• W4322009973 abstract "Gas production from the Groningen gas field in the northeast of the Netherlands causes compaction and induced seismicity within the reservoir and overlying/underlying lithologies. Recent earthquake localization studies show that seismicity dominantly occurs on complex normal fault systems that juxtapose lithologies of contrasting mechanical properties. However, little is known about the effects of along-fault heterogeneity on the frictional behaviour of these faults. This study aims at understanding how material mixing and clay-smearing in fault gouges affects the mechanical strength and stability of faults that juxtapose contrasting lithologies (e.g. clay-rich and quartz-rich) by performing friction experiments.Velocity stepping tests are performed on homogeneously mixed and spatially segmented simulated fault gouges, within a rotary shear configuration. Experiments are performed under normal stresses ranging between 2.5 and 10 MPa and imposed velocities ranging between 10 and 1000 &#181;m/s. The rotary shear configuration allows for the large shear-displacements (>145 mm in our experiments) required to study the effects of lithology mixing. Simulated gouges are saturated with DI-water and subsequently sheared under drained conditions. Because low-permeability clay-rich materials promote the build-up of local pressure transients, a specially designed piston with four installed pressure transducers is used to monitor fluid pressures in the vicinity of the simulated fault gouges.The mechanical data on segmented gouges show an evolution in frictional strength, characterized by a phase of strong displacement-weakening followed by displacement-strengthening. The frictional stability strongly increases with shear-displacement, comprising a transition from velocity-weakening to velocity-strengthening. Microstructural analysis of the sheared gouges provides evidence for the development of clay-smears and strain-localization within localized shear bands, explaining the evolution in frictional stability and the initial phase of shear-weakening. However, the dilatation observed at large displacements suggests that the quartz-rich gouge is incorporated within the clay smear. This incorporation is confirmed by microstructural analysis of the clay smear and provides a mechanism responsible for the observed strengthening at large shear-displacements. Monitoring of local pore fluid pressures shows that segmented gouges are more susceptible to pressure transients, depending on the initial distribution of high porosity sandstone gouges and low permeability claystone gouges.This study shows that the frictional strength and stability of spatially heterogeneous gouges highly depends on the amount of shear-displacement. The frictional strength is characterized by subsequent phases of displacement-weakening and strengthening, whereas the frictional stability only increases with shear-displacement. This eventually leads to relatively strong but also frictionally stable faults at large displacements. The results have important implications for modelling earthquake nucleation, &#160;propagation, and arrest and apply to faults in geological settings that exhibit induced seismicity, like the Groningen gas field, but are also relevant for tectonically active faults located elsewhere." @default.
