Обсуждаются основы недавно обнаруженного веерного механизма разрушения горных пород на сейсмогенных глубинах земной коры, создающего разломы с высокими фильтрационно-емкостными свойствами. Феноменальной особенностью веерного механизма является способность создавать новые разломы в прочных горных породах при аномально низких сдвиговых напряжениях и обеспечивать высокие скорости роста разломов вплоть до сверхзвуковых, что делает его самым опасным механизмом землетрясений. Показано, что данный механизм может быть активизирован искусственно для различных целей, например, при создании глубинных коллекторов для петротеплоэлектростанций и для увеличения нефтеотдачи трудноизвлекаемых запасов.

The article discusses the basis of the recently discovered fan mechanism of rock rupture at seismogenic depths of the Earth's crust, creating faults with high permeability. A phenomenal feature of the fan mechanism is the ability to create new faults in strong rocks at abnormally low shear stresses and provide high fault velocity up to supersonic, which makes it the most dangerous earthquake mechanism. It is shown that this mechanism can be activated artificially for various purposes, for example, when creating deep collectors for petro-thermal power plants and to increase oil recovery from hardto-recover reserves.
