Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geophysical electromagnetic data exploration technology, specifically to a three-dimensional time-frequency domain electromagnetic joint inversion method based on the finite element algorithm. Background Technology

[0002] Based on domestic demand for mineral resources and the efforts of Chinese scholars, the exploration of mineral resources is becoming increasingly sophisticated. The main methods employed include time-domain electromagnetic methods and frequency-domain electromagnetic methods. The time-domain electromagnetic method uses coils or grounded electrodes to detect underground anomalies by transmitting a pulsed magnetic field during power outages and observing the secondary eddy current field response at different time intervals during the intermittent period, based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The frequency-domain electromagnetic method establishes alternating electric and magnetic fields of different frequencies, and based on their distribution patterns and the differences in resistivity and permeability of the anomaly, it uses the skin effect principle to obtain electrical information of geological bodies at different depths through frequency or distance variations.

[0003] However, conventional time-domain and frequency-domain methods each have their own shortcomings. The time-domain transient electromagnetic method is affected by its propagation mechanism and cannot obtain effective information about deep strata in actual exploration, thus having the limitation of relatively small exploration depth. On the other hand, for the frequency-domain controlled-source electromagnetic method, a large detection depth can be achieved by selecting an appropriate offset distance and a lower frequency band. However, the induced current density of low-frequency signals in shallow layers is extremely small, making it insensitive to differences in shallow electrical properties and difficult to maintain the resolution of shallow layer detection. Furthermore, in actual exploration, shallow layer information is often interfered with by high-frequency noise, resulting in the loss of effective high-frequency data. Summary of the Invention

[0079] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0080] A schematic diagram of a three-dimensional time-frequency domain electromagnetic joint inversion method based on the finite element algorithm according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0081] Time-domain electromagnetic observation data and frequency-domain electromagnetic observation data of the area to be measured are acquired respectively.

[0082] In this embodiment of the invention, array transceivers corresponding to the time domain and frequency domain are first deployed in the area to be tested. The distance between the array transceiver corresponding to the time domain and the area to be tested is a first predetermined distance, and the distance between the array transceiver corresponding to the frequency domain and the area to be tested is a second predetermined distance. The first predetermined distance is less than the second predetermined distance. Corresponding time domain electromagnetic observation data and frequency domain electromagnetic observation data are acquired in the area to be tested through the array transceivers corresponding to the time domain and frequency domain, respectively.

[0083] Specifically, such as Figure 2 The diagram shows an inversion model in an embodiment of the present invention. The area to be measured is set as an undulating terrain with an irregular low-resistivity vein beneath it. Time-frequency domain array transceivers are deployed in the area to be measured. Long conductor sources in the near-measurement area are used to measure electromagnetic observation data in the time domain, and long conductor sources in the far-measurement area are used to measure electromagnetic observation data in the frequency domain. The offset distance of the time-domain transmitter, i.e., the first set distance between the array transceiver corresponding to the time domain and the area to be measured in this embodiment, can be set to 2 km. The offset distance of the frequency-domain transmitter, i.e., the second set distance between the array transceiver corresponding to the frequency domain and the area to be measured in this embodiment, can be set to 8 km. To make the transmitter conform to the terrain, the long conductor source is divided into multiple short conductors in the actual modeling process. Each segment can be approximated as an electric dipole. A total of 51 measuring lines are deployed in the area to be measured, and 31 measuring points are deployed on each measuring line. The distance between the measuring points and the distance between the measuring lines are both 100 m. The resistivity of the half-space in the calculation area is assumed to be 100 Ω·m, and the resistivity of the plate-like vein is assumed to be 1 Ω·m.

[0084] The region to be tested is divided into unstructured tetrahedral meshes, and an initial time-frequency domain inversion model is constructed based on the unstructured tetrahedral meshes.

[0085] Traditional local meshing techniques mostly use structured cells to discretize space. Although structured meshes can obtain sensitivity information, they have poor fitting accuracy for irregular physical property interfaces. In contrast, unstructured local meshes based on tetrahedral cells can flexibly and accurately discretize arbitrarily complex models. At the same time, time-frequency domain electromagnetic three-dimensional inversion requires the use of unstructured tetrahedral meshes to perform dense meshing of local areas, including the time-frequency domain transmitter and the measurement area, according to the location and influence range of the transceiver device. This is the core part, which improves the accuracy of the sensitivity matrix and electromagnetic response parameters required for computational inversion.

[0086] In this embodiment of the invention, the finite element unstructured tetrahedral partitioning method is used to partition the survey area into free tetrahedral elements, thereby realizing the spatial discretization of the model and the initial model construction. For complex model spatial discretization with arbitrary undulating terrain, the tetrahedral partitioning mesh structure file can be constructed based on the surface elevation information of the survey area and the known underground geological interfaces, thereby generating a model mesh that can be used for finite element algorithms.

