Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to marine electromagnetic exploration technology, and specifically to a deep-sea hydrothermal sulfide anisotropy detection system and method. Background Art

[0002] Deep-sea hydrothermal sulfides, a key reservoir of deep-sea mineral resources, are rich in a variety of mineral metals. Their significant electrical anisotropy (resistivity anisotropy coefficients of up to 3-5 times) poses a technical challenge to traditional marine controlled-source electromagnetic methods. Currently available detection methods face technical limitations in detecting anisotropic targets: single-axis transmitting systems with fixed polarization directions struggle to achieve full-space electromagnetic field vector coverage and exhibit low sensitivity to anisotropic targets such as hydrothermal sulfides. In complex deep-sea terrain, single-axis transmitting systems cannot dynamically adjust polarization directions to compensate for detection blind spots, making it difficult to identify the complex electrical structure of hydrothermal sulfides. This leads to the risk of multiple solutions in three-dimensional electrical structure inversion. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN115419403A utilizes high-voltage DC energy storage and shock wave conversion technology to achieve high-power downhole excitation, but it lacks the ability to generate a dynamically rotating polarization field, resulting in inaccurate identification of the anisotropic principal axis of layered conductive targets.

[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0040] In this application, the target detection area is located in the deep sea, with the horizontal plane as the interface, the medium above the horizontal plane is medium I, and the medium below the horizontal plane is medium II.

[0041] This application mainly constructs a transmitting system of three-axis orthogonal transmitting coils, and realizes a multi-frequency composite transmitting mode by independently controlling the current parameters of the three-axis coils: establishing a dynamic circular polarization transmitting mode of the X / Y-axis coils, combined with the depth adaptation transmitting mode of the Z-axis coil to form a three-dimensional rotating polarization electromagnetic field; collecting multi-component magnetic field response data of the target area through electromagnetic sensing movement in the seabed hole; finally, calculating the anisotropic response ratio parameters based on the received magnetic field analysis, and determining the direction of the main axis of conductivity anisotropy.

[0042] See also Figure 1 The structural block diagram of a deep-sea hydrothermal sulfide anisotropy detection system is shown in FIG. Figure 2 The figure shows the position and structure of the launch system of a deep-sea hydrothermal sulfide anisotropy detection system during detection. The present application discloses a deep-sea hydrothermal sulfide anisotropy detection system, comprising:

[0043] A transmitting system, a three-component synchronous receiving system, a three-axis synchronous control system and a processor, wherein: the transmitting system includes an X-axis coil whose normal is located on the X-axis, a Y-axis coil whose normal is located on the Y-axis and a Z-axis coil whose normal is located on the Z-axis to form an orthogonal structure; the X-axis coil, the Y-axis coil and the Z-axis coil are multi-turn coils, which can be square or circular. For ease of understanding, a rectangular coordinate system is established. The X-axis coil refers to a normal vector perpendicular to the plane of the X-axis coil and parallel to the X-axis. The Y-axis coil refers to a normal vector perpendicular to the plane of the Y-axis coil and parallel to the Y-axis. The plane where the Z-axis coil is located is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the normal vector is parallel to the Z-axis. Usually, the X-axis coil, the Y-axis coil and the Z-axis coil are set to the same size. The X-axis coil, the Y-axis coil and the Z-axis coil can use Helmholtz coils.

[0044] The three-component synchronous receiving system includes a three-axis receiving coil located in the seabed hole, which moves at a spacing less than one-tenth of the skin depth and continuously collects magnetic field strength, polarization direction, and three-dimensional spatial coordinates at each receiving node;

[0045] The three-component synchronous receiving system includes sensors with three orthogonal receiving coils for measuring physical quantities in the X, Y, and Z directions. Synchronization ensures simultaneous signal acquisition across the three channels through clock synchronization or GPS timing. The triaxial receiving coils can be housed in a waterproof housing and carried into the seabed borehole via a suspension or other portable structure. The speed of movement can be controlled by a motor. The skin depth, defined as the depth at which the amplitude of an electromagnetic wave propagating through a conductive medium decays to 1 / e of its initial value, can be calculated using the skin depth formula. The term "moving at intervals less than one-tenth of the skin depth" refers to the use of multiple receiving nodes, with spacing between them less than one-tenth of the skin depth. The triaxial receiving coils stop at each receiving node and collect data.

[0046] For example: the three-component synchronous receiving system moves along the vertical channel (seabed hole) at a spacing of 0.5m, and the receiving nodes are set in the depth range of 0-10m (the depth interval of each receiving node is 0.5m). The modulus value of the induced magnetic flux density in different polarization directions is recorded at each receiving node, and the polarization direction and the node position coordinates of the receiving coil at each moment are recorded to form a multi-dimensional electromagnetic field response data set covering the target detection area.

[0047] The three-axis synchronous control system uses multi-frequency orthogonal current signals with a 90° phase difference. It dynamically adjusts the current amplitude to control the X- and Y-axis coils to generate a circularly polarized electromagnetic field with controllable rotation direction in the horizontal plane, while also supplying a constant current to the Z-axis coil. The current amplitude in the X- and Y-axis coils varies sinusoidally over time, maintaining the same frequency and a 90° phase difference. A circularly polarized electromagnetic field refers to a circular trajectory traced by the endpoints of the electromagnetic field vector over time in a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Circular polarization can be categorized as right-handed circular polarization or left-handed circular polarization, depending on the direction of rotation of the electromagnetic field vector.

