This study investigates the spatiotemporal evolution of the collapse mechanisms of the cavern in the Yebatan Hydropower Station through using microseismic (MS) monitoring and displacement measurements. We developed a multi-parameter deformation early warning model that integrates three critical indicators: deformation rate, rate increment, and tangential angle of the deformation time curve. The results of the early warning model show a significant and abrupt increase in the deformation of the rock mass during the collapse process. The safety and stability of the local cavern in the face of excavation-induced disturbances are meticulously assessed utilizing MS data. Spatiotemporal analysis of the MS monitoring indicates a high frequency of MS events during the blasting phase, with a notable clustering of these events in the vicinity of the fault. These research results provide a valuable reference for risk warnings and stability assessments in the fault development zones of analogous caverns.展开更多

This paper proposes a MS source location method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and multi-sensor arrays, where a free weight joints the P-wave first arrival data. This method adaptively adjusts the preference for “superior” arrays and leverages “inferior” arrays to escape local optima, thereby improving the location accuracy. The effectiveness and stability of this method were validated through synthetic tests, pencil-lead break (PLB) experiments, and mining engineering applications. Specifically, for synthetic tests with 1 μs Gaussian noise and 100 μs large noise in rock samples, the location error of the multi-sensor arrays jointed location method is only 0.30 cm, which improves location accuracy by 97.51% compared to that using a single sensor array. The average location error of PLB events on three surfaces of a rock sample is reduced by 48.95%, 26.40%, and 55.84%, respectively. For mine blast event tests, the average location error of the dual sensor arrays jointed method is 62.74 m, 54.32% and 14.29% lower than that using only sensor arrays 1 and 2, respectively. In summary, the proposed multi-sensor arrays jointed location method demonstrates good noise resistance, stability, and accuracy, providing a compelling new solution for MS location in relevant mining scenarios.展开更多

The results show that short-period double- frequency (SPDF) and long-period double-frequency (LPDF) microseisms exhibit significant alternating trends of strengthening and weakening in the northwest area of the Bohai Sea. SPDF microseisms are generated by irregular wind waves during strong off shore wind periods, with a broad frequency band distributed in the range of 0.2-1 Hz;LPDF microseisms are generated by regular swells during periods of sea wind weakening, with a narrow frequency band concentrated between 0.15 and 0.3 Hz. In terms of temporal dimensions, as the sea wind weakens, the energy of SPDF microseisms weakens, and the dominant frequencies increase, whereas the energy of LPDF microseisms strengthens and the dominant frequencies decrease, which is consistent with the process of the decay of wind waves and the growth of swells. In terms of spatial dimensions, as the microseisms propagate inland areas, the advantageous frequency band and energy of SPDF microseisms are reduced and significantly attenuated, respectively, whereas LPDF microseisms show no significant changes. And during the propagation process in high-elevation areas, LPDF microseisms exhibit a certain site amplifi cation eff ect when the energy is strong. The results provide important supplements to the basic theory of secondary microseisms, preliminarily reveal the relationship between the atmosphere, ocean, and seismic noise, and provide important theoretical references for conducting geological and oceanographic research based on the characteristics of secondary microseisms.展开更多

The observed data from microseismic monitoring during mining are represented by a wave equation in a spherical coordinate system and then the data are transformed from the time-space domain to the time-slowness domain based on tomographic principle, from whichwe can obtain the signals related to the source in the time-slowness domain. Through analyzing the relationship between the signal located at the maximum energy and the source function, we derive the tomographic equations to compute the source function from the signals and to calculate the effective radiated energy based on the source function. Moreover, we fit the real amplitude spectrum of the source function computed from the observed data into the co-2 model based on the least squares principle and determine the zero-frequency level spectrum and the corner frequency, finally, the source rupture radius of the event is calculated and The synthetic and field examples demonstrate that the proposed tomographic inversion methods are reliable and efficient展开更多

