摘要:

文中基于重庆区域地震台网和四川区域地震台网记录的地震资料, 对2021年7月以来泸县—荣昌地区的地震进行重定位, 并利用CAP方法反演2009年以来记录的ML≥3.0地震的震源机制解。再结合拟合的发震断层参数和反演的构造应力场探讨了地震活动的发震断层和不同时段地震的孕震机理。结果显示, 2021年以来泸县—荣昌的地震活动从螺观山背斜迁移至喻家寺和香炉山向斜内2个区域; 地震活动呈现出2条NE—NNE向展布的条带, 且深度集中在2~12km。震源破裂以逆冲挤压型为主, 震源矩心平均深度为3.8km, 与志留系龙马溪组页岩层深度吻合。其中喻家寺向斜地震带状活动随着时间的推移整体向NE迁移, 且西南末端分叉成为2支。香炉山向斜内的地震活动则呈NNE走向、 SE倾分布。2条地震条带地表无匹配断层, 根据小地震分布确定的断层面参数和震源机制解结果推测, 喻家寺向斜地震条带的发震断层为一条走向NNE、 倾向NWW的逆冲隐伏断层; 香炉山向斜地震条带发震断层则为一条走向NNE、 倾向SE的逆冲隐伏断层。研究区的构造应力环境相对简单, 以NWW-SEE向水平挤压作用为主, 区域内显著地震主要受区域构造应力场和隐伏断层控制。

Abstract:

In recent years, seismic activity in the Luxian-Rongchang area has increased significantly and garnered widespread attention from researchers. Since the MS6.0 earthquake in Luxian County in 2021, there has been a significant increase in small seismic activity and significant spatiotemporal migration distribution characteristics in the area, which has brought new challenges to the understanding of seismic risk in the region. The genetic mechanism and prevention and control behaviors for future risk have become a common concern for the public. This article relocated earthquakes using double-difference location since July 2021 and inverted the focal mechanism solutions of ML≥3.0 earthquakes, employing the CAP method since 2009, in the Luxian-Rongchang area, based on seismic data from the Chongqing and Sichuan Regional Seismic Networks. Furthermore, it explored the seismogenic fault and the seismogenic mechanism of earthquakes in different periods by fitting parameters of the seismogenic fault and inverting the tectonic stress fields.

The results show that seismic activity in Luxian-Rongchang has migrated from the Luoguanshan anticline to two areas within the Yujiasi and Xianglushan synclines since 2021. The relocated seismic activity exhibits two NE-NNE-oriented bands, within an overall depth range of 2~12km. The rupture of the seismic source is mainly of the thrust type, with an average focal depth of 3.8km, which is consistent with the depth of the shale layer of the Silurian Longmaxi Formation. The seismic activity within the Yujiasi syncline exhibits migration towards the NE direction over time, and the southwestern end forks into two branches. The strike direction of the seismic activity band within the Xianglushan syncline is NNE and dip towards the SE direction. There are no matching faults on the surface of the two seismic bands. Based on the determination of fault plane parameters and the focal mechanism solutions for earthquakes, it is speculated that the seismogenic fault of the seismic band in Yujiasi syncline corresponds to a hidden thrust fault with a strike of NNE and dip of NWW; The Xianglushan seismic band is a hidden thrust fault with a strike of NNE and dip of SE. The tectonic stress environment in the study area is relatively simple, which is mainly dominated by NWW-oriented horizontal compression tectonic stress fields. Significant earthquakes in these two regions are primarily controlled by regional stress fields and hidden faults.

In addition, we argue that the mechanism of seismic activities in Luxian-Rongchang resulted from rupture along pre-existing hidden faults, driven by fluid pore pressure diffusion, as was the case before. The difference is that fluid pore pressure is probably raised by different sources, including the long-term injection of wastewater in Luoguanshan anticline by the former research and hydraulic fracturing within the Yujiasi and Xianglushan synclines. Due to the lack of detailed shale gas development data in this study, there are still shortcomings in revealing its seismogenic mechanism through spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and focal mechanism solution. Further comprehensive data collection is needed in the future. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the earthquake magnitude in the region is still dominated by small and medium-sized earthquakes. Post-earthquake risks still warrant attention.
