New approaches of the monitoring of porosity, permeability, shear and<br />

bulk modulus and dynamic viscosity of the pore fluid in vicinity of<br />

seismoactive fault zone<br />

Prof. Mikhail Gokhberg<br />

Igor Garagash, Nikolai Kolosnitsin<br />

New method of seismoactive region parameters like porosity, permeability and shear modulus is<br />

proposed by means of extraction of the electric component related with tidal oscillations. Theoretical<br />

models are developed which show that the electric fields are connected with inhomogeneous<br />

petrophysical properties of the crust (both in vertical and horizontal direction). Generation of the<br />

electrotelluric field (ETF) by geodynamic processes in the earth crust is considered. It is supposed that<br />

the ETF arises due to electrokinetic effect caused by deformation of the earth crust. Based on this<br />

model, the new technique of the ETF measurement is proposed. The possibility to use the electrical<br />

fields caused by the tidal waves for calibration of the measurements is also considered. It is shown that<br />

the tidal variations of the pore pressure and electrical fields essentially depend on medium permeability,<br />

porosity, and viscosity of a fluid. It is also shown that by using observations of the field it is possible to<br />

determine mechanical and petrophysical properties of deformable medium. Examples of extraction of<br />

electric field components from the long-term observations are given<br />