文摘Microseismic monitoring is essential for understanding subsurface dynamics and optimizing oil and gas pro-duction.However,traditional methods for the automatic detection of microseismic events rely heavily on characteristic functions and human intervention,often resulting in suboptimal performance when dealing with complex and noisy data.In this study,we propose a novel approach that leverages deep learning frame to extract multiscale features from microseismic data using a TransUNet neural network.Our model integrates the ad-vantages of Transformer and UNet architectures to achieve high accuracy in multivariate image segmentation and precise picking of P-wave and S-wave first arrivals simultaneously.We validate our approach using both synthetic and field microseismic datasets recorded from gas storage monitoring and roof fracturing in a coal seam.The robustness of the proposed method has been verified in the testing of synthetic data with various levels of Gaussian and real background noises extracted from field data.The comparisons of the proposed method with UNet and SwinUNet in terms of the model architecture and classification performance demonstrate the Tran-sUNet achieves the optimal balance in its architecture and inference speed.With relatively low inference time and network complexity,it operates effectively in high-precision microseismic phase pickings.This advancement holds significant promise for enhancing microseismic monitoring technology in hydraulic fracturing and reser-voir monitoring applications.

文摘The collapse of rock masses in fault-developed zones poses significant safety challenges during the excavation of high-stress underground caverns. This study investigates the spatiotemporal evolution of the collapse mechanisms of the cavern in the Yebatan Hydropower Station through using microseismic (MS) monitoring and displacement measurements. We developed a multi-parameter deformation early warning model that integrates three critical indicators: deformation rate, rate increment, and tangential angle of the deformation time curve. The results of the early warning model show a significant and abrupt increase in the deformation of the rock mass during the collapse process. The safety and stability of the local cavern in the face of excavation-induced disturbances are meticulously assessed utilizing MS data. Spatiotemporal analysis of the MS monitoring indicates a high frequency of MS events during the blasting phase, with a notable clustering of these events in the vicinity of the fault. These research results provide a valuable reference for risk warnings and stability assessments in the fault development zones of analogous caverns.

文摘Seismic source locations can characterize the spatial and temporal distributions of seismic sources,and can provide important basic data for earthquake disaster monitoring,fault activity characterization,and fracture growth interpretation.Waveform stacking-based location methods invert the source locations by focusing the source energy with multichannel waveforms,and these methods exhibit a high level of automation and noise-resistance.Taking the cross-correlation stacking(CCS)method as an example,this work attempts to study the influential factors of waveform stacking-based methods,and introduces a comprehensive performance evaluation scheme based on multiple parameters and indicators.The waveform data are from field monitoring of induced microseismicity in the Changning region(southern Sichuan Basin of China).Synthetic and field data tests reveal the impacts of three categories of factors on waveform stacking-based location:velocity model,monitoring array,and waveform complexity.The location performance is evaluated and further improved in terms of the source imaging resolution and location error.Denser array monitoring contributes to better constraining source depth and location reliability,but the combined impact of multiple factors,such as velocity model uncertainty and multiple seismic phases,increases the complexity of locating field microseismic events.Finally,the aspects of location uncertainty,phase detection,and artificial intelligencebased location are discussed.

文摘With the continuous expansion of deep underground engineering and the growing demand for safety monitoring,microseismic monitoring has become a core method for early warning of rock mass fracture and engineering stability assessment.To address problems in existing methods,such as low data processing efficiency and poor phase recognition accuracy under low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)conditions in complex geological environments,this study proposes an intelligent phase picking model based on ResUNet.The model integrates the residual learning mechanism of ResNet with the multi-scale feature extraction capability of UNet,effectively mitigating the vanishing gradient problem in deep networks.It also achieves cross-layer fusion of shallow detail features and deep semantic features through skip connections in the encoder-decoder structure.Compared with traditional short-time average/long-time average(STA/LTA)algorithms and advanced neural network models such as PhaseNet and EQTransformer,ResUNet shows superior performance in picking P-and S-wave phases.The model was trained on 400000 labeled microseismic signals from the Stanford earthquake dataset(STEAD)and was successfully applied to the Shizhuyuan polymetallic mine in Hunan Province,China.The results demonstrate that ResUNet achieves high picking accuracy and robustness in complex geological conditions,offering reliable technical support for early warning of disasters such as rockburst in deep underground engineering.

