Abstract: The parameters of regional in-situ stress field are very important for the analysis of regional crustal stability, extraction of deep energy resource materials, and deep infrastructure construction. Moreover, the principal stress orientation is one of the important characteristic indicators of regional in-situ stress field. At present, there are many methods to determine the stress field, mainly including the method based on borehole(in-situ measurement)or focal mechanism solution(inversion). Comparing the way of in-situ measurement and inversion measurement, the in-situ measurement not only can measure the orientation of the in-situ stress, but also can obtain the magnitude of the in-situ stress. In the existing in-situ stress measurement and estimation methods based on borehole, the stress orientation is mainly determined by borehole induced failure structures when drilling or coring. Due to the concentration of tectonic stress in the borehole wall after drilling, the rock mass in the borehole wall area may be damaged, and borehole induced failure structures including borehole breakout(BO)and borehole-induced tensile fracture(DITF)will occur. Usually, borehole breakout occurs near the minimum principal stress orientation, and tensile cracks occur near the maximum principal stress orientation. In these two types of borehole induced failure structures, the DITF is more widely used to determine stress in-situ orientation, because DITF is the direct response of the orientation of the maximum horizontal stress in the stress field. The Yishu fault zone is the main active fault in the southern middle segment of Tan-Lu fault zone and the MS8.5 Tancheng earthquake in 1668 occurred in this area, so determining the characteristics of the stress field in this area has important reference value for the judgment of Yishu fault stability. In order to accurately determine the orientation of the modern stress field of the Yishu fault zone, we drilled three boreholes with a depth of about 400m in the Yishu fault zone from 2012 to 2014, the connection direction of the three borehole positions is perpendicular to the strike of fault zone and covered the main faults and its branch faults. In the three deep boreholes, we use high-precision ultrasonic drilling TV system to implement a three-year repeat scan logging and hydraulic fracturing in-situ stress measurement with a view to analyzing the characteristics of the regional in-situ stress field. Through logging images, a total of 199 vertical fractures were accurately identified based on the characteristics of the damaged structure, including 99 drilling-induced fractures, 43 hydraulically induced fractures, and 57 growth fractures in the later stages(natural growth), simultaneously, we use the cyclic statistical method to determine the dominant horizontal principal stress orientation of the Yishu fault zone. As the result, the principal stress orientation is about 92.28° which is basically no change compared with previous research results, and the natural growth of vertical fractures was discovered for the first time near the dominant orientation. In order to verify this phenomenon, we compare the rock tensile strength of the borehole core with the stress profile obtained from the measured in-situ stress value in this research. Through Brazil Splitting Strip Test, Brazil Splitting Pyramid Test, Hollow Rock Pillar Test(oil injection and water injection)and the direct tensile test, we obtained the rock tensile strength of about 6~11MPa. Theoretical analysis results show that the maximum circumferential stress in the borehole is larger than the tensile strength of the rock, which satisfies the basic conditions for causing natural tensile failure, and it is theoretically possible to form the natural tension fracture in the current stress environment. This new phenomenon can further verify the accuracy of ultrasonic drilling TV in determining in-situ stress orientation, and acoustic borehole televiewer with high resolution can be widely used to in-situ stress measurement in the future.

摘要: 区域地应力场状态的特征参数对于区域地壳稳定性分析、 深部能源和资源开采以及深部基础设施建设都至关重要。 主应力方向是地应力场的重要特征指标之一。 在众多基于钻孔的地应力测量与估算方法中, 利用钻孔孔壁诱发裂缝(DITF)确定区域应力场最大水平应力方向是最直接的方法之一。 利用跨沂沭断裂带布置的3个深度约400m的钻孔, 于2012—2014年开展了为期3a的高精度超声波钻孔电视重复扫描录井及水压致裂应力测量工作, 以期准确确定区域的地应力场特征。 通过录井图像精确识别出竖向裂缝共199组, 其中包括钻孔诱发裂缝99组、 水压致裂裂缝43组、 后期生长裂缝57组。 经循环统计方法确定的沂沭断裂带区域应力场的最大水平主应力优势方向为92.28°, 并在优势方向附近首次发现竖向裂缝自然生长现象, 进一步验证了利用超声波钻孔电视确定应力方向的准确性。
