Figures 1-4 As shown, where: Figure 3 The information entropy comparison curve in the multi-source data fusion-based medium-deep geothermal resource exploration method provided in this embodiment shows the changes in information entropy of different data sources before and after preprocessing, helping to understand the impact of the preprocessing step on the amount of data information. Figure 4 This embodiment presents a noise level comparison curve in the multi-source data fusion-based method for exploring medium-deep geothermal resources. The curve illustrates the changes in noise variance before and after preprocessing for different data sources, helping to evaluate the noise suppression effect of the preprocessing step. The method includes the following steps:
[0074] Step S1: Collect multi-source data of the target area, including geological data, geophysical data, geochemical data and remote sensing data;
[0075] Step S2: Preprocess the multi-source data, including wavelet packet transform frequency division decomposition, principal component analysis for noise reduction, and normalization.
[0076] Step S3: Construct a Bayesian network model to represent the probabilistic dependencies between data sources, and combine fuzzy inference and information entropy weight allocation (based on dynamic weight adjustment formula) to achieve multi-level data fusion;
[0077] Step S4: Generate a comprehensive anomaly map with confidence rating and delineate potential resource areas, and dynamically optimize model parameters by combining drilling verification and machine learning.
[0078] This method for exploring medium-deep geothermal resources based on multi-source data fusion can integrate the advantages of different types of data through the fusion processing of multi-source data, comprehensively characterize the potential features of geothermal resources in the target area, improve the systematicness of the exploration process and the accuracy of resource identification; dynamic optimization of model parameters can make the method adaptable to different exploration scenarios, enhancing the adaptability and reliability of the overall process.
[0079] In step S1:
[0080] Geological data includes stratigraphy, fault structures, and hydrogeological parameters;
[0081] Geophysical data includes resistivity data (accuracy ≤ 0.1 Ω·m), gravity data (resolution ≤ 0.1 mGal), and seismic shear wave velocity structure data;
[0082] Geochemical data include the chemical composition and isotopic composition of groundwater;
[0083] The remote sensing data includes thermal infrared radiation images (spatial resolution ≤1m) and multispectral vegetation index data.
[0084] This plan clarifies the specific content and accuracy requirements of various types of data, ensuring that the collected data covers multiple dimensions of information such as geology, physical properties, chemical properties, and remote sensing, providing comprehensive and high-precision basic data support for subsequent fusion analysis, and avoiding exploration deviations caused by missing data or insufficient accuracy.
[0085] The preprocessing in step S2 includes:
[0086] Step S2a: Use dual-tree complex wavelet transform to decompose the original data into frequency bands, and filter out high-frequency noise and low-frequency drift;
[0087] Step S2b: Perform principal component analysis on the data of each frequency band and extract principal component reconstruction data with a contribution rate ≥ 85%;
[0088] Step S2c: Normalize the multi-source data based on the improved Z-score method to eliminate dimensional differences.
[0089] This scheme employs wavelet packet transform for frequency division and noise reduction, principal component analysis for dimensionality reduction, and normalization in the preprocessing stage. This effectively removes noise interference from the data, reduces data redundancy, and unifies the dimensions, thereby improving the quality and compatibility of multi-source data and laying a high-quality data foundation for subsequent fusion modeling.
[0090] In step S3:
[0091] Fuzzy inference uses a Gaussian membership function to quantize feature mapping;
[0092] The information entropy weights are dynamically adjusted based on the uncertainty of each data source. The weight allocation formula is as follows:
[0093] in,
[0094] in:
[0095] H i : Information entropy of the i-th data source, representing data uncertainty;
[0096] λ: Fusion sensitivity coefficient (value ranges from 0.5 to 2.0), which controls the degree of concentration in weight allocation;
[0097] σ 2 The noise variance of the data source is calculated through the preprocessing module;
[0098] ∈: Smoothing constant (default 1e-5) to prevent the denominator from being zero.
[0099] This scheme dynamically adjusts weights based on information entropy and noise level, and can adaptively allocate fusion weights according to the uncertainty of the data, so that low-noise, high-determinism data dominates the fusion process, avoiding the limitations of traditional fixed-weight methods and improving the fusion results' resistance to data fluctuations.
