Abstrakt: The paper is devoted to the discussion of promising methods of man-caused impacts on highly stressed and potentially seismically dangerous segments of faults using the injection of drilling fluids through deep wells. We expect that fluid injection will make it possible to transfer displacements in the principal slip zone into the accelerated creep mode and thereby to exclude dynamic coseismic slip accompanied by high-amplitude elastic (seismic) waves. To substantiate the approach, we briefly analyze the information obtained from field experiments as well as physical and numerical modeling aimed to study the modes of generation of seismic impulses during dynamic slip events in fault segments. We also discuss the potential consequences of fluid injection into fault segments through deep wells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
