Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of geophysical exploration technology, specifically to a method for correcting power frequency interference in pre-stack data of transient electromagnetic exploration. Background Technology
[0002] Transient electromagnetic (TEM) methods are widely used in mineral exploration, coal mine hydrogeological surveys, and engineering geology. Higher quality raw TEM data from field observations leads to higher exploration accuracy. However, with the continuous development of national industrialization, most exploration areas now have high-voltage power lines, resulting in low signal-to-noise ratios in the raw TEM data and affecting actual exploration accuracy. To suppress or eliminate this power frequency electromagnetic interference, notch filters are often added to the instrument design to target the interfering frequency. However, this method is not entirely effective. To address this problem, geophysicists have incorporated various filtering algorithms into post-processing data to suppress interference.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN108776357B discloses a method and apparatus for correcting electromagnetic interference in transient electromagnetic methods in sedimentary formations. It suppresses noise data by performing polynomial fitting on densely sampled transient electromagnetic data. Chinese invention patent CN116449438B discloses a reference denoising device and method for transient electromagnetic methods. It estimates the ambient electromagnetic noise collected by the signal coil by adding a set of reference coils to receive ambient electromagnetic noise, thereby obtaining the denoised transient electromagnetic signal.
[0004] The aforementioned existing technologies all start from transient electromagnetic superposition data, which leads to the periodic power frequency signal becoming complicated in the process of positive and negative square wave superposition, and thus does not satisfy the harmonic equation. Regardless of whether polynomial fitting or other filtering methods such as electromagnetic interference estimation are used, the effect of suppressing power frequency interference signals is limited, thereby affecting the exploration results.
