Abstract

[0002] Monitoring is essentially a means of information collection and analysis, and the quantity and quality of information are the key indicators for measuring the effectiveness of monitoring behavior. The importance of information quantity and quality is determined by the core objective of the monitoring behavior. When the monitoring objective is the observation information itself, the weight of the quantity of observation information is higher. For example, the water level, water quality, and air pollutant content of groundwater, etc. In view of this, traditional monitoring optimization methods all focus on issues such as the quantity of the obtained observation information, the repeatability and redundancy of the observation information, and they take obtaining the most information as the core idea of optimization.

[0044] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than here.
[0045] Embodiment 1
[0046] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, a monitoring strategy optimization method based on the analysis of the value of observation information is provided, including:
[0047] S1: Based on the research objective, combined with the mathematical and physical backgrounds of the monitoring object, collect relevant data and establish a numerical model describing the behavior of the system;
[0048] According to the monitoring objective and the nature of the observation information, collect the data required for the numerical model, establish a physical model that can describe the environment or medium state where the observation information is located, and a mathematical model that can reflect the relationship between the observation information and the target parameters.
[0049] For example, when inferring oil and gas reserves and distributions using seismic data collected in oil and gas exploration, geological data (such as well data, stratification data, etc.), seismic acquisition data (such as the amplitude and phase of seismic waves, etc.) need to be collected, and a geological reservoir model, a rock physics model, and a seismic wave propagation model are established. During the inversion process, the geological reservoir model is used as a constraint condition to describe the geometric shape, spatial distribution, and physical properties of the oil and gas reservoir, ensuring that the inversion results conform to the actual geological and geophysical situations. The rock physics model is used to describe the relationship between the elastic parameters of rocks (such as velocity, density) and their physical properties (such as porosity, saturation, permeability). The seismic wave propagation model is used to describe the propagation characteristics of seismic waves in rocks. When inversely identifying the location of potential pollution sources using the concentration data of pollutants in groundwater, geological exploration data (such as borehole data, geophysical exploration data, etc.), hydrogeological data (such as permeability coefficient, etc.) need to be collected, and a heterogeneous geological model, a groundwater flow model, and a solute transport model are established. The heterogeneous geological model is used to describe the locations of aquifers, aquitards, pervious layers, etc., and the characteristics of the heterogeneous distribution of each stratum. The groundwater flow model is usually based on Darcy's law and the continuity equation and is used to describe the heterogeneity, anisotropy of the aquifer, as well as information such as the distribution, flow velocity, and flow direction of the groundwater level. The solute transport model is usually based on the convection-dispersion equation, combined with the results of the groundwater flow model (such as flow velocity, flow direction, etc.), and parameters such as the initial concentration and boundary conditions of the pollutant to describe information such as the concentration distribution and migration path of the pollutant in groundwater.
[0050] S2: Based on the numerical model described in S1, set alternative monitoring points;
[0051] The positions of the alternative monitoring points can be flexibly selected according to the optimization objective and are not restricted by the spatial scale. If the optimization objective is to streamline and optimize the existing monitoring network, the alternative monitoring points are all the existing monitoring points in the monitoring network; if the optimization objective is to plan the positions of new monitoring points, the number and positions of the alternative monitoring points can be freely set according to requirements. The optimized monitoring positions will be selected from the alternative monitoring points, and the number of alternative monitoring points will directly affect the calculation cost of subsequent optimization.
[0052] S3: Formulate the parameters to be inverted, and clarify the initial values and confidence intervals of the inversion parameters;
[0053] S3.1: Determine the parameters to be inverted in the study;
[0054] The parameters to be inverted refer to the unknown parameters that can be solved using mathematical methods through the relationship between the observed information and the constructed model in different monitoring systems.
[0055] The selection of parameters should be based on the characteristics of specific fields and application scenarios, comprehensively considering factors such as the physical meaning of parameters, data sensitivity, stability, ease of observation and measurement, representativeness, practical application value, and ease of inversion and verification. It is recommended to select the core parameters of the experiment or research or the parameters that have a greater impact on the results as the target parameters for inversion. The correct selection of inversion parameters is helpful for achieving the monitoring target.
