В статье излагаются результаты инженерно-геофизических исследований на территории новой компрессорной станции Специального подземного хранилища газа (СПХГ) в г. Абовян (Армения). Учитывая то, что Республика Армения находится в сейсмоактивной зоне, проведение данных исследований является весьма актуальными, а новая компрессорная станция Специального подземного хранилища газа является особо важным объектом. Целью работы является выявление для данной территории особенности удельного электрического сопротивления грунтов, наличие блуждающих токов (БТ), оценка коррозийной агрессивности грунтов, изучение сейсмических условий и оценка ожидаемой сейсмической интенсивности на территории, намеченной под строительство. Методы работы. Определение удельного (кажущегося) электрического сопротивления грунтов исследуемой территории производилось методом электропрофилирования с использованием симметричной четырехэлектродной установки Веннера. В статье представлены пункты измерения удельного электрического сопротивления грунтов на территории новой компрессорной станции Абовянского СПХГ, выявлено наличие блуждающих токов, приведены таблицы степени коррозионной агрессивности грунтов, указаны места наличия опасного уровня блуждающих токов. Также проведены работы по сейсмическому микрорайонированию для определения величины ожидаемой сейсмической интенсивности конкретной территории компрессорной станции. Ожидаемая сейсмическая интенсивность на данной территории определена на основе анализа инженерно-геологических материалов с учетом результатов полевых инженерно-сейсмометрических инструментальных исследований. С помощью малоглубинной сейсморазведки были определены скорости распространения сейсмических волн. Измерения проводились горизонтально-ориентированным сейсмоприемником СМ-3 (вертикальный удар). Ударные волны создавались импульсным возбуждением. Для обеспечения необходимой мощности возбуждения импульсное воздействие создавалась с помощью падающего груза. Результаты работы. В статье приведены сейсмические условия территории, результаты сейсмометрических исследований,данные по наблюдениям микросейсм, спектры Фурье преобладающих периодов по некоторым точкам наблюдений, схема инженерно-сейсмометрических наблюдений. В результате проведенных исследований установлено, что грунтовые условия данной территории относятся к грунтам первой категории по сейсмическим свойствам. Ожидаемую сейсмическую опасность исследованной территории необходимо характеризовать следующими значениями: I=7 баллов или PGA=0,24 g. The article presents the results of engineering-geophysical studies on the territory of the new compressor station of the Special Underground Gas Storage (SPGS) in the city of Abovyan (Armenia). Considering that the Republic of Armenia is located in a seismically active zone, these studies are highly relevant, and the new compressor station of the Special Underground Gas Storage is especially important object. The Aim of the presented work is to identify the features of the specific electrical resistivity of soils, the presence of stray currents, assess the corrosive aggressiveness of soils, seismic conditions of the territory and the expected seismic intensity in the area designated for construction. Methods. The determination of the specific (apparent) electrical resistivity of the soils of the study area was carried out by the method of electrical profiling using symmetrical four-electrode Wenner setup. The article presents the points of measuring the electrical resistivity of soils in the territory of the new compressor station of the Abovyan SPGS, revealed the presence of stray currents, tables of the degree of corrosiveness of soils are given, the locations of the presence of a dangerous level of stray currents are indicated. Also works on seismic microzoning were carried out, the values of the expected seismic intensity of the compressor station territory were determined. The expected seismic intensity in this area has been determined based on analysis of engineering-geological materials, taking into account the results of field engineering-seismometric instrumental studies. By using shallow seismic surveys have determined the speed of seismic velocity. Measurements were carried out horizontally oriented seismic receiver SM-3 (vertical impact). Shock waves were generated by pulsed excitation. To provide the required excitation power the impulse action was created using a falling weight. Results. The article presents the seismic conditions of the territory, the results of seismometric studies, data on observations of microseisms, Fourier spectra of prevailing periods for some observation points, a scheme of engineering seismometric observations. As a result of the research carried out, it was found that that the soil conditions composing this territory belong to the soils of the first category in terms of seismic properties, the expected seismic hazard of the investigated area should be taken as I = 7 points or PGA = 0.24 g.

The paper considers the territory of the Black Sea coast of North-West Caucasus, to determine the complexity and the degree of variability of the engineering-geological conditions as factors of the degree of a local seismic hazard changing. A complex studying of the territory has been executed, the major engineering-geological factors defining the specifics of microseismic zoning, have been defined. The engineering-geological and seismic properties of the main stratigraphic-genetic complexes and engineering-geological elements have been analyzed. An influence of the soil conditions on seismic intensity has been specified, a calculation of the sizes of an increment of the seismic intensity for the typical conditions by means of a method of seismic rigidities has been executed. An assessment of the spatial variability of the possible sizes of an increment of seismic intensity at the sites with standard geological sections by geostatistical methods has been made. A model of a total size of the increment of the seismic intensity in the explored territory has been developed. It has been established that elements of a rank of engineering-geological subdistricts and sites, which are an analog of seismic microdistricts, are the most uniform in engineering-geological and seismic properties.

With the increasing energy demands of current modern society, underground gas storage (UGS) in gas fields is the most popular type of UGS used to meet the seasonal variation of gas consumption. However, compared with gas fields, UGS in gas fields has the characteristics of periodic high-speed injection and production of exploitation modes and operation rules, which causes the rules of gas-water seepage and utilization of reserves to be more particular and complicated. In this paper, based on Wen 23 gas storage, the rules of multicycle injection and production flow and the utilization of UGS pore volume were investigated. The experimental results showed that variation in porosity and permeability caused by injection and production pressure changes in Wen 23 gas storage can be neglected. The pore volume of gas storage and the degree of gas recovery increased gradually in the pre-UGS gas zone, which was higher than that of reservoirs. In the initial stage of UGS operation, the pore volume of gas storage and the degree of gas recovery were low in the gas-drive-water gas zone as a result of water invasion during the process of reservoir exploitation. During operation of multicycle high-speed injection and production, the seepage conditions in the gas-drive-water gas zone gradually improved. The higher the reservoir permeability, the greater increases in pore volume and degree of gas recovery. In the gas-water transition zone, gas and water were reciprocated and displaced with the multicycle injection-production of UGS, resulting in the gradual deterioration of pore volume and gas recovery, which remained stable at a low value. The negative effects of reservoir heterogeneity on the effective utilization of UGS occurred in the gas-water transition zone. These findings may contribute to a better understanding of the rules of multicycle injection and production flow and utilization of UGS to optimize the injection-production efficiency of Wen 23 gas storage.
