Elastic Wave Propagation Modeling
During Exploratory Drilling on Artificial
Ice Island
Igor B. Petrov , Maksim V. Muratov , and Fedor I. Sergeev
Abstract This chapter is devoted to numerical modeling of elastic impacts on artificial ice islands arising as a result of drill impacts while drilling from the island,
earthquakes, and pressure of structures located on the island, as well as collisions
of the ice island with drifting ice layers. To solve this problem numerically, we
use the grid-characteristic method with interpolation on regular rectangular and
parallelepipedal meshes and unstructured triangular and tetrahedral ones. The gridcharacteristic method most accurately describes the dynamic processes in exploration
seismology problems, since it takes into account the nature of wave phenomena. The
approach used makes it possible to construct correct computational algorithms at
the boundaries and contact boundaries of the integrational domain. In the work, the
process of propagation of elastic waves in the considered geological environment
studies simulates the distribution of stresses and also studies the stability of the ice
island to destruction using the Mises criterion.
13.1 Introduction
Despite the active development of alternative energy technologies, oil and natural
gas remain the main sources of energy throughout the world. At the same time, many
traditional deposits, the technologies of exploration and development of which are
well developed, are largely depleted. In recent years, various unconventional (hard-toextract) deposits have been discovered, the work with which requires a development
of science and technology in such areas as geomechanics, the theory of seismic waves,