[0087] Specifically, the model mesh is first constructed by expanding outward from the outer surface of the core region to the extended region, generating a computational region with sparse mesh between the extended region and the core region. This completes the model mesh construction. Furthermore, to facilitate the addition of the first type of Dirichlet boundary condition, the outer boundary of the extended region is defined at a sufficiently far distance from the transceiver device. This unstructured mesh generation scheme ensures high numerical simulation accuracy in the core region while reducing the required mesh size, effectively improving the speed of the inversion algorithm. In this embodiment, the discrete tetrahedral mesh is established using the mesh generation function of the commercial software Comsol. After generating the mesh using Comsol, the mesh file is exported. Subsequent mesh file conversion processes are all completed by a self-developed program module written in Fortran and Maitlab languages.

[0088] The time-frequency domain inversion initial model is subjected to forward modeling calculation using a forward modeling algorithm to obtain time-domain electromagnetic response data and frequency-domain electromagnetic response data.

[0089] In this embodiment of the invention, the electromagnetic forward response data is obtained by numerical simulation calculation based on the unstructured finite element method. The specific implementation method can refer to any of the existing technologies. This invention does not focus too much on the forward calculation process.

[0090] The residuals of time-domain electromagnetic data are obtained from time-domain electromagnetic observation data and time-domain electromagnetic response data, and the residuals of frequency-domain electromagnetic data are obtained from frequency-domain electromagnetic observation data and frequency-domain electromagnetic response data.

[0091] In this embodiment of the invention, the difference between time-domain electromagnetic observation data and time-domain electromagnetic response data obtained by forward modeling is calculated, and this difference is multiplied by the covariance matrix of the time-domain data. The product is then calculated... The norm value is used as the residual of the time-domain electromagnetic data; similarly, the difference between the frequency-domain electromagnetic observation data and the frequency-domain electromagnetic response data obtained by forward modeling is multiplied by the covariance matrix of the frequency-domain data, and the product is calculated. The value obtained from the norm can be used as the residual of the electromagnetic data in the frequency domain.

[0092] Adaptive weights are obtained for the residuals of electromagnetic data in the time domain and the frequency domain, respectively.

[0093] In this embodiment of the invention, the expression for the adaptive weight of the time-domain electromagnetic data residual is:

[0094] ;

[0095] The expression for the adaptive weighting of the frequency domain electromagnetic data residuals is:

[0096] ;

[0097] in, , representing the residual of electromagnetic data in the time domain; , representing the residual of electromagnetic data in the frequency domain.

[0098] In this embodiment of the invention, when the change of a single data residual term in the time domain or frequency domain is less than 5% of the previous change, or when the search step size is unstable, the weighting factor will be adaptively adjusted based on the current time-frequency domain residual according to the above formula, thereby realizing the adaptive weighting of the time-domain electromagnetic data residual and the adaptive weighting of the frequency-domain electromagnetic data residual.

[0099] A joint inversion objective function is established based on the time-domain electromagnetic data residuals and the frequency-domain electromagnetic data residuals and their corresponding adaptive weights.

[0100] Based on regularization theory, the objective function for the three-dimensional inversion of conventional electromagnetic data can be defined as:

In this embodiment of the invention, to achieve three-dimensional joint inversion of time-frequency domain electromagnetic data, the observation data is divided into time-domain observation data and frequency-domain observation data, and the response data is divided into time-domain response data and frequency-domain response data. The joint inversion objective function can then be obtained from the L2 expansion, expressed as:

For time-domain electromagnetic observation data, For frequency domain electromagnetic observation data, For time-domain electromagnetic response data, For frequency domain electromagnetic response data, For adaptive weights of time-domain electromagnetic data residuals, For adaptive weights of frequency domain electromagnetic data residuals, express Norm;

[0105] The joint inversion objective function is solved iteratively based on the quasi-Newton algorithm, and the update vector of the initial inversion model is calculated.

[0106] In this embodiment of the invention, the objective function is first expanded using Taylor and its minimum value is taken to obtain the three-dimensional joint inversion equation, which is expressed as:

[0112] The quasi-Newton algorithm is used to perform inversion calculations based on the gradient of the objective function to obtain the update vector of the initial inversion model.

[0113] In this embodiment of the invention, the obtained three-dimensional joint inversion equation contains a Jacobian matrix term. Therefore, in performing the inversion calculation, this embodiment of the invention needs to use the adjoint forward modeling method to calculate the sensitivity matrix in the three-dimensional joint inversion equation, specifically:
