Abstract:
The ability of fluid-generated subsurface stress changes to trigger earthquakes has long been recognized. However, the dramatic rise in the rate of human-induced earthquakes in the past decade has created abundant opportunities to study induced earthquakes and triggering processes. This review briefly summarizes early studies but focuses on results from induced earthquakes during the past 10 years related to fluid injection in petroleum fields. Study of these earthquakes has resulted in insights into physical processes and has identified knowledge gaps and future research directions. Induced earthquakes are challenging to identify using seismological methods, and faults and reefs strongly modulate spatial and temporal patterns of induced seismicity. However, the similarity of induced and natural seismicity provides an effective tool for studying earthquake processes. With continuing development of energy resources, increased interest in carbon sequestration, and construction of large dams, induced seismicity will continue to pose a hazard in coming years.

Abstract:
Enhanced geothermal systems, shale gas, and geological carbon sequestration all require underground fluid injection in high-pressure conditions. Fluid injection creates fractures, induces seismicity, and has the potential to reactivate nearby faults that can generate a large magnitude earthquake. Mechanisms of fluid injection–induced seismicity and fault reactivation should be better understood to be able to mitigate larger events triggered by fluid injection. This study investigates fluid injection, induced seismicity, and triggering of fault rupture using hydromechanical-coupled discrete element models. Results show that a small amount of fluid pressure perturbation can trigger fault ruptures that are critically oriented and stressed. Induced seismicity by rock failure shows in general higher b-values (slope of magnitude–frequency relation) compared to seismicity triggered by the fault fracture slip. Numerical results closely resemble observations from geothermal and shale-gas fields and demonstrate that discrete element modeling has the potential to be applied in the field as a tool for predicting induced seismicity prior to in situ injection.

Abstract:
As a region with little or very low level background seismicity, the impoundment of the Three Gorges Reservoir in June 2003 was related to increasing reservoir-induced seismicity. Analysis of the spatial pattern of seismicity showed that a majority of the seismicity was associated with the heavily fractured, deep crustal Jiuwanxi Fault, especially in regions of permeable Carbonate rocks formations. Analysis of the temporal pattern of the seismicity and a comparison with the filling history of the reservoir showed that the frequency and intensity of induced seismicity started at low level accompanying the impoundment of the Three Gorges Reservoir, and then increased with the increasing of water level and decreased thereafter. The amplitude of fluctuation of water level was found to be related to the frequency and intensity of induced seismicity. The pore pressure diffusion plays an important role in reservoir induced seismicity.

Abstract:
Industrial activity away from plate boundaries can induce earthquakes and has evolved into a global issue. Much of the induced seismicity in the United States' midcontinent is attributed to a direct pressure increase from deep wastewater disposal. This mechanism is not applicable where deep basement faults are hydraulically isolated from shallow injection aquifers, leading to a debate about the mechanisms for induced seismicity. Here, we compile industrial, seismic, geodetic, and geological data within the Delaware Basin, western Texas, and calculate stress and pressure changes at seismogenic depth using a coupled poroelastic model. We show that the widespread deep seismicity is mainly driven by shallow wastewater injection through the transmission of poroelastic stresses assuming that unfractured shales are hydraulic barriers over decadal time scales. A zone of seismic quiescence to the north, where injection-induced stress changes would promote seismicity, suggests a regional tectonic control on the occurrence of induced earthquakes. Comparing the poroelastic responses from injection and extraction operations, we find that the basement stress is most sensitive to shallow reservoir hydrogeological parameters, particularly hydraulic diffusivity. These results demonstrate that intraplate seismicity can be caused by shallow human activities that poroelastically perturb stresses at hydraulically isolated seismogenic depths, with impacts on seismicity that are preconditioned by regional tectonics.

Abstract:
Abstract. The standard paradigm to describe seismicity induced by fluid injection is to apply nonlinear diffusion dynamics in a poroelastic medium. I show that the spatiotemporal behaviour and rate evolution of induced seismicity can, instead, be expressed by geometric operations on a static stress field produced by volume change at depth. I obtain laws similar in form to the ones derived from poroelasticity while requiring a lower description length. Although fluid flow is known to occur in the ground, it is not pertinent to the behaviour of induced seismicity. The proposed model is equivalent to the static stress model for tectonic foreshocks generated by the Non-Critical Precursory Accelerating Seismicity Theory. This study hence verifies the explanatory power of this theory outside of its original scope.

