Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of geological exploration, and particularly relates to a seismic exploration method for active and passive source metal mines. Background Art

[0002] As an important means for exploring deep mineral resources, metal mine seismic exploration technology is currently mainly divided into two types of methods: active source and passive source in practical applications. Among them, since the 1990s, the active source reflection seismic exploration technology has been successfully applied to the detection and research of sedimentary deposits, sulfide deposits, and ore-controlling structures, forming a mature 2D / 3D exploration method system. This method excites seismic waves through artificial seismic sources and analyzes the underground structure by using the characteristics of reflected waves, refracted waves, etc. However, it has significant defects: 1. In 2D exploration, it is difficult to eliminate the interference of side reflection waves and diffracted waves, resulting in imaging distortion of complex-shaped ore bodies and structures; 2. Although 3D exploration can improve the imaging accuracy, the construction cost is high, and it is difficult to be applied on a large scale during the exploration stage.

[0003] As an emerging direction, passive source seismic exploration technology uses natural seismic activities or environmental noise as seismic sources and has the advantages of low cost and environmental friendliness. The metal mine passive source detection project launched by the European Union in 2018 verified the feasibility of this technology, but its inherent defects limit the application scope: 1. The spatio-temporal distribution of natural seismic sources is uncontrollable, resulting in significant differences in data quality; 2. The signal frequency band is relatively narrow, and the exploration resolution is about 30%-50% lower than that of the active source. Especially in the detection of ore body positioning, passive source seismic data is difficult to meet the requirements of fine detection.

[0004] The high-resolution characteristics of active source exploration and the low-cost advantages of passive source exploration are complementary. However, there are currently technical obstacles to their combined application, that is, how to achieve data fusion, complementary advantages, and further improve the imaging accuracy in complex environments through a systematic method based on the hardware facilities provided by sensor technology for hybrid acquisition. The specific problems are mainly manifested as follows: 1. Lack of a hybrid layout scheme for special geological conditions of metal mines; 2. Unable to solve the problem of uneven azimuth distribution of natural field sources in passive source seismic exploration; 3. Difficulty in fusion caused by inconsistent spatio-temporal benchmarks of active and passive source data. To solve the above problems and achieve hybrid acquisition of active and passive source metal mine seismic data, the present invention will provide a systematic active and passive source seismic data fusion acquisition scheme. By constructing a cross + grid observation system and using a hybrid excitation method of artificial seismic sources and natural field sources, it conducts exploration of metal mines and ore-controlling geological bodies, promoting the practical application process of metal mine seismic exploration. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a seismic exploration method for active and passive source metal mines, which solves the technical problem that it is difficult to integrate active source exploration and passive source exploration technologies.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for seismic exploration of active and passive source metal mines, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step S10000: Obtain the geological exploration data of the target area, analyze and judge to obtain the favorable ore-forming parts of the target area;

[0008] Step S20000: Obtain the seismic geological characteristics and the distribution characteristics of natural field sources in the target area;

[0009] Step S30000: According to the obtained geological exploration data, arrange passive source seismographs in a grid pattern in the target area to form a passive source detection grid;

[0010] Step S40000: Arrange active source seismographs in a cross shape in the favorable ore-forming parts to form two active source detection lines;

[0011] Step S50000: Excite artificial source seismic waves and collect the active source seismic data of the active source seismographs and the passive source seismic data of the passive source seismographs, and continue to collect the passive source seismic data of the passive source seismographs after the excitation of the artificial source seismic waves is completed.

[0012] Further, in the above method for seismic exploration of active and passive source metal mines, the geological exploration data includes: geological information, drilling information, and rock physical parameter data of the target area.

[0013] Further, in the above method for seismic exploration of active and passive source metal mines, step S10000 further includes:

[0014] Step S10100: Construct a deposit model according to the geological information and the drilling information, and obtain formation, ore body, and fault structure data;

[0015] Further, in the above method for seismic exploration of active and passive source metal mines, the distance between the passive source seismographs is less than or equal to 50 meters.