文摘Microseismic (MS) source location plays an important role in MS monitoring. This paper proposes a MS source location method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and multi-sensor arrays, where a free weight joints the P-wave first arrival data. This method adaptively adjusts the preference for “superior” arrays and leverages “inferior” arrays to escape local optima, thereby improving the location accuracy. The effectiveness and stability of this method were validated through synthetic tests, pencil-lead break (PLB) experiments, and mining engineering applications. Specifically, for synthetic tests with 1 μs Gaussian noise and 100 μs large noise in rock samples, the location error of the multi-sensor arrays jointed location method is only 0.30 cm, which improves location accuracy by 97.51% compared to that using a single sensor array. The average location error of PLB events on three surfaces of a rock sample is reduced by 48.95%, 26.40%, and 55.84%, respectively. For mine blast event tests, the average location error of the dual sensor arrays jointed method is 62.74 m, 54.32% and 14.29% lower than that using only sensor arrays 1 and 2, respectively. In summary, the proposed multi-sensor arrays jointed location method demonstrates good noise resistance, stability, and accuracy, providing a compelling new solution for MS location in relevant mining scenarios.

文摘Deep coal-energy mining frequently results in microseismic(MS)events,which may be a precursor to the risk of rockbursts and pose risks to human safety and infrastructure.Therefore,quantitatively predicting the time,energy,and location(TEL)of future MS events is crucial for understanding and preventing potential catastrophic events.In this study,we introduced the application of spatiotemporal graph convolutional networks(STGCN)to predict the TEL of MS events induced by deep coal-energy mining.Notably,this was the first application of graph convolution networks(GCNs)in the spatiotemporal prediction of MS events.The adjacency matrices of the sensor networks were determined based on the distance between MS sensors,the sensor network graphs we constructed,and GCN was employed to extract the spatiotemporal details of the graphs.The model is simple and versatile.By testing the model with on-site MS monitoring data,our results demonstrated promising efficacy in predicting the TEL of MS events,with the cosine similarity(C)above 0.90 and the mean relative error(MRE)below 0.08.This is critical to improving the safety and operational efficiency of deep coal-energy mining.

文摘A case study of seismic interferometry applied to a small microseismic monitoring network is here presented.The main objectives of this study are(i)to quantify the lateral variability of shear-wave ve-locities in the studied area,and(ii)to investigate the bias produced by noise directionality and non-stationarity in the velocity estimate.Despite the limited number of stations and the short-period char-acter of the seismic sensors,the empirical Green's functions were retrieved for all station pairs using two years of passive data.Both group and phase velocities were derived,the former using the widespread frequency-time analysis,the latter through the analysis of the real part of the cross-spectra.The main advantage of combining these two methods is a more accurate identification of higher modes,resulting in a reduction of ambiguity during picking and data interpretation.Surface wave tomography was run to obtain the spatial distribution of group and phase velocities for the same wavelengths.The low standard deviation of the results suggests that the sparse character of the network does not limit the applicability of the method,for this specific case.The obtained maps highlight the presence of a lower velocity area that extends from the centre of the network towards southeast.Group and phase velocity dispersion curves have been jointly inverted to retrieve as many shear-wave velocity profiles as selected station pairs.While the average model can be used for a more accurate location of the local natural seismicity,the associated standard deviations give us an indication of the lateral heterogeneity of seismic velocities as a function of depth.Finally,the same velocity analysis was repeated for different time windows in order to quantify the error associated to variations in the noise field.Errors as large as 4%have been found,related to the unfavorable orientation of the receiver pairs with respect to strongly directional noise sources,and to the very short time widows.It was shown that using a one-year time window these errors arereduced to 0.3%.

