Abstract

Micro-earthquake (MEQ) distribution describes subsurface conditions that can contribute to monitoring the dynamics of geothermal reservoirs. Thus, the distribution of MEQ hypocenter locations with high accuracy becomes extremely important. Experiments were conducted with 3 variations of geometry and number of seismic stations, while Geiger and Coupled Velocity-Hypocenter methods were used to determine the location of MEQ. Experimental results show that in determining the location of the MEQ, the geometry and number of seismic stations played an important role. Increasing the number of stations with relatively long distances can result in less accurate locations of MEQ, error and bias in determining the location of MEQ will be greater when the azimuth gap value is greater. This is shown by the distribution of MEQ that are more spread out in variations 4A and 4B (4 seismic stations) compared to the distribution of MEQ hypocenters using data from 8 seismic stations. The azimuth gap variations of stations 4A and 4B are 283° and 267°, and 8 stations have a value of 222°. The large value of the azimuth gap is due to the distribution of stations only on one side so that there are horizontal angles that are not covered by seismic stations.

Abstract

Intensive exploitation of geothermal injection and production can trigger microearthquakes which it signals come from dynamic fractures. The purpose of this study is to decide the impact of local magnitude on mitigation in geothermal fields based on soil acceleration and vulnerability of seismic in geothermal fields. This study uses seismic wave recording data and the geology of the research area. It is focable on calculating local magnitude, ground acceleration and seismic susceptibility index to earthquakes based on ground acceleration and seismic susceptibility index in geothermal fields. The maximum amplitude value represent that the medium classification class (3<A0<6) is associated with a moderate degree of deformation. Natural frequency value are found with a moderate classification (4<f0<10) around the area of injection wells and production wells, indicating that the research area has a moderate level of soil hardness structure. The peak ground acceleration in the study area is classified as moderate (0.25<PGA<0.7) which means that the area has a moderate level of risk. Vulnerability of seismic in the study area is included in the low classification (Kg<10). The local magnitude impact on soil acceleration and vulnerability of seismic in this study has a moderate risk and can be categorised as safe. In the future, this research serves as a basis for proper decision-making in geothermal energy operations, monitoring, and infrastructure development
