摘要

Hydraulic stimulation is frequently used to enhance reservoir productivity. The aim of hydraulic stimulation is to increase the formation pressure by fluid injection to create artificial fractures that act as additional fluid pathways. But large-scale fluid injection as applied in hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs can also induce seismicity and fault reactivation depending on the reservoir geomechanics and stress regime. Recent case studies in stimulation of geothermal reservoirs have shown induced seismicity as an undesirable side effect which needs to be understood prior to massive fluid injection. Slip tendency analysis has been successfully used to characterize fault slip likelihood and fault slip directions in any stress regime. In our study, we applied slip tendency analysis to assess the reactivation potential of shear and dilational fractures in a deep geothermal reservoir in the North-East German Basin, based on the notion that slip on faults is controlled by the ratio of shear to normal effective stress acting on the plane of weakness. The results from slip tendency analysis are supported by the spatial distribution of recorded microseismicity, which indicates slip rather than extension along a presumed NE-striking failure plane.
