In the KTB pilot borehole an extensive fluid injection experiment is scheduled for April 2004 and will last for about 12 months. The injection will take place in the openhole section of the borehole at a depth of about 4000m. At that depth the borehole intersects a major crustal shear zone, the SE2 reflector. The proposal aims at exploiting this unique opportunity in order to study the influence of pore pressure fluctuations and fluid mobility on the reflection response of seismic signals by means of an active seismic reflection survey. Highly reproducible seismic signals will be generated using the P-wave vibrator of the GGA-Institute. The signals will be recorded by a permanently installed 3C-geophone array. Depending on the injection cycle the signals will be several times repeated in order to monitor the expected variations of the reflecion response. The analysis of the time-dependent reflection responses will be the final stage of the project. The results will provide the basis for further conclusions, like for instance an evaluation of the practicability of conshore crustal time-lapse surveys, a further understanding of the physics of the seismogenic process, or studies relating to the seismic imaging of effective-stress related changes of elastic properties within shear zones.

KTB试验井定于2004年4月进行大规模流体注入试验，为期约12个月。注入将在井眼的裸眼部分进行，深度约为4000米。在这个深度，钻孔与一个主要的地壳剪切带SE2反射带相交。本方案旨在利用这一独特的机会，通过主动地震反射测量来研究孔隙压力波动和流体流动性对地震信号反射响应的影响。使用gga研究所的p波振动器将产生高度可重复的地震信号。这些信号将被永久安装的3c检波器阵列记录下来。根据注入周期的不同，信号将重复几次，以监测反射响应的预期变化。对随时间变化的反射响应的分析将是该项目的最后阶段。这些结果将为进一步的结论提供基础，例如评估海岸地壳时移调查的实用性，进一步了解孕震过程的物理学，或研究与剪切带内有效应力相关的弹性特性变化的地震成像。