文摘Dynamic stress adjustment in deep-buried high geostress hard rock tunnels frequently triggers catastrophic failures such as rockbursts and collapses.While a comprehensive understanding of this process is critical for evaluating surrounding rock stability,its dynamic evolution are often overlooked in engineering practice.This study systematically summarizes a novel classification framework for stress adjustment types—stabilizing(two-zoned),shallow failure(three-zoned),and deep failure(four-zoned)—characterized by distinct stress adjustment stages.A dynamic interpretation technology system is developed based on microseismic monitoring,integrating key microseismic parameters(energy index EI,apparent stressσa,microseismic activity S),seismic source parameter space clustering,and microseismic paths.This approach enables precise identification of evolutionary stages,stress adjustment types,and failure precursors,thereby elucidating the intrinsic linkage between geomechanical processes(stress redistribution)and failure risks.The study establishes criteria and procedures for identifying stress adjustment types and their associated failure risks,which were successfully applied in the Grand Canyon Tunnel of the E-han Highway to detect 50 instances of disaster risks.The findings offer invaluable insights into understanding the evolution process of stress adjustment and pinpointing the disaster risks linked to hard rock in comparable high geostress tunnels.

文摘Accurate and rapid determination of source locations is of great significance for surface microseismic monitoring.Traditional methods,such as diffraction stacking,are time-consuming and challenging for real-time monitoring.In this study,we propose an approach to locate microseismic events using a deep learning algorithm with surface data.A fully convolutional network is designed to predict source locations.The input data is the waveform of a microseismic event,and the output consists of three 1D Gaussian distributions representing the probability distribution of the source location in the x,y,and z dimensions.The theoretical dataset is generated to train the model,and several data augmentation methods are applied to reduce discrepancies between the theoretical and field data.After applying the trained model to field data,the results demonstrate that our method is fast and achieves comparable location accuracy to the traditional diffraction stacking location method,making it promising for real-time microseismic monitoring.

文摘In this study, we use the Bohai Sea area as an example to investigate the characteristics of secondary microseisms and their impact on seismic noise based on the temporal frequency spectral analysis of observation data from 33 broadband seismic stations during strong gust periods, and new perspectives are proposed on the generation mechanisms of secondary microseisms. The results show that short-period double- frequency (SPDF) and long-period double-frequency (LPDF) microseisms exhibit significant alternating trends of strengthening and weakening in the northwest area of the Bohai Sea. SPDF microseisms are generated by irregular wind waves during strong off shore wind periods, with a broad frequency band distributed in the range of 0.2-1 Hz;LPDF microseisms are generated by regular swells during periods of sea wind weakening, with a narrow frequency band concentrated between 0.15 and 0.3 Hz. In terms of temporal dimensions, as the sea wind weakens, the energy of SPDF microseisms weakens, and the dominant frequencies increase, whereas the energy of LPDF microseisms strengthens and the dominant frequencies decrease, which is consistent with the process of the decay of wind waves and the growth of swells. In terms of spatial dimensions, as the microseisms propagate inland areas, the advantageous frequency band and energy of SPDF microseisms are reduced and significantly attenuated, respectively, whereas LPDF microseisms show no significant changes. And during the propagation process in high-elevation areas, LPDF microseisms exhibit a certain site amplifi cation eff ect when the energy is strong. The results provide important supplements to the basic theory of secondary microseisms, preliminarily reveal the relationship between the atmosphere, ocean, and seismic noise, and provide important theoretical references for conducting geological and oceanographic research based on the characteristics of secondary microseisms.

文摘Impact ground pressure events occur frequently in coal mining processes,significantly affecting the personal safety of construction workers.Real-time microseismic monitoring of coal rock body rupture information can provide early warnings,and the seismic source location method is an essential indicator for evaluating a microseismic monitoring system.This paper proposes a nonlinear hybrid optimal particle swarm optimisation(PSO)microseismic positioning method based on this technique.The method first improves the PSO algorithm by using the global search performance of this method to quickly find a feasible solution and provide a better initial solution for the subsequent solution of the nonlinear optimal microseismic positioning method.This approach effectively prevents the problem of the microseismic positioning method falling into a local optimum because of an over-reliance on the initial value.In addition,the nonlinear optimal microseismic positioning method further narrows the localisation error based on the PSO algorithm.A simulation test demonstrates that the new method has a good positioning effect,and engineering application examples also show that the proposed method has high accuracy and strong positioning stability.The new method is better than the separate positioning method,both overall and in three directions,making it more suitable for solving the microseismic positioning problem.