[0100] Example:
[0101] During the data fusion phase, the weights of each data source are dynamically adjusted based on their information entropy and noise levels.
[0102] For example:
[0103] Geophysical data has low noise variance (σ) 2 =0.02), Information entropy H i =0.3, then the weight is relatively high;
[0104] High noise variance in remote sensing data σ 2 =0.15), Information entropy H i =0.8, then the weight is low.
[0105] Technical effects:
[0106] By combining the exponential function with noise variance, higher weights are given to low-noise, high-deterministic data.
[0107] The weight allocation is adaptively adjusted, avoiding the rigidity problem of traditional weighted averages and improving the robustness of the fusion results.
[0108] Working principle and process:
[0109] 1. The preprocessing module calculates σ for each data source. 2 ;
[0110] 2. The information entropy module calculates H. i ;
[0111] 3. Dynamically generate weight w based on the formula. i Input fusion model.
[0112] The multi-level data fusion in step S3 includes:
[0113] Step S3a: Infer the probabilistic relationships between data sources based on Bayesian networks;
[0114] Step S3b: Use the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory to resolve the problem of merging conflicting evidence;
[0115] Step S3c: Dynamically adjust the fusion weight coefficients using the particle swarm optimization algorithm;
[0116] The fusion of conflicting evidence employs a modified Dempster combination rule:
[0117]
[0118] in:
[0119] ψ(B,C)=exp(-β·|conf(B,C)|): Conflict attenuation factor, β is the attenuation coefficient (value 1~3);
[0120] conf(B,C): The degree of conflict between evidence B and C, calculated by the fuzzy inference engine;
[0121] K: The number of conflicts in the traditional Dempster rule;
[0122] δ: Conflict compensation term (δ=0.1K), to prevent the denominator from being too small.
[0123] This scheme combines multi-level data fusion with Bayesian network probabilistic reasoning, improved evidence theory conflict handling, and particle swarm optimization dynamic weighting. It can effectively handle conflicts and uncertainties among multi-source data, alleviate the sensitivity of traditional fusion methods to highly conflicting evidence, and improve the stability and credibility of fusion results in complex data scenarios.
[0124] Example:
[0125] When resistivity data (evidence B) conflicts with seismic data (evidence C) (conf(B,C)=0.6), the weight of the conflicting evidence is reduced by an attenuation factor ψ. For example:
[0126] When β = 2, ψ = exp(-2 × 0.6) ≈ 0.30, which significantly suppresses the influence of conflicting evidence.
[0127] Technical effects:
[0128] An exponential conflict decay factor is introduced to alleviate the sensitivity of the traditional Dempster rule to highly conflicting evidence.
[0129] The conflict compensation term δ avoids numerical instability under extreme conflict scenarios and improves fusion reliability.
[0130] Working principle and process:
[0131] The fuzzy inference engine calculates the degree of conflict between pieces of evidence, conf(B,C).
[0132] Adjust the weights of the evidence combination based on ψ(B,C);
[0133] Output the corrected fusion result m(A).
[0134] The dynamic optimization of model parameters in step S4 includes:
[0135] Step S4a: Obtain underground rock core and water sample data through drilling;
[0136] Step S4b: Compare the fusion results with the actual data using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm, and calculate the error rate;
[0137] Step S4c: If the error rate exceeds the threshold, adjust the Bayesian network parameters and fuzzy membership function in reverse.
[0138] This approach utilizes drilling data and machine learning algorithms to dynamically optimize model parameters, and uses actual exploration data to correct the theoretical model, forming a closed loop of "exploration-verification-optimization" to ensure that the fused model matches the actual geological conditions and continuously improve the accuracy of resource exploration.
[0139] Step S4 further includes:
[0140] A three-dimensional geological-thermodynamic coupled model was constructed based on the fusion results. The model includes:
[0141] Three-dimensional mesh model of stratigraphy and lithology (resolution ≤ 50m);
[0142] Three-dimensional distribution model of fracture structure;
[0143] Dynamic distribution field of rock thermal conductivity.
[0144] This scheme constructs a three-dimensional geological-thermodynamic coupled model to model the spatial distribution of strata lithology, fracture structure and thermal conductivity, and intuitively presents the occurrence environment of underground hot water resources, providing a three-dimensional spatial dimension quantitative analysis basis for resource potential assessment.
