Storing green energy is therefore a key component in the move towards a carbon-neutral economy. Underground hydrogen storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs may provide an efficient long-term solution. Cyclic injection and production of hydrogen alter the chemo-hydro-mechanical conditions of the reservoir and caprocks, and possible geomechanical consequences of such alterations must be preliminarily assessed for safe storage operations. This study aims at exploring the possible effects of cyclic mechanical loads, such as those that might be induced by hydrogen storage and production, on the mechanical behaviour of a clayey caprock. A series of triaxial tests, both monotonic and cyclic, were carried out on undisturbed samples of a stiff Italian clay cored from a caprock formation overlying a hydrocarbon reservoir. The results show that the material response is characterized by the distinctive stress-strain behaviour of stiff clays, with a rather high fragility, which was found to be highly dependent on the loading strain rate. During laboratory experiments conducted at frequencies larger than in situ ones, cyclic loading under stress control causes a gradual degradation of the material structure leading to the formation of a clear shear band followed by a reduction in shear strength. Eventually, failure occurs as the peak shear strength approaches the applied load. The progressive destructuration also implies a reduction in P- and S-wave propagation velocities and a significant change in the signal shape, which is therefore a promising parameter for monitoring the material degradation process.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56008,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100562"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352380824000297/pdfft?md5=5b4c4db3285232ca4f1afb1f64f06867&pid=1-s2.0-S2352380824000297-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140918463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 2011 Lorca earthquake in southeast Spain is believed to be triggered by long-term groundwater withdrawal, causing slip along the Alhama de Murcia Fault (AMF) dipping northwest. However, the regional InSAR deformation data can be equally fit by AMF and an unmapped fault located approximately 5 km west of AMF and dipping southeast, which creates an ambiguity in the causative fault that hosted the earthquake. Here, we show that the assumptions of elastic dislocation, undrained deformation, and decoupling between flow and deformation processes contributed to the ambiguity, which can be resolved by conducting a fully coupled analysis that provides additional constraints on the problem. We test that hypothesis and propose that the Lorca earthquake was likely caused by the rupture of a southeast dipping fault plane, which is antithetic to AMF. We build a mechanistic model of groundwater withdrawal over the time period of interest (1960–2010) that includes pressure diffusion, aquifer contraction, crustal unloading, and basement expansion mechanisms. The model identifies the difference in pumping-induced loading of the two faults: poroelastic compression and down-dip shear on AMF vs. tension and up-dip shear on the antithetic fault. We demonstrate that two-way coupling between flow and deformation processes plays a crucial role in the natural selection of the earthquake-inducing fault and holds the potential to detect hidden faults in the case of anthropogenic triggering.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56008,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100563"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140880537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Controlled mine water rebound induces changes in the subsurface stress conditions, as pore pressure increases locally. Presently, mine water rebound is observed in the eastern Ruhr Basin (water province “Haus Aden”) along with associated microseismicity. Furthermore, post-mining challenges might comprise the potential risk of fault reactivation, which is addressed in this study by conducting a fault slip assessment. Based on subsurface coal seam mapping data, a 3D structural model for the NE part of the “Haus Aden” water province has been constructed to serve as the basis for identifying the most vulnerable fault trends and types of the structural inventory. Slip tendency analysis, considering normal faulting conditions, revealed NW-SE to NNW-SSE trending normal faults to be most susceptible to reactivation. Probabilistic fault slip assessment, focused on NW-SE to NNW-SSE trending normal faults mapped within the “Heinrich-Robert” colliery, show no fault reactivation potential for a mine water rebound up to a level of 640 m below ground. Assuming hydrostatic conditions in the vicinity of the faults, friction coefficients are only partially exceeded for high differential stresses. In addition, a novel workflow is used to model the spatial variability of the frictional fault strength as input for a fault stability analysis, exemplified for a selected NNW-SSE trending normal fault. For considering hydrostatic pore pressure, results show that the fault consists mainly of stable, but also unstable, horizontally elongated patches. These findings question the conventional simplified approach of using a single constant friction coefficient for fault stability analysis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56008,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100560"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140906096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, we sampled steel and crust surfaces from a steel monopile having been aged for ∼four years in sand.

Evidence have been found that the maximum and critical interface friction angles evolve differently considering the same changes in roughness.

Studies on the soil response to thermal cycles in terms of the generation of thermal-induced volume change and pore water pressure are rare, and relevant research on how these responses might affect soil consolidation parameters and shear strength is very limited. To experimentally investigate the effect of thermal cycling under drained and undrained conditions on the isotropic consolidation parameters and triaxial shear strength of lateritic clay, this paper employs a temperature-controlled triaxial apparatus to conduct a series of isotropic mechanical consolidation and thermal consolidation tests, as well as undrained triaxial shear tests. The thermal response in volume change and pore water pressure are discussed, and the changes in the consolidation parameters, the preconsolidation pressure, and the shear strength are identified. It is concluded that increments of irreversible contraction of lateritic clay are observed during thermal cycling under drained conditions and further lead to a slight increase in the preconsolidation pressure. Nevertheless, thermal cycling hardly affects the swelling and compression index. The shear strength increases after being subjected to thermal cycling under drained conditions, which can be attributed to the increase in cohesion. When drainage is not allowed during thermal cycling, the generation of pore water pressure occurs during temperature variations and completely dissipates after the thermal cycling phase, and its reversibility is unaffected by the stress level and number of cycles. Furthermore, thermal cycling has little effect on the consolidation parameters, preconsolidation pressure, and shear strength.