[0056] S3.2: Preset the initial values and prior intervals of the inversion parameters;
[0057] Set the initial values of the parameters according to the reliable data, expert experience, or literature results in the historical research of the target parameters, and give the prior intervals.
[0058] The setting of the initial values and prior intervals has an important impact on the accuracy and efficiency of the inversion results. The initial value is the starting point of the iterative calculation of parameter inversion, and it also directly affects the accuracy of parameter inversion. Setting a reasonable initial value is beneficial to shortening the iterative process and making the results converge to the optimal solution faster. The prior interval provides constraint conditions for parameter inversion to ensure that the parameters fluctuate within a reasonable range. Setting a reasonable prior interval can narrow the calculation range and reduce the amount of calculation. Especially when dealing with complex problems or a large amount of observational information, setting reasonable initial values and prior intervals is particularly important.
[0059] S4: Determine the "standard value" of the parameter, and conduct simulations based on the numerical model in S1 to obtain the calibration data set;
[0060] S4.1: According to materials such as measured information, reference documents, and experimental data, draw up a set of approximate values for the parameters to be inverted in S3.1 and assume them as the "standard values" without errors.
[0061] The so-called "standard value" is an artificially determined approximate value of the parameter, not the true value of the parameter. It reflects the researcher's estimation of the parameter to be inverted and will be used to check the accuracy of the subsequent parameter inversion results. For different monitoring systems, there are different methods to determine the "standard value", which can be obtained through means such as experiments, measurements, and data retrieval. For example, in materials science, the standard values of the mechanical parameters of materials can be obtained through tensile experiments, compression experiments, etc.; in groundwater science research, the hydrogeological conditions can be obtained through groundwater dynamic observation data or field exploration materials, so as to determine the measured values of hydrogeological parameters. If there are no experimental or observational conditions, it can be set by referring to previous research or relevant standards.
[0062] S4.2: Incorporate the "standard values" of the parameters in S4.1 into the numerical model described in S1. Obtain the observation information of each alternative monitoring point through numerical simulation and regard it as the calibration dataset. To ensure the accuracy of subsequent monitoring network optimization, the duration of numerical simulation and the setting of monitoring frequency can be set relatively large to ensure sufficient observation information is obtained.
[0063] S5: Perform parameter inversion based on the calibration dataset in S4 to obtain the prior and posterior probability distributions of the parameters;
[0064] Assume that there is a linear correlation between the parameters and the output of the numerical model. Then the model output p is expressed as:
[0065] p = Xs + ε
[0066] In the formula, X represents the sensitivity matrix, s is an N×1 vector containing all the parameters inverted by the numerical model, and ε represents the measurement noise.
[0067] Based on the Bayesian formula for linear prediction uncertainty, define the posterior covariance matrix U′(s) of the parameters:
[0068] U′(s) = U(s) - U(s)X t [XU(s)X t + U(ε)] -1 XU(s)
[0069] In the formula, U′(s) represents the posterior covariance matrix of the parameters, U(s) represents the prior covariance matrix of the parameters, and the second term on the right represents the reduction of parameter uncertainty after introducing the calibration dataset.
[0070] S5.1: Introduce the information such as the parameters to be inverted, initial values, and prior intervals selected in S3.2 into the numerical model described in S1, and calculate the parameter covariance matrix U(s) before any calibration.
[0071] S5.2: Use the observation information of a single alternative monitoring point as the calibration dataset, perform iterative calculations on this alternative monitoring point. The iteration termination condition is to meet the convergence accuracy or reach the maximum number of iterations. The convergence accuracy and the number of iterations can be freely determined according to research needs. After the iterative calculation is completed, obtain U′(s) of the target inversion parameters, that is, the parameter covariance matrix after incorporating the calibration dataset.