[0145] The three-dimensional geological-thermodynamic coupling model also includes a fracture network spatial distribution model, a geothermal heat flow spatial distribution model, a thermodynamic model, and a fluid flow model, enabling the three-dimensional geological-thermodynamic coupling model to achieve the following technical improvements on the original basis:
[0146] 1. Slit network modeling:
[0147] Precisely characterizing the spatial distribution of underground fissures reveals key channels for hot water migration and the distribution of reservoir spaces, providing a structural basis for the analysis of resource endowment patterns.
[0148] 2. Analysis of Earth's heat flow distribution:
[0149] Quantifying regional geothermal anomaly characteristics and combining them with dynamic thermal conductivity fields can locate heat flow enrichment areas and enhance the spatial orientation of resource potential assessment.
[0150] 3. Simulation of thermodynamic behavior:
[0151] By coupling the temperature field with rock thermal properties, the heat transfer process and thermal equilibrium state of the reservoir are simulated to assess the long-term stability and sustainable development potential of the reservoir.
[0152] 4. Fluid flow dynamics prediction:
[0153] Based on the non-Darcy flow equation and fracture network model, the pressure distribution, flow path and dynamic response of underground hot water after extraction are simulated to optimize the development scheme design.
[0154] Overall technical effect
[0155] The newly added sub-model, through multiphysics coupling, achieves a comprehensive analysis of the geothermal resource occurrence environment, including geological structure, thermodynamic properties, and fluid dynamic behavior. Its technical effects are manifested in:
[0156] Refined modeling: expanding from single geological structures to multi-field coupling of heat, fluid and force, improving the ability to characterize complex reservoirs;
[0157] Dynamic prediction capability: Combining fluid flow models and thermodynamic simulations, it supports visualized prediction and risk assessment of the resource extraction process;
[0158] Decision support upgrade: By integrating geothermal flow and fracture network data, scientific basis is provided for target area selection, well location deployment and development strategy formulation.
[0159] In summary, the supplementary scheme, through the combination of multi-dimensional modeling and dynamic simulation, significantly enhances the comprehensive analysis and prediction capabilities of the three-dimensional coupled model, providing more comprehensive technical support for the accurate exploration and efficient development of underground hot water resources.
[0160] The three-dimensional geological-thermodynamic coupled model solves the non-Darcy flow heat conduction equation using the finite volume method. Combined with Monte Carlo simulation to assess the uncertainty in resource quantity prediction, the solution to the non-Darcy flow heat conduction equation adopts the following modified form:
[0161]
[0162] Parameter description:
[0163] Nonlinear flow coefficient, where φ is porosity, μ is fluid viscosity, and k is permeability;
[0164] γ: Temperature decay coefficient (value range 0.01 to 0.1), characterizing the effect of high temperature on flow resistance;
[0165] P: Fluid pressure field, obtained through fluid dynamics simulation.
[0166] This scheme improves the solution method for non-Darcy flow heat conduction equations by introducing a temperature-dependent energy dissipation term, accurately characterizing the coupling relationship between underground fluid flow and heat conduction under high-temperature conditions, and combining Monte Carlo simulation to assess prediction uncertainties, thereby enhancing the scientificity and accuracy of resource quantity calculations under complex thermal reservoir conditions.
[0167] Example:
[0168] In high-temperature reservoirs (T>150℃), e -γT This significantly reduces flow energy loss. For example:
[0169] When γ = 0.05 and T = 200℃, e -0.05×200 ≈0.0067, reflecting the inhibitory effect of high temperature on flow.
[0170] Technical effects:
[0171] By introducing a temperature-dependent exponential term, the energy dissipation of non-Darcy flow under high-temperature conditions can be characterized more accurately.
[0172] By combining a porosity-permeability dynamic correlation model, the accuracy of resource quantity inversion can be improved.
[0173] Working principle and process:
[0174] 1. The fluid dynamics module calculates the pressure field P;
[0175] 2. Input temperature field T into the thermodynamics module;
[0176] 3. Solve the equations simultaneously to output the three-dimensional thermal reservoir distribution.