Abstract:
Abstract. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a borehole stimulation technique used to enhance permeability in geological resource management, including the extraction of shale gas. The process of hydraulic fracturing can induce seismicity. The potential to induce seismicity is a topic of widespread interest and public concern, particularly in the UK where seismicity induced by hydraulic fracturing has halted shale gas operations and triggered moratoria. Prior to 2018, there seemed to be a disconnect between the conclusions of expert groups about the risk of adverse impacts from hydraulic-fracturing-induced seismicity and the reported level of public concern about hydraulic fracturing induced seismicity. Furthermore, a range of terminology was used to describe the induced seismicity (including tremors, earthquakes, seismic events, and micro-earthquakes) which could indicate the level of perceived risk. Using the UK as a case study, we examine the conclusions of expert-led public-facing reports on the risk (likelihood and impact) of seismicity induced by hydraulic fracturing for shale gas published between 2012 and 2018 and the terminology used in these reports. We compare these to results from studies conducted in the same time period that explored views of the UK public on hydraulic fracturing and seismicity. Furthermore, we surveyed participants at professional and public events on shale gas held throughout 2014 asking the same question that was used in a series of surveys of the UK public in the period 2012–2016, i.e. “do you associate shale gas with earthquakes?”. We asked our participants to provide the reasoning for the answer they gave. By examining the rationale provided for their answers, we find that an apparent polarisation of views amongst experts was actually the result of different interpretations of the language used to describe seismicity. Responses are confounded by the ambiguity of the language around earthquake risk, magnitude, and scale. We find that different terms are used in the survey responses to describe earthquakes, often in an attempt to express the risk (magnitude, shaking, and potential for adverse impact) presented by the earthquake, but that these terms are poorly defined and ambiguous and do not translate into everyday language usage. Such “bad language” around fracking has led to challenges in understanding, perceiving, and communicating risks around hydraulic-fracturing-induced seismicity. We call for multi-method approaches to understand the perceived risks around geoenergy resources and suggest that developing and adopting a shared language framework to describe earthquakes would alleviate miscommunication and misperceptions. Our findings are relevant to any applications that present – or are perceived to present – the risk of induced seismicity. More broadly, our work is relevant to any topics of public interest where language ambiguities muddle risk communication.

The main goal of the thesis is to characterize the attributes of conventional and unconventional reservoirs through passive seismicity. The dissertation is comprised of the development and applications of three new methods, each of which focuses on a different aspect of fractures/faults and the resulting seismicity. In general, the thesis work discusses reservoir characterization from two aspects: 1) understanding fractures and faults in reservoirs as seismic sources with induced seismicity, and then inferring other properties of the reservoirs, such as stress regime and velocity structure (Chapters 2, 3, 4); 2) understanding the fractures in reservoirs as seismic scatterers (Chapter 5). First, I introduce a new method to determine the source mechanisms of the induced earthquakes by incorporating high frequency waveform matching, first P-arrival polarities and average S/P amplitude ratios. The method is applied to 40 induced earthquakes from an oil/gas field in Oman monitored by a sparse near-surface seismic network and a deep borehole seismic network. The majority of the events have a strike direction parallel with the major NE-SW faults in the region, and some events trend parallel with the NW-SE conjugate faults. The results are consistent with the in-situ well breakout measurements and the current knowledge of the stress direction of this region. The source mechanisms of the studied events together with the hypocenter distribution indicate that the microearthquakes are caused by the reactivation of preexisting faults. Then I introduce a new method to locate microseismic events induced by hydraulic fracturing with simultaneous anisotropic velocity inversion using differential arrival times and differential back azimuths. We derive analytical sensitivities for the elastic moduli (Cij) and layer thickness L for the anisotropic velocity inversion. The method is then applied to a microseismic dataset monitoring a Middle Bakken completion in the Beaver Lodge area of North Dakota. Our results show: 1) moderate-to-strong anisotropy exists in all studied sedimentary layers, especially in both the Upper Bakken and Lower Bakken shale formations, where the Thomsen parameters (E and y) can be over 40%; 2) all events selected for high signal-to-noise ratio and used for the joint velocity inversion are located in the Bakken and overlying Lodgepole formations, i.e., no strong events are located in the Three Forks formation below the Bakken; 3) more than half of the strong events are in two clusters at about 100 and 150 meters above the Middle Bakken. Re-occurrence of strong, closely clustered events suggests activation of natural fractures or faults in the Lodgepole formation. Finally, I introduce a new hybrid method to model the shear (SH) wave scattering from arbitrarily shaped fractures embedded in a heterogeneous medium by coupling the boundary element method (BEM) and the finite difference method (FDM) in the frequency domain. The hybrid method can calculate scattering from arbitrarily shaped fractures very rapidly, thus Monte Carlo simulations for characterizing the statistics of fracture attributes can be performed efficiently. The advantages of the hybrid method are demonstrated by modeling waves scattered from tilted fractures embedded in complex media. Interesting behaviors of the scattered waves, such as frequency shift with the scattering order and coherent pattern of scattered waves through strong heterogeneities, are observed. This method can be used to analyze and interpret the scattered coda waves in the microseismic observations, e.g., the reverberating multiples in the Bakken microseismic data which cannot be explained by the determined layered anisotropic velocity model alone.

