alcohol–benzene extraction. In the Vakh field, the results of identifying promising Cretaceous reservoirs based on the statistical-correlation interpretation of geophysical well-logging data were confirmed by formation tests. Oil was obtained from the previously missed sandy interval. At the same time, secondary carbonatization was an indicator of the presence of hydrocarbons with a probability of 80%. Conclusions.

The article presents a method to solve problems related to static interaction of a system of coating plates and an elastic substrate. In this model, the equations for displacements of the front surface and contact stresses are based on the solutions to the matrix-function Wiener–Hopf equations to which the initial problem is reduced. A specific feature of the equations is unknown functionals of the solution and its derivative on their right-hand sides, which are determined from a system of linear algebraic equations. This approach makes it possible to determine all basic characteristics of the stress–strain state of a block structure formed by two contacting plates on a deformable base. In addition to the static problem arising in the study of factors affecting stress–strain properties of the geological structures, the article also considers the problem of long-period steady-state oscillations of the coating–substrate system.

The calculated Fresnel volume is given for various relative positions of sources and receivers. It is concluded that the projection of the Fresnel volume of head waves onto the plane of the high-velocity refractive layer can be obtained by drifting the source and receiver points along the normal to this layer.

The need for developing this methodology is explained by the lack of recommendations in regulatory documents regarding the selection of the most appropriate method to forecast dynamic phenomena for specific conditions. This selection should be carried out by the relevant departments of coal-mining companies independently or with the help of scientific teams. Two portable devices for local prediction of rock bumps were chosen for the research: the Angel-M and Ripas devices, which implement the electromagnetic pulse method and a specific modification of the method based on parameters of artificial acoustic signals, respectively. The more reliable instrumental method based on the drilling fines yield was used as the reference one. It was assumed that the hazard level of the rock mass is the same when making predictions using the geophysical and instrumental methods. It can be quantitatively estimated as a ratio of the current value of the measured parameter to its threshold value. The reliability of the predictions made with portable devices was assessed by the correspondence of this ratio to the similar one calculated for the instrumental method. Testing of the proposed methodology at one of the Kuzbass coal mines showed insufficient reliability of predictions made using portable geophysical devices. This is probably explained by the following reasons: each of the devices does not control all of the key hazard factors of dynamic phenomena; there is no justification of the relationship between the hazard of the dynamic phenomena and the parameters controlled by the devices; when using the Ripas device, the geophone is pressed against the wall of the mine workings, so the fracturing within the near-wall rock mass significantly distorts the spectrum of the sounding acoustic signal.</p>","PeriodicalId":45174,"journal":{"name":"Seismic Instruments","volume":"61 5","pages":"380 - 386"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145792259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conducted research has shown that the amplitude characteristics of the electromagnetic response to pulsed acoustic impact depend significantly on the electrical conductivity of the rock. Conclusions. The results we obtained allow us to draw the following conclusions. First, the stochastic combination of capacitive elements (“capacitors”), taking their oscillations in the seismic wave field into account, can lead to an increase in the overall potential (the effect of averaging the potential multiplier). Second, under shock wave impact, it is necessary to replace the temperature (<i>T</i>) in the models with the effective temperature. This substitution can increase the calculated values of the effective charge by several orders of magnitude and consequently, the intensity of electromagnetic radiation (EMR).