[0072] S5.3: Repeat step S5.2 for all alternative monitoring points, and calculate U′(s) corresponding to each alternative monitoring point.
[0073] S6: Quantify the value of the observation information of each alternative monitoring point and optimize the monitoring network;
[0074] S6.1: Calculate the change in the variance of the target parameter when different calibration datasets are incorporated.
[0075] When using the observation information of the \(i\)-th alternative monitoring point as the calibration data set, the relative reduction amount \(\gamma\) of the variance of the \(n\)-th parameter n-i is:
[0076]
[0077] In the formula, and respectively represent the prior variance and the posterior variance of the \(n\)-th parameter when using the observation information of the \(i\)-th alternative monitoring point as the calibration data set, corresponding to the \(n\)-th elements on the diagonals of \(U(s)\) and \(U^{\prime}(s)\) respectively. The value range of \(\gamma\) n-i is from 0 to 1. The larger the value, the stronger the weakening ability of the observation information at the \(i\)-th alternative monitoring point to the uncertainty of the \(n\)-th parameter.
[0078] S6.2: Calculate the cumulative change amount of the variances of all parameters corresponding to each alternative monitoring point.
[0079] The cumulative change amount \(R\) of the variances of the parameters of the \(i\)-th alternative monitoring point i is defined as follows:
[0080]
[0081] In the formula, \(N\) represents the number of parameters to be inverted. \(R\) i can be used as a quantitative index of the value of the observation information at the \(i\)-th alternative monitoring point.
[0082] S6.3: Sort the alternative monitoring points according to the value of the observation information from high to low, and preferentially select the alternative monitoring points with high value of the observation information. The number of optimized monitoring points can be freely determined. The preferentially selected monitoring points will jointly form the final optimized monitoring network.
[0083] S7: Based on the monitoring network described in S6, optimize the optimal monitoring duration;
[0084] S7.1: Collect the observation information of all preferentially selected monitoring points in the optimized monitoring network described in S6, and perform discretization processing on the monitoring duration of the observation information.
[0085] Suppose the total duration (monitoring duration) simulated when obtaining the calibration data set in S4.2 is \(T\). Discretize \(T\) into \(k\) sub-durations \(t\), that is, \(T = kt\). The values of the parameters \(k\) and \(t\) can be freely selected according to requirements. The amount of observation information is proportional to the monitoring duration. The 0 - \(kt\) time period corresponds to all the observation information, and each \(t\) corresponds to a part of the observation information. The discretization of the observation information is realized by the discretization of the monitoring duration.
[0086] S7.2: Use the observation data of the optimized monitoring network as the calibration data set to quantify the change of the value of observation information with the monitoring duration.
[0087] Design the monitoring durations to be (0 - t), (0 - 2t), (0 - 3t)...(0 - kt) respectively. Reorganize the observation information obtained from the optimized monitoring network based on the above monitoring durations, with a total of k groups. Sequentially introduce each group of observation information as the calibration data set into the numerical model described in S1 to carry out parameter inversion. Information such as the parameters to be inverted, initial values, and prior intervals refers to S3.2. Calculate the posterior probability distribution of the parameters corresponding to the calibration data sets of different durations and quantify their data values, where R 1t 、R 2t 、R 3t …R kt respectively represent the value of observation information in the time periods of (0 - t), (0 - 2t), (0 - 3t)…(0 - kt).
[0088] S7.3: Weigh the value of observation information against the cost of monitoring time to optimize the monitoring duration.
[0089] Theoretically, the value of observation information will increase with the increase of the monitoring duration, growing rapidly in the early stage and then gradually stabilizing. The optimized monitoring duration t can be selected based on the following formula p :
[0090] R tp ≥Q t R kt
[0091] In the formula, R tp represents the value of observation information corresponding to the monitoring duration of 0 - t p , t p represents the shortest time that meets the above formula, R kt represents the value of observation information corresponding to the monitoring duration of 0 - kt, and Q t represents the time trade-off coefficient. If the cost associated with extending the monitoring time is high, Q t should take a lower value. Conversely, Q t can be appropriately increased. The recommended value range of Q t is 0.75 - 0.95.
