Seam Mining

The main directions of development of seismic monitoring systems in underground mineral mining are analyzed. The expediency of passive registration of natural seismic activity is proved, which provides prediction of geodynamic phenomena by locating the centers of seismic events and determining their energy level. The methods of active seismic monitoring (seismic tomography, cross-borehole survey, recording of seismic signal from a rock-breaking tool) are technically more difficult to implement. The promising methods for processing seismic information are geolocation, neural network technology, cluster analysis, and integration with numerical stress–strain analysis of and changes in acoustic properties of rock mass. The configuration of the platform developed at VNIMI and the GITS seismic monitoring system, which includes from 6 to 12 three-component seismic sensors installed permanently in wells or on pedestals, is described. The detailed layouts of seismic sensors at recording points and in gateways in extraction panels are presented. The main technical characteristics of GITS are given: the signal frequency range is 0.1–1000 Hz, the minimum recorded signal level is 0.01 mV. The main test data of GITS in Komsomolskaya mine of Vorkutaugol are described: the average annual levels of seismic activity and energy of seismic events are found to be relatively stable; the relationship between seismic event with the maximum total energy and the alternating increment in the relative criterion is defined, and the local increase in the average energy of a single event in time from the moment the main roof caving is identified. Aimed to substantiate the regional and local prediction criteria of probability of geodynamic events caused by confining pressure, VNIMI implements integrated research in mines in different regions.

In the last decade Portugal made a significant set of investments in new hydroelectric projects. According the Portuguese Dam Safety Regulation and Supporting Technical Documents, and the seismic risk for the regions where the dams were built, several seismic monitoring systems were implemented. One of the most important projects was the Baixo Sabor hydroelectric scheme which includes two large dams, namely the Baixo Sabor and Feiticeiro dams. These dams are located at northeast of Portugal and are very close to a major geological fault that crosses the Portuguese territory. Considering the seismic risk of the dam’s construction area, a seismic monitoring system was provided. That system incorporates stations in the dam’s galleries and remote stations along the reservoirs to detect eventual induced reservoir seismicity. This system has been in continuous operation and the data of the recorded earthquakes records has been analyzed and processed. This paper presents some aspects of the Portuguese legislation, refers the main studies that were used, presents a brief description of the regional Baixo Sabor geological and tectonic settings, describes the main features of the seismic monitoring system and presents some of the main results obtained during the first period of operation of the dams. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2020-03091603 Full Text: PDF

Detection And Localization

The processes of development of hydrocarbon deposits are accompanied, as a rule, by an increase in the level of seismicity and, in particular, by the occurrence of technogenic earthquakes and other deformation phenomena associated with changes in the geodynamic regime. To monitor deformation and geodynamic processes, a seismic monitoring service should be organized. A similar monitoring system is also required for the analysis of aftershock and volcanic activity. Monitoring technology should be based on the use of reliable and fast methods of automatic detection and localization of seismic events of various scales. Traditional approaches to the detection and localization of earthquake epicenters and hypocenters are based on the analysis of data recorded by one or more single seismic stations. In that case, seismic event coordinates are estimated by means of signal extraction from noise and accurately measuring arrival times of a number of specific phases of the seismic signal at each recording point. Existing computational techniques have inherited this traditional approach. However, automatic procedures based on the ideology of manual processing turn out to be extremely laborious and ineffective due to the complexity of algorithms adequate to the actions of an experienced geophysicist-interpreter. The article contains a description of new approaches to the synthesis of automatic monitoring systems, which are based on the principles of emission tomography, use of spatial registration systems, energy analysis of wave fields and methods of converting real waveforms into low-frequency model signals (so-called filter masks/templates). The monitoring system was successfully tested in the process of detecting and locating the epicenters and hypocenters of 19 weak local earthquakes in Israel, as well as a quarry explosion.
