Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent microseismic monitoring and positioning technology, specifically relating to a method for calculating the ellipse of the plane location signal of microseismic events based on station weighting. Background Technology

[0002] In early warning of dynamic disasters in coal mine rock masses, monitoring of hydraulic fracturing in oil and gas reservoirs, and stability analysis of underground caverns, microseismic monitoring technology uses sensor arrays deployed in the rock mass to collect P-wave and S-wave signals generated by rock mass fracturing, and determines the spatial coordinates and time of origin of the earthquake source based on their arrival time difference.

[0003] Currently, least squares iterative algorithms based on the Gauss-Newton method are the core means of seismic source location. After the location calculation is completed, the covariance matrix of the source parameters is usually solved based on the observed time residuals and the spatial geometric distribution of the stations, and then a plane confidence ellipse at a specific confidence level is drawn to quantify the uncertainty of the location results. However, this traditional method has inherent limitations: First, it assigns equal trust to all stations, without considering anomalous data introduced by local geological anomalies, sensor performance drift, or picking deviations in the arrival of seismic phases; second, such anomalous data not only leads to an increase in the location residuals, but also significantly distorts and amplifies the area and shape of the confidence ellipse due to the coupling effect of the station's geometric configuration, resulting in a serious misjudgment of the location accuracy assessment. Existing technologies lack effective intrinsic mechanisms to identify and suppress the adverse effects of problematic stations on the error ellipse. To effectively solve this problem, there is an urgent need to provide a station-weighted method for calculating the plane location confidence ellipse for microseismic events.

[0014] This invention provides a method for calculating the planar confidence ellipse for microseismic events based on adaptive adjustment of station weights. First, cross-validation using multi-station data allows for rapid preliminary identification of the seismic source range using geometric relationships, providing reliable initial data values ​​for subsequent precise positioning, avoiding blind searches, and significantly improving computational efficiency. Next, linearization transforms the complex nonlinear problem into a solvable system of linear equations. The design of the matrix and the allocation of initial weights lay the foundation for subsequent mathematical optimization, ensuring the algorithm's stability and convergence. Furthermore, the weighted least squares method, by assigning different weights to different observation data, effectively suppresses the influence of outliers, improving positioning accuracy and robustness. The calculated covariance matrix provides a basis for subsequent error analysis. Finally, eigenvalue decomposition transforms the high-dimensional covariance matrix into an intuitive planar confidence ellipse, whose area and direction directly reflect the uncertainty of the seismic source location and the influence of station distribution, providing quantitative indicators for subsequent station optimization. Next, the relative impact of removing or changing the weights of each station on the current confidence ellipse area is quantitatively calculated, and a station influence factor is constructed as an indicator of the station's influence on the confidence ellipse area, thus achieving a scientific and objective quantification of the station's influence. By simulating the working condition of a single missing station, the ellipse area is recalculated; that is, after "removing" a station from the weight matrix, the positioning and covariance matrices are re-solved to obtain the confidence ellipse area. The amplification or reduction effect of each station on the ellipse area is evaluated, effectively quantifying the contribution of each station to positioning accuracy. Based on the influence index, the weights of unsuitable stations are adaptively reduced, while the weights of suitable stations are increased, achieving dynamic adjustment of station weights and optimizing the allocation of station resources. Through the adaptive weight optimization process, accurate and robust estimation of positioning result uncertainty is achieved, significantly improving positioning efficiency. Finally, by monitoring the rate of change of the confidence ellipse area to form a station weight iterative update mechanism, the influence of abnormal stations was effectively suppressed, providing a clear convergence criterion for the algorithm and avoiding unnecessary calculations. Finally, the positioning results and confidence ellipse were recalculated under the convergence weight, ensuring that the algorithm terminated in time after reaching the predetermined accuracy.

[0015] This method is highly adaptive, accurate, and efficient in positioning. It organically combines geometric positioning, mathematical optimization, and dynamic adjustment, which can suppress the amplification effect of abnormal stations or stations with unfavorable geometric layout on the confidence ellipse. Under the premise of ensuring no systematic shift in the source position, it significantly reduces the area of ​​the confidence ellipse and obtains a more realistic range of planar position error. It can realize rapid and accurate positioning operations in microseismic monitoring scenarios, and significantly improve the reliability and engineering application value of microseismic positioning results.

9. The method for calculating the ellipse of a microseismic event plane location signal based on station weighting as described in claim 8, characterized in that, In step five, S52, when or At that time, the first number is obtained according to formula (17). Updates on individual TV stations ; (17); In the formula, For the first The initial weight of each station; The weighting adjustment coefficient satisfies , This is the lower bound of the weights, used to avoid geometric singularities caused by the weights dropping to zero.

10. The method for calculating the ellipse of a microseismic event plane location signal based on station weighting as described in claim 9, characterized in that, In step six, the convergence state is determined by comparing the relative change rate of the confidence ellipse area with the preset convergence threshold. When the formula (18) is satisfied, it is determined that the iterative convergence state has been reached. (18); In the formula, For the first The area of ​​the confidence ellipse obtained in the next iteration. For the first The area of ​​the confidence ellipse obtained in the next iteration; The preset convergence threshold is set to 1% to 5%.