[0092] S8: Optimize the optimal monitoring frequency based on the monitoring network described in S6;
[0093] The monitoring frequency represents the number of sampling times in a unit time step. The optimization of the monitoring frequency is independent of the optimization of the monitoring duration. The optimization of the monitoring frequency can be carried out separately after the optimization of the monitoring network (S6), or it can be carried out after the optimization of both the monitoring network and the monitoring duration (S6 and S7).
[0094] S8.1: Collect the observation information of all the preferred monitoring points in the optimized monitoring network described in S6, adjust the monitoring frequency, and discretize and group the observation information.
[0095] Let the total duration (monitoring duration) simulated when obtaining the calibration data set in S4.2 be T, the initial number of monitoring information be n0, and the initial monitoring frequency be m0. Then, n0 = m0T is satisfied. The monitoring frequency is reduced and grouped using the bisection method. Let the monitoring frequencies m be respectively The parameter y represents the number of groups and can be freely set according to requirements. After the above operations, the observation information is re-divided into y groups, and the corresponding numbers of monitoring information are respectively
[0096] S8.2: Use the discretely grouped observation data as the calibration data set to quantify the change in the value of the observation information with the monitoring frequency.
[0097] Successively introduce the y groups of observation information as the calibration data set into the numerical model described in S1 to carry out parameter inversion. Information such as the parameters to be inverted, initial values, and prior intervals refers to S3.2. Calculate the posterior probability distribution of the parameters corresponding to calibration data sets of different durations, and quantify their data value, R 1m 、R 2m 、R 3m …R ym respectively represent the value of the observation information corresponding to the monitoring frequencies of when.
[0098] S8.3: Weigh the value of the observation information and the potential impact of the monitoring frequency, and optimize the monitoring frequency.
[0099] Theoretically, the value of the observation information will increase with the increase of the monitoring frequency, growing rapidly in the early stage and then gradually stabilizing. The optimized monitoring frequency m can be selected based on the following formula p :
[0100] R mp ≥Q m R m0
[0101] In the formula, R mp represents the value of the observation information corresponding to the monitoring frequency of m p , m p represents the lowest frequency that meets the above formula, R m0 represents the value of the observation information corresponding to the monitoring frequency of m0, and Q m represents the frequency trade-off coefficient. If the impact associated with increasing the monitoring frequency is large, Q m should take a low value. Conversely, Q m can be appropriately increased. Q mThe recommended value range is 0.70 to 0.95.

[0106] Utilize abundant borehole data, physical exploration data and detailed field outcrop observation data in the research area to obtain the geological spatial structure and heterogeneous characteristics of the research area, and construct a geological model reflecting the heterogeneity of the sedimentary structure of the research area through geostatistics and numerical simulation methods.
[0107] The size of the heterogeneous geological model constructed based on the sedimentary structure of the research area is 20km×10km×60m, which is divided into six layers vertically, with each layer having a thickness of 10m. The complex sedimentary continuous structure is discretized into regular unit grids with a size of 1km×0.5km×10m.
[0108] S1.2: In order to reduce the construction difficulty of the numerical model and be more conducive to identifying the inversion accuracy of the heterogeneous characteristic parameters, the parameters of different lithologic media are homogenized respectively. According to the results of grid division, the K-means corresponding to the lithology of each grid is assigned, aiming to eliminate the local heterogeneity within the same lithology.
[0109] S2: Based on the numerical model described in S1, set the positions of alternative groundwater monitoring stations;
[0110] In this embodiment, the research purpose is to plan new monitoring stations for the research area. Therefore, the positions of alternative monitoring stations can be freely set. Horizontally, the alternative monitoring stations are arranged in the heterogeneous geological model in the form of a 3×5 matrix, and vertically, they are arranged at depths of 5m, 15m, 25m, 35m, 45m and 55m, with a total of 90.

