Title: The influence of Preslip Sealing on the Permeability Evolution of Fractures and Faults

Abstract

Abstract The evolution of permeability on fractures and faults during the full earthquake cycle is shown to be sensitive to sealing during the repose phase. We explore the combined effect of static loading followed by fracture reactivation on permeability evolution via slide‐hold‐slide experiments. During the hold periods, permeability exhibits a slow but continuous reduction. The permeability decay is consistent with power law compaction of the aperture coupled with cubic law flow. With increasing hold periods, permeability evolves following reactivation from net reduction to net increase with the magnitude of the permeability change dependent on the hold period. This implies that the tight interlocking of asperities during interseismic repose primes the fault for permeability enhancement following reactivation. The inferred mechanism is via shear dilation with the probable involvement of unclogging. This result identifies that preslip sealing during repose is an essential component in the cyclic permeability evolution throughout the seismic cycle.

Cyclic Permeability Evolution During Repose Then Reactivation of Fractures and Faults

Journal Article Im, Kyungjae ; Elsworth, Derek ; Wang, Chaoyi - Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth

Abstract Cyclic growth and decay of permeability in fractures is explored during repeated reactivation and repose of saw‐cut fractures of Green River shale. These slide‐hold‐slide experiments are supported by measurements of fracture normal deformation and optical surface profilometry. Overall, we observe continuous permeability decay during repose (holds) and significant permeability enhancement during slow reactivation (slide). The permeability decay is accompanied by fault compaction. Both hydraulic aperture change (Δ b _h ) and measured compaction (Δ b _s ) are consistent with time‐dependent power law closure with a power exponent of ~0.2–0.4. These dual compaction magnitudes are positively correlated but Δmore »« less

Geophysical and Mineralogical Controls on the Rheology of Fracture Slip and Seal Breaching (Final Report)

Technical Report Elsworth, Derek ; Peters, Catherine ; Fitts, Jeffrey ; ...

This work explores the geophysical and mineralogical controls on the rheology of fractures and faults to define the modes of permeability evolution and the potential for the breaching of seals for subsurface reservoirs. In particular, the work is arranged to determine the dynamic response of faults to shear reactivation (Parts I-III), their post slip and inter-seismic healing (Parts IV-V), their response to chemically reactive alteration (Parts VI-VII) and then upscaling via digital rock physics models (Parts IIX-XI). The work first defines the principal controls on frictional strength and stability in caprocks and unconventional reservoirs and their consequences for permeability evolutionmore »« less

Competition between preslip and deviatoric stress modulates precursors for laboratory earthquakes

Journal Article Shreedharan, Srisharan ; Bolton, David Chas ; Rivière, Jacques ; ... - Earth and Planetary Science Letters

Variations in elastic wave velocity and amplitude prior to failure have been documented in laboratory experiments as well as in a limited number of crustal earthquakes. These variations have generally been attributed to fault zone healing, changes in crack density, or pore fluid effects modulated dilatation or fault slip. However, the relationships between amplitude and velocity variations during the seismic cycle, and the underlying mechanisms of precursors to failure remain poorly understood. Here, we perform frictional shear experiments and measure the evolution of elastic wave velocity and amplitude throughout the laboratory seismic cycle. We find that elastic amplitudes and velocitiesmore »« less

Permeability Evolution and Frictional Stability of Fabricated Fractures With Specified Roughness

Journal Article Fang, Yi ; Elsworth, Derek ; Ishibashi, Takuya ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth

Roughness is widely observed on natural fractures, and its impact on the potential for induced seismicity and associated fluid migration in the subsurface remains unclear. Here we perform fracture shearing and fluid flow experiments on artificially fabricated fractures with specified roughness to investigate the role of fracture roughness on frictional properties and permeability evolution. Given the experimental conditions, we observe that rough fractures show high roughness ratio S _q/L _w and return higher frictional strength due to the presence of cohesive interlocking asperities. Rough fracture surfaces show velocity strengthening behavior in the initial shearing stage, which may evolve to velocitymore »« less

MINERALOGICAL AND TEXTURAL CONTROLS ON SHEAR STRENGTH, SLIP STABILITY AND PERMEABILITY OF FAULTS

Other Wang, Chaoyi

Induced seismicity resulting from fluid injection into the subsurface related to water and CO2 disposal, hydraulic fracturing and the stimulation of geothermal reservoirs present an important societal concern. These human activities involve the injection of large volumes of pressurized fluid into the subsurface, potentially at high rates, raising local pore pressures and disturbing the pristine local stress regime by lowering effective normal stress on pre-existing faults and fractures. The reduction of effective normal stress may trigger fault/fracture reactivation and in some cases result in hazardous seismic ruptures. Effective management and engineering of anthropogenic seismic events requires substantial understanding in themore »« less