Abstract:
Induced seismicity is a common phenomenon that occurs as soon as the stress state in the subsurface is externally altered in a way that faults are destabilized. It is especially problematic in stable tectonic regions where the area is not used to earthquakes; the infrastructure is not built to withstand ground movement and thus when the induced seismicity occurs damage can follow. In this thesis, mining-induced seismicity has been studied at the Dannemora mine, located in central Sweden, with the aim to locate the seismicity and gain understanding of its occurrence and behavior. The mining company, Dannemora Mineral AB, provided with blasting locations and times, as well as maps over the mine's orebodies and stopes. Seismic data acquired between 01 July 2014 - 25 March 2015 from 4 temporary seismic stations, deployed in the summer of 2014 surrounding the mine, along with 8 SNSN stations was analyzed. The project encompassed field work and processing of the data, which involved different methods to investigate the characteristics of the mine's seismicity: Statistics were kept to record the activity rate of the seismicity over time; spectral analysis was used to study the frequency content of the seismicity; particle motion plots were constructed to identify body-phases in the seismicity; Local Earthquake Tomography was used to upgrade the velocity model of the mine and to relocate the induced seismicity with more accuracy; cross-correlation was used to find events originating from similar sources; and finally, magnitude analysis was used to compare the different types of seismicity within the mine. Three main types of induced events were observed in the mine: low-frequency events with clear first arrivals, emergent events with long duration, and high-frequency events that could either have clear first arrivals or emergent-like with long durations. Through the analysis of their characteristics, they were linked to different types of rockbursts. The low-frequency events were linked to both reactivation of fault zones triggered by the mine activity, and rockbursts within the mine directly related to the mining. The emergent and high-frequency events were also linked to rockbursts directly related to the mine activity, e.g. ejection of rock from the tunnel walls or arch collapses in stopes.

Earthquakes and other seismic events are known to have catastrophic effects on people and property. These large-scale events are almost always preceded by smallerscale seismic events called precursors, such as tremors or other vibrations. The use of precursor data to predict the realization of seismic hazards has been a long-standing technical problem in different disciplines. For example, blasting or other mining activities have the potential to induce the collapse of rock surfaces, or the occurrence of other dangerous seismic events in large volumes of rock. In this study, seismic data (T4) obtained from a mining concern in South Africa were considered using a nonlinear time series approach. In particular, the method of surrogate analysis was used to characterize the deterministic structure in the data, prior to fitting a predictive model. The seismic data set (T4) is a set of seismic events for a small volume of rock in a mine observed over a period of 12 days. The surrogate data were generated to have structure similar to that of T4 according to some basic seismic laws. In particular, the surrogate data sets were generated to have the same autocorrelation structure and amplitude distributions of the underlying data set T4. The surrogate data derived from T4 allow for the assessment of some basic hypotheses regarding both types of data sets. The structure in both types of data (i.e. the relationship between the past behavior and the future realization of components) was investigated by means of three test statistics, each of which provided partial information on the structure in the data. The first is the average mutual information between the reconstructed past and futures states of T4. The second is a correlation dimension estimate, Dc which gives an indication of the deterministic structure (predictability) of the reconstructed states of T4. The final statistic is the correlation coefficients which gives an indication of the predictability of the future behavior of T4 based on the past states of T4. The past states of T4 was reconstructed by reducing the dimension of a delay coordinate embedding of the components of T4. The map from past states to future realization of T4 values was estimated using Long Short-Term Recurrent Memory (LSTM) neural networks. The application of LSTM Recurrent Neural Networks on point processes has not been reported before in literature. Comparison of the stochastic surrogate data with the measured structure in the T4 data set showed that the structure in T4 differed significantly from that of the surrogate data sets. However, the relationship between the past states and the future realization of components for both T4 and surrogate data did not appear to be deterministic. The application of LSTM in the modeling of T4 shows that the approach could model point processes at least as well or even better than previously reported applications on time series data.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis we give an overview of self-organised criticality and its application to studying seismicity. We recall some of the basic models and techniques for studying self-organised critical systems. We discuss one of these, the sandpile model, in detail and show how various properties of the model can be calculated using a matrix formulation thereof. A correspondence between self-organised critical systems and seismicity is then proposed. Finally, we consider the timeevolution of the sandpile model by using a time-to-failure analysis, originally developed in the study of seismicity and obtain results for the sandpile model that show similarities with that of the analyses of seismic data.