[0114] S3.2: Preset the initial values and prior intervals of the inversion parameters;
[0115] Set the initial parameter values according to the historical research data of the study area, set the upper and lower limits of \(K\) based on the mean value of the Darcy experiment results and the typical range of lithology, and set the upper and lower limits of \(\alpha\) based on the relatively small dispersivity at the laboratory scale and empirical values;
[0116] For the detailed information of the inversion parameters, see Table 1 in the appendix.

Calculate the standard error and covariance matrix of the parameters through the PREDUNC and PREDVAR programs in the parameter estimation and uncertainty analysis software PEST suite, and output the parameter estimation values and the parameter covariance matrix. As the number of introduced alternative monitoring stations increases and the amount of observed data increases, the confidence interval of the parameter estimation values output by the program will gradually converge to the "standard value" set in S4.1 until the iterative calculation ends, obtaining the posterior model and outputting the final parameter inversion result, that is, the posterior information.
[0125] S5.1: Complete the parameter input in PEST. When no observed data is introduced, output the prior covariance matrix U(s) of all parameters at each alternative monitoring station, and extract the elements on the diagonal from U(s) to obtain the prior variances of the parameters.

[0137] S7.1: Based on the optimized monitoring station network obtained in S6, select the BTC data of the i (i=1, 2, 3…10) unit time step periods before the research period of each optimized monitoring station one by one, and the monitoring periods are (0-1 day), (0-2 days), (0-3 days)…(0-10 days) respectively. In turn, introduce the 10 sets of observation information as calibration data sets into the groundwater numerical model established in S1, set the parameter-related information according to Table 1, carry out parameter inversion, and output the parameter posterior probability distribution of the calibration data sets corresponding to the 10 sets of different monitoring periods, and calculate the observation information value R1, R2, R3…R 10 .
[0138] S7.2: Weigh the value of observation information against the cost of monitoring time and optimize monitoring duration;
[0139] As time goes on, the value of observation information increases rapidly in the first 4 days, and then gradually stabilizes. Weighing the value of observation information and monitoring costs, we set Q t =0.95, R tp ≥0.95×R 10 =5.127, so it is more appropriate to set the monitoring time to 5 days.
[0140] S8: Optimizing the optimal monitoring frequency based on the optimized monitoring station network described in S7;
[0141] In this embodiment, after the optimization of the monitoring station network arrangement and the optimization of the monitoring duration are completed (S6 and S7), the monitoring frequency is further optimized.
[0142] S8.1: Based on the optimization results of S6 and S7, the observation information of each alternative monitoring station (0-5 days) is extracted (i.e., T′=5 days), the initial sampling frequency is set to m0=1440 times / day (monitoring stations are monitored once every 1 min), the initial number of monitoring information is n0=1440×5=7200, and the monitoring frequency is adjusted by dichotomy (720, 360, ...45, 22...1, 0.5, 0.2 times / day, a total of 13 groups), and the observation information is discretized and reorganized.
[0143] S8.2: Introduce the 13 groups of observation information into the groundwater numerical model established in S1 as calibration datasets in sequence. Set the relevant parameter information according to Table 1, conduct parameter inversion, respectively output the posterior probability distributions of the parameters corresponding to the calibration datasets introduced with 13 different monitoring frequencies, and calculate the observation information values R′1, R′2, R′3…R′ 13 。
[0144] S8.3: Weigh the potential impacts of the observation information value and the monitoring frequency, and optimize the monitoring frequency.
[0145] In this embodiment, the variation of the observation information value of each alternative monitoring station with the monitoring frequency can be seen in the appendix Figure 4 (To more intuitively see the variation of the observation information value, the monitoring frequency in the abscissa is plotted using a logarithmic coordinate axis). Weigh the observation information value against the monitoring cost that climbs with the increase in the monitoring frequency. Let Q m = 0.95, R mp ≥ 0.95 × R 13 = 4.888. Therefore, it is more appropriate to set the monitoring frequency to m p = 22 times per day.
