摘要

水力压裂(HF)是一种从不透水的储集岩中提取石油资源的技术。在此过程中,在高压下注入的流体导致裂缝扩展。这项技术为油气行业带来了变革,释放了原本被困的资源;然而,环境问题使氢氟酸备受争议。一个担忧是高频诱发的地震活动,因为高压下驱动的流体也有可能重新激活断层。这些由高频引起的地震不可避免地引发了争议,其中一个极端是地面震动造成的经济和人员损失,另一个极端是资源开发的暂停。在这里,我们回顾了这类诱发地震活动的知识状况。我们首先介绍HF的基本背景信息以及迄今为止发表的诱发地震病例的概述。在此基础上,我们综合了共同的主题,并解释了这些共性的起源,包括反复发生的地震群、靠近井眼、对刺激的快速反应以及报告病例的缺乏。接下来,我们将讨论从这些共性中自然产生的未解决的问题,从而引出潜在的研究主题:对案例的一致识别、提出的触发机制、地质易感条件、操作控制的识别、有效的缓解措施以及科学知情的监管管理。高频诱发的地震活动性为更好地理解和管理地震破裂过程提供了独特的机会;总的来说,了解高频诱发的地震对于避免任何方向的极端反应都很重要。

Hydraulic Fracturing-Induced Seismicity

Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is a technique that is used for extracting petroleum resources from impermeable host rocks. In this process, fluid injected under high pressure causes fractures to propagate. This technique has been transformative for the hydrocarbon industry, unlocking otherwise stranded resources; however, environmental concerns make HF controversial. One concern is HF-induced seismicity, since fluids driven under high pressure also have the potential to reactivate faults. Controversy has inevitably followed these HF-induced earthquakes, with economic and human losses from ground shaking at one extreme and moratoriums on resource development at the other. Here, we review the state of knowledge of this category of induced seismicity. We first cover essential background information on HF along with an overview of published induced earthquake cases to date. Expanding on this, we synthesize the common themes and interpret the origin of these commonalities, which include recurrent earthquake swarms, proximity to well bore, rapid response to stimulation, and a paucity of reported cases. Next, we discuss the unanswered questions that naturally arise from these commonalities, leading to potential research themes: consistent recognition of cases, proposed triggering mechanisms, geologically susceptible conditions, identification of operational controls, effective mitigation efforts, and science-informed regulatory management. HF-induced seismicity provides a unique opportunity to better understand and manage earthquake rupture processes; overall, understanding HF-induced earthquakes is important in order to avoid extreme reactions in either direction.