[0016] Further, in the above method for seismic exploration of active and passive source metal mines, the distance between the active source seismographs is less than or equal to 10 meters.

[0017] Further, in the above method for seismic exploration of active and passive source metal mines, step S5000 further includes:

[0018] Step S20100: Arrange three of the passive source seismographs in a triangle in the target area, record the passive source seismic data for no less than 48 hours, and analyze the distribution characteristics of the passive source seismic natural field sources in the target area.

[0019] Further, after the step S5000 in the above active-passive source metal ore seismic exploration method, the following steps are also included:

[0020] Step S50100: According to the seismic geological characteristics and the distribution characteristics of the natural field source obtained in the step 20100 and the step S20200, seismic waves are excited in the weak distribution area of the natural field source to supplement the active source seismic signals.

[0021] Further, in the above active-passive source metal ore seismic exploration method, passive source seismic data is continuously collected for at least 20 days.

[0022] Further, in the step S5000 of the above active-passive source metal ore seismic exploration method, active source seismographs are arranged perpendicular and parallel to the strike direction of the ore body or ore-controlling structure of the metal ore.

[0023] The above technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: By arranging active source seismographs in the target area to form two mutually perpendicular active source detection lines, and at the same time arranging passive source seismographs in a grid pattern in the target area, artificial source seismic waves are actively excited to collect active source seismic data through the active source seismographs, and passive source seismic data is collected through the passive source seismographs. In this way, both the active source and passive source methods can be taken into account, solving the problem of integrated acquisition of active-passive source seismic data, reducing the exploration cost while improving the utilization rate of passive source seismic data.

[0026] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments and with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, in the following description, the descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessarily confusing the concepts of the present invention.

[0027] The following will describe the embodiments shown in the present invention with reference to the drawings. Refer to Figure 1 , which shows the flowchart of the steps of this embodiment, including:

[0028] Step S10000: Obtain the geological exploration data of the target area, analyze and judge to obtain the favorable ore-forming parts of the target area;

[0029] Among them, the exploration data includes: geological information of the target area, drilling information, and rock physical parameter data.

[0030] Step S10000 further includes:

[0031] Step S10100: Construct a deposit model based on the geological information and drilling information, and obtain formation, ore body, and fault structure data;

[0032] Step S10200: Obtain rock and ore velocity and density data based on the analysis and testing of samples in the target area or geophysical logging data.

[0033] Step S20000: Obtain the seismic geological characteristics and the distribution characteristics of natural field sources in the target area;

[0034] Step S20000 further includes:

[0035] Step S20100: Use the forward simulation method of wave equation or acoustic wave equation combined with seismic illumination technology to analyze the characteristics of seismic wave fields. Optimize data acquisition parameters and observation systems to obtain the best imaging effect.

[0036] Step S20200: Arrange three passive source seismographs in a triangular shape in the target area, and record passive source seismic data for no less than 48 hours.

[0037] Step S20300: Use the beamforming technology to analyze and estimate the azimuth and horizontal slowness of the noise source signal in the target area based on the characteristic that the wavefronts of plane waves take different times to propagate to different stations, and analyze the distribution characteristics of passive source natural field sources in the target area.

[0038] Step S30000: According to the obtained geological exploration data, seismic geological characteristics, and the distribution characteristics of natural field sources, arrange passive source seismographs in a grid pattern in the target area to form a passive source detection grid;

[0039] According to the geological background and deposit characteristics of the target area, make the distance between the passive source seismographs less than or equal to 50 meters, so as to be more accurate in receiving data related to the strata, rock masses, and structures related to mineralization in the target area.

[0040] Step S40000: Arrange active source seismographs in a cross shape in the favorable ore-forming parts to form two active source detection lines;

[0041] In order to obtain better measurement accuracy, when arranging the active source seismographs, arrange the active source seismographs vertically and parallel to the strike direction of the metal ore body or ore-controlling structure. At the same time, the distance between the active source seismographs is less than or equal to 10 meters.