[0048] The three-axis synchronous control system can control a multi-frequency current source to provide the same current source for the X-axis coil, the Y-axis coil and the Z-axis coil, including a three-channel current source with an output current range of ±20A and a frequency range of 0.1Hz-20kHz.

[0049] See also Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the circularly polarized electromagnetic field is shown. When the polarization direction When the magnetic field direction is ;when When the magnetic field direction is Polarization direction When the magnetic field direction is , polarization direction When the magnetic field direction is , polarization direction When the magnetic field direction is , polarization direction When the magnetic field direction is , polarization direction When the magnetic field direction is , polarization direction When the magnetic field direction is , and so on, that is, when the polarization direction exist The magnetic field changes with the direction within the plane, such as shown.

[0050] The processor performs spectrum analysis on the signal received by the three-component synchronous receiving system, determines the frequency of the received signal, and extracts the complex amplitude response of each polarization direction on the frequency. Based on the complex amplitude response, the anisotropic response ratio of each polarization direction in the horizontal plane is calculated, and the dominant axis direction of the conductivity anisotropy is determined based on the anisotropic response ratio. Spectral analysis can convert the time domain signal into the frequency domain signal through fast Fourier transform, thereby obtaining the spectrum of the signal, and obtaining the received signal frequency from the spectrum. The complex amplitude response refers to the amplitude and phase information of the signal. Extracting the complex amplitude response of each polarization direction on the frequency refers to The amplitude and phase information of the signal in the polarization direction within the range.

[0051] Conductivity anisotropy means that the conductivity in different directions is different. Determining the dominant axis direction of conductivity anisotropy is used to characterize the layered structure and spatial distribution characteristics of hydrothermal sulfide ore bodies.

[0052] In one embodiment, the Z-axis coil forms an independent detection channel. The minimum effective current flowing into the Z-axis coil is calculated based on the minimum field strength required for the target layer. Based on the skin depth and dielectric conductivity characteristics of the target layer, the minimum field strength required is inferred through the electromagnetic wave attenuation model, and the effective current is calculated for excitation to ensure that the electromagnetic field effectively penetrates into the deep target layer. Specifically, the minimum effective current Calculated by the following formula:

[0053] ,

[0054] in, is the sensitivity of the receiving device (i.e., minimum field strength), is the maximum transmit and receive distance, is the target layer burial depth, is the skin depth, is the vacuum permeability, is the number of turns of the Z-axis coil, is the Z-axis coil transmission frequency, is the Z-axis coil geometry factor, is the system efficiency factor.

[0055] In one embodiment, a three-axis synchronous control system generates multi-frequency orthogonal current signals with a phase difference of 90° in the X-axis coil and the Y-axis coil. The multi-frequency orthogonal current signals are:

[0056] ,

[0057] ,

[0058] in, is the transmission frequency of the multi-frequency orthogonal current signal, is the X-axis coil emission current amplitude, is the Y-axis coil emission current amplitude, is the emission current.

[0059] In one embodiment, the processor calculates the anisotropic response ratio in each polarization direction in the horizontal plane according to the complex amplitude response, including:

[0060] Calculate the modulus of the induced magnetic flux density in different polarization directions based on the complex amplitude response;

[0061] The ratio of the modulus of the induced magnetic flux density in different polarization directions of the three-axis receiving coil at the receiving node to the minimum modulus of the induced magnetic flux density in all polarization directions of the three-axis receiving coil at the same receiving node is calculated to obtain the anisotropic response ratio.

[0062] The anisotropic response ratio is:

[0063] ,

[0064] in, It is the minimum value of the modulus of the induced magnetic flux density in all polarization directions of the triaxial receiving coil at a certain receiving node. is the modulus of the induced magnetic flux density of the three-axis receiving coil in different polarization directions at the receiving node , is the anisotropic response ratio, and the distribution curve of the anisotropic response ratio is calculated. When the maximum value is obtained, the corresponding polarization direction That is, the principal axis direction of the conductivity tensor at the receiving node. When the anisotropic response ratio is detected to be greater than 1.3, it is determined that an anisotropic target exists.

[0065] For example, Figure 4 (a) Different polarization directions at the receiving node 6m depth The change of magnetic flux density under Figure 4 (b) Changes in the anisotropic response ratio. The minimum value of the magnetic flux density is 134.4 nT, which occurs at = 180°; the maximum value is 187.7 nT, which occurs at = 90°. The maximum anisotropic response ratio is calculated to be 1.40, corresponding to the magnetic field direction =90°, which is the direction of the anisotropy principal axis at the receiving node at a depth of 6 meters.

[0066] like Figure 5 The figure shows the maximum value of the anisotropic response ratio at each receiving node position, from seabed basalt (isotropic medium) to sulfide anomaly (anisotropic medium) on the seabed. When the anisotropic response ratio is detected to be greater than 1.3, an anisotropic target is determined to exist.

A constant current is passed through the Z-axis coil. The X-axis coil, the Y-axis coil, and the Z-axis coil form an orthogonal structure.

[0069] The three-axis receiving coil located in the seabed hole moves at a spacing less than one-tenth of the skin depth and continuously collects magnetic field strength, polarization direction, and three-dimensional spatial coordinates at each receiving node;

[0070] The data collected by the three-axis receiving coil is subjected to spectrum analysis to determine the received signal frequency, and the complex amplitude response of each polarization direction on the frequency is extracted.
