Large‐displacement, hydrothermal frictional properties of DFDP‐1 fault rocks, Alpine Fault, New Zealand: Implications for deep rupture propagation
The Alpine Fault, New Zealand, is a major plate-bounding fault that accommodates 65-75% of the total relative motion between the Australian and Pacific plates. Here we present data on the hydrothermal frictional properties of Alpine Fault rocks that surround the principal slip zones (PSZ) of the Alpine Fault and those comprising the PSZ itself. The samples were retrieved from relatively shallow...
متن کاملPhysical properties of surface outcrop cataclastic fault rocks, Alpine Fault, New Zealand
[1] We present a unified analysis of physical properties of cataclastic fault rocks collected from surface exposures of the central Alpine Fault at Gaunt Creek and Waikukupa River, New Zealand. Friction experiments on fault gouge and intact samples of cataclasite were conducted at 30–33 MPa effective normal stress (sn′) using a double-direct shear configuration and controlled pore fluid pressur...
متن کاملFrictional melt pulses during a V1.1 Ma earthquake along the Alpine Fault, New Zealand
Our understanding of frictional melting that occurs during large earthquake slip events has been hampered by the extremely fine-grain size of frictionally fused rock, and the lack of detailed high-resolution microscopy studies that describe features at the crystal lattice scale. In such a study, we here report the complex nature of melting and crystallization in a symmetrically layered, pseudot...
متن کاملDeep rock damage in the San Andreas Fault revealed by P- and S-type fault-zone-guided waves
Damage to fault-zone rocks during fault slip results in the formation of a channel of low seismic-wave velocities. Within such channels guided seismic waves, denoted by Fg, can propagate. Here we show with core samples, well logs and Fg-waves that such a channel is crossed by the SAFOD (San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth) borehole at a depth of 2.7 km near Parkfield, California, USA. This l...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Rock Integrity and Fault Reactivation in the Cap Rock and Reservoir Rock Due to Pressure Variations
Cap rocks are dams which can prevent the upward movement of hydrocarbons. They have disparities and weaknesses including discontinuities, crushed areas, and faults. Gas injection is an effective mechanism for oil recovery and pore pressure. With increasing pore pressure, normal stress is reduced, and the integrity of impermeable boundaries (cap rock, fault, etc.) becomes instable. A successful ...