[0042] Two active source detection lines distributed in a cross shape simultaneously receive active source seismic data, thereby obtaining a cross section passing through the metal ore. Different from traditional 2D seismic data processing methods, the improved two active source detection lines distributed in a cross shape will adopt 3D seismic data processing techniques. According to the actual data quality collected and detection requirements, processing such as pre-stack / post-stack migration and time-depth conversion can be added. The above data collection and processing methods can effectively eliminate the artifacts generated by side reflection waves and diffraction waves during conventional 2D exploration, and can accurately image ore bodies and geological structures with complex shapes. At the same time, compared with 3D exploration, it has a lower construction cost, and compared with 2D exploration, it has a higher exploration accuracy.

[0043] Step S50000: Excite artificial source seismic waves and collect the active source seismic data and passive source seismic data of the active source seismograph. After exciting the artificial source seismic waves, continue to collect the passive source seismic data of the passive source seismograph.

[0044] In order to overcome the influence that traditional passive source seismic data cannot meet the random distribution of noise field sources, resulting in a decrease in detection accuracy, it is also necessary to supplement active source seismic signals to make the distribution of the environmental noise field sources uniform, thereby improving the exploration accuracy of passive source seismic data. Therefore, step S50000 also includes:

[0045] Step S50100: According to the seismic geological characteristics and the distribution characteristics of the natural field sources obtained in step 20100 and step 20200, excite seismic waves in the weak distribution area of the natural field sources to supplement active source seismic signals.

[0046] Step S50200: Decode the active source seismic data, load the shot point and geophone point information of the two cross sections, and create a 3D seismic observation system;

[0047] Step S50300: Edit the seismic traces of the active source seismic data, and remove the signals of bad traces and strong noise interference traces;

[0048] Step S50400: Static correction processing, pick up the first arrival of seismic waves, and apply the method of tomographic static correction to calculate the static correction amounts of the shot points and geophone points of the active source seismic data.

[0049] Step S50500: Data denoising and amplitude compensation, eliminating the energy differences between shot points and geophone points caused by factors such as excitation, reception, and formation anisotropy.

[0050] Specifically, techniques such as band-pass filtering and dip filtering can be used to denoise the data, and surface consistency techniques can be applied to compensate the amplitude.

[0051] Step S50600: Surface consistent deconvolution processing to compress seismic wavelets. By eliminating multiple reflections, ghost reflections, etc., the resolution of seismic signals is improved.

[0052] Step S50700: Velocity analysis and residual static correction processing. By carefully picking up the energy spectrum of the velocity field, a high-precision stacking velocity model is established, and the residual static correction amount is calculated.

[0053] Step S50800: Normal moveout (NMO) correction and stacking. The stacking velocity model is applied to perform dynamic correction and stacking processing to establish a 3D data volume.

[0054] Step S50900: Apply dip moveout (DMO) correction to migrate the reflections of steep dips.

[0055] Step S51000: Post-stack noise suppression. Filtering processing such as random noise, linear interference, surface waves, etc. is carried out on the stacked data volume to enhance the reflection signal.

[0056] Post-stack noise suppression. Filtering processing such as random noise, linear interference, surface waves, etc. is carried out on the stacked data volume to enhance the reflection signal.

[0057] Step S51100: Decode the passive source seismic data, and process the passive source data according to the seismic noise interference technology method to obtain the passive source seismic exploration results;

[0058] To make the measurement results more accurate, it is necessary to continuously collect passive source seismic data for at least 20 days. There are various ways to generate artificial source seismic waves. The explosive can be reasonably selected according to the depth of the metal ore to generate seismic waves, or a controllable seismic vehicle or a drop hammer and other seismic sources can be used to generate seismic waves. When generating seismic waves, it is necessary to ensure that the active source seismographs on the two active source detection lines can receive seismic data.
