Bibliographic description: Bogoyavlensky, V.I., Erokhin, G.N., Nikonov, R.A., Bogoyavlensky, I.V., Bryksin, V.M. Study of catastrophic gas blowout zones in the Arctic based on passive microseismic monitoring (on the example of Lake Otkrytiye). Arctic: ecology and economy, 2020, no. 1(37), pp. 53-64. DOI: 10.25283/2223-4594-2020-1-53-64. (In Russian).
Abstract:
For the first time, the technology of 4D passive microseismic monitoring (MSM) was used to study powerful gas blowout from the Earth’s cryolithosphere in the Arctic. In the region of the deep thermokarst Lake Otkrytiye (Discovery), an active strong subvertical gas-hydrodynamic zone was revealed by MSM 4D. Based on the patterns of microseismic events distribution, the migration of formation fluids (primarily gas) was proved from the Cenomanian water-gas-saturated deposits of the Upper Cretaceous with powerful gas eruptions from the bottom of Lake Otkrytiye resulting in the formation of giant craters with a diameter of up to 30-40 m. The MSM 4D method contributes to solving the challenges of preventing and eliminating emergencies of a natural and man-made nature, and therefore belongs to the category of critical technologies.