文摘The rock mass failure induced by deep mining exhibits pronounced spatial heterogeneity and diverse mechanisms,with its microseismic responses serving as effective indicators of regional failure evolution and instability mechanisms.Focusing on the Level VI stope sublayers in the Jinchuan#2 mining area,this study constructs a 24-parameter index system encompassing time-domain features,frequency-domain features,and multifractal characteristics.Through manifold learning,clustering analysis,and hybrid feature selection,15 key indicators were extracted to construct a classification framework for failure responses.Integrated with focal mechanism inversion and numerical simulation,the failure patterns and corresponding instability mechanisms across different structural zones were further identified.The results reveal that multiscale microseismic characteristics exhibit clear regional similarities.Based on the morphological features of radar plots derived from the 15 indicators,acoustic responses were classified into four typical types,each reflecting distinct local failure mechanisms,stress conditions,and plastic zone evolution.Moreover,considering dominant instability factors and rupture modes,four representative rock mass instability models were proposed for typical failure zones within the stope.These findings provide theoretical guidance and methodological support for hazard prediction,structural optimization,and disturbance control in deep metal mining areas.

文摘To find discriminating features in seismograms for the classification of mine seismic events,signal databases of blasts and microseismic events were established based on manual identification.Criteria including the repetition of waveforms,tail decreasing,dominant frequency and occurrence time of day were considered in the establishment of the databases.Signals from databases of different types were drawn into a unified coordinate system.It is noticed that the starting-up angles of the two types tend to be concentrated into two different intervals.However,it is difficult to calculate the starting-up angle directly due to the inaccuracy of the P-wave arrival＇s picking.The slope value of the starting-up trend line,which was obtained by linear regression,was proposed to substitute the angle.Two slope values associated with the coordinates of the first peak and the maximum peak were extracted as the characteristic parameters.A statistical model with correct discrimination rate of greater than 97.1% was established by applying the Fisher discriminant analysis.
文摘The development of unconventional resources, such as shale gas and tight sane gas, requires the integration of multi-disciplinary knowledge to resolve many engineering problems in order to achieve economic production levels. The reservoir heterogeneit3 revealed by different data sets, such as 3D seismic and microseismic data, can more full3 reflect the reservoir properties and is helpful to optimize the drilling and completioT programs. First, we predict the local stress direction and open or close status of the natura fractures in tight sand reservoirs based on seismic curvature, an attribute that reveals reservoi heterogeneity and geomechanical properties. Meanwhile, the reservoir fracture network is predicted using an ant-tracking cube and the potential fracture barriers which can affec hydraulic fracture propagation are predicted by integrating the seismic curvature attribute anc ant-tracking cube. Second, we use this information, derived from 3D seismic data, to assis in designing the fracture program and adjusting stimulation parameters. Finally, we interpre the reason why sand plugs will occur during the stimulation process by the integration of 3E seismic interpretation and microseismic imaging results, which further explain the hydraulic fracure propagation controlling factors and open or closed state of natural fractures in tigh sand reservoirs.

文摘We propose a new method for inverting source function of microseismic event induced in mining. The observed data from microseismic monitoring during mining are represented by a wave equation in a spherical coordinate system and then the data are transformed from the time-space domain to the time-slowness domain based on tomographic principle, from whichwe can obtain the signals related to the source in the time-slowness domain. Through analyzing the relationship between the signal located at the maximum energy and the source function, we derive the tomographic equations to compute the source function from the signals and to calculate the effective radiated energy based on the source function. Moreover, we fit the real amplitude spectrum of the source function computed from the observed data into the co-2 model based on the least squares principle and determine the zero-frequency level spectrum and the corner frequency, finally, the source rupture radius of the event is calculated and The synthetic and field examples demonstrate that the proposed tomographic inversion methods are reliable and efficient
