Engineering and geomechanical forecast for waste disposal in underground caverns including earthquake-prone zones
- Authors:
- O. V. Kovalev
The article aims at obtaining representative scientifically based data to determine parameters of a necessary-safe condition of the rock massif (RM) in underground waste diposal caverns zones, including earthquake-prone zones. The main requirements for underground caverns for hazardous waste disposal and for their construction technology are described. The subject of the research is underground solution caverns in halogen rocks. Data for justification of safe waste disposal conditions in underground salt caverns and its stages are presented. A complex approach to the solution of the research problem is described. The main aspects of dynamic influence of seismic waves on underground caverns stability are considered. Taking into account seismic-risk zoning data on the research region some significant parameters of a possible seismic impact on the experimental cavern are calculated. The article points out the necessity of superincumbent rock and surface displacement assessment for the experimental site zone using the suggested complex approach and including the analysis of surveying data and results of rock mass geomechanical modeling.

Scientific-methodical foundation for geodynamic safety of oil and gas objects
- Authors:
- Yu. O. Kuzmin
It was shown on example of a number of deposits that space contemporaneity of emergency situations at wells and pipeline systems to fault zones finds its natural explanation within the concepts of existence of SD processes in such zones. In such situation it is essential to conduct very thoughtful system of diagnostics of crust fields with fluctuation deformation characteristics. For that purpose follow-up realization of three interconnected procedures must be conducted: detailed and measurement-assured monitoring (geodynamic test-area), complex several-variant interpretation of results of the monitoring and selection of different scenarios of possible negative contour, determination of the level of geodynamic risk, forecasting the environmental, social and economic consequences, and formulating strategies for preventive arrangements.

Ecologycal and geodynamic safety and problems in industrial ecological monitoring at objects of an oil-gas complex

This article is focused on the influence of modern geodynamics on landscape and its structure. Modern geodynamical processes manifest in anomalous rock deforming in the fault zones. Their natural or technogenic activation causes the appearance of dangerous geological processes. It can be taken into account only by geodynamical monitoring on the objects of oil and gas industry.

Magnetotelluric evidence of deep geodynamic settings at the junction zone of the Southern Tien Shan and Tarim basin
Detailed magnetotelluric and magnetovariation profiling was conducted (40 broadband stations) at the southern 140 km segment of geophysical transect MANAS with the help of MT instruments: MTU-5 (produced by «Phoenix Geophysics Ltd») and MT-24 (produced by EMI Center). MANAS transect extended from south of Kashgar, China, to just south of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and crossing the whole Tien Shan orogenic belt in transverse direction of its main ranges strike. We constructed 2D geoelectric model to characterize block-fracture structure at the junction zone of the Southern Tien Shan. There is low resistive inclined zone in the obtained cross-section imaging the underthrusting process of Tarim tectonic sheets under the Tien Shan mountains. Also there are some electrical heterogeneities as indications that young deformations inside Tarim lithospheric block have the whole crust scale.