Since 1998, a producing oil field in Oman has been experiencing microearthquake activity. The aim of this project is to compare numerical models of wave propagation using simple source representations to a small subset of these microearthquakes, with three goals in mind: 1) to understand whether the microearthquakes are generated by movement along a known fault system in the field, or by some other mechanism; 2) if the source is fault related, to better understand what kind of movement is occurring on the fault; and 3) to see if this simple modeling method provides useful results, and forms a basis for future work. Synthetic waveforms are generated using a one-dimensional, discrete wavenumber numerical model (Bouchon, 1980) with two simple source representations: an explosive point source and a vertical force. Comparison of the synthetic waveforms to the microearthquake data indicates that the vertical force results in a better match than the explosive point source. In addition, a simple model consisting of the superposition of four vertical forces (representing vertical fault rupture), results in waveforms that are very similar to the recorded events. These results suggest that the source of the microearthquakes is motion along a near-vertical normal fault system that has been mapped in the field. These results are also consistent with work by Sze and Toksoz (2001) in which relocation of the same events imaged a near-vertical normal fault in the field. Further work using fault rupture source modeling may provide additional insight into the amount of fault motion that is occurring in relation to these events.

On January 12, 2015, a magnitude 3.1 mainshock occurred in Plainfield, Connecticut near Wauregan Tilcon Quarry, causing modified Mercalli II-IV intensities. Shortly after the event, a team from Weston Observatory installed portable seismographs in the epicentral area. The portable array detected hundreds of small earthquakes from around the quarry, with 26 events that were accurately located. P-wave first motion directions obtained from readings of the mainshock suggest a thrusting focal mechanism on a NNE-SSW trending fault. In this research, we collected 113 gravity measurements in the proximity of the quarry to verify and correct local fault geometry proposed by historic aeromagnetic and geologic mapping. Interpretations of the computed simple Bouguer anomaly are consistent with historic mapping, with a few exceptions. The gravity survey constrains a NNE-SSW trending fault that dips west underneath the quarry, inferred to be the Lake Char-Honey Hill Fault, and reduces ambiguity in the position of an undefined ESE-WNW trending fault, which appears to be on strike to intersect the quarry. A 3D boundary element program (3D~Def) is used to simulate quarry-induced stress changes on these faults in order to analyze the possibility of inducing seismicity through crustal unloading in the region. Quarry operations resulted in the removal of mass from the crust, which decreased lithostatic load. In a setting confined by a maximum horizontal compressional stress, decreasing the lithostatic load, orminimum principal stress (σ3), shifts a Mohr-Coulomb diagram toward failure. The boundary element model shows that following the excavation of materials at the quarry, positive Coulomb failure stress changes occur on the west dipping Lake Char-Honey Hill Fault. In agreement with past studies, our results suggest that quarrying operations can trigger seismic activity in specific settings with stress regime, fault orientations, and rock characteristics such as those that exist in the northeastern U.S. In order to mitigate the risk for future earthquakes related to quarrying operations, these factors must be considered before operations begin

This thesis presents methods of analysis and results from a petroleum reservoir monitoring application using induced seismicity data. The dissertation work is comprised of four major studies, each focusing on a different aspect of induced seismicity. First, methods and issues in location of induced seismicity are discussed, and strategies are proposed for determining accurate hypocenters of induced events. The importance of velocity model and how it impacts the depth determination of reservoir-induced events are demonstrated with real field data. A location method that is better-suited than other existing methods for this application is proposed. The accuracy and efficiency of this proposed location method is demonstrated with field data application.Secondly, event locations and interpretations are presented for about 1300 induced events recorded by a near-surface network over a seven year period at a petroleum field in Oman. The event hypocenters delineate two major northeast-southwest striking faults in the field, which are consistent with fault maps derived from reflection seismic interpretations. Spatiotemporal analysis of induced event locations reveals ongoing large scale fault reactivation in the field, and also suggests compaction of the gas reservoir as the major cause and water injection in the oil reservoir as the secondary cause for inducing seismicity in the field.Thirdly, event locations and interpretations are presented for a different set of induced seismicity data recorded by a deep-borehole network over an 11-month period at the same field. About 5400 events are located and analyzed, and detailed mapping of faults and fractures using the event hypocenters are presented.
(cont.) Patterns of seismicity also reveal faults and fracture systems previously unmapped by reflection seismic. While this dataset allows for much finer interpretation, the results between the two network data are found to be consistent and comparable.Finally, the double-difference relocation and tomography method is applied for event relocation and imaging of the reservoir. Better correlation of relocated events with faults is observed from application of this method to the surface-network events, and detailed velocity and structure images for the reservoir are obtained from application of tomography with the deep network events.
