Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geophysical exploration technology, and in particular to a vertical finite-length line source electromagnetic exploration apparent resistivity imaging method. Background Technology

[0002] In geophysical electromagnetic exploration, changes in the electrical properties of the subsurface medium can affect the propagation of electromagnetic waves, thereby causing changes in the observed electric field response. Analyzing the propagation characteristics of the electromagnetic field and inverting the observation data is the key to constructing subsurface geological models.

[0003] However, traditional inversion methods typically rely on prior knowledge to establish an initial geological model and then iteratively refine it to make the forward modeling results increasingly approximate actual observation data. While this method is widely used, each iteration requires a new numerical forward modeling calculation, which is extremely computationally demanding, especially when dealing with complex three-dimensional structures. This results in a lengthy inversion process, becoming a major technical bottleneck for achieving real-time interpretation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vertical finite-length line source electromagnetic exploration resistivity imaging method that improves the efficiency and accuracy of resistivity calculation and enhances the ability to identify underground anomalies, in order to address the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A vertical finite-length line source electromagnetic exploration resistivity imaging method includes: Based on the uniform half-space model, the vertical finite-length line source is regarded as an electric dipole model. The analytical expression of the radial electric field response of the well electromagnetic field of the vertical finite-length line source on the ground is derived, and it is determined that the electric field response has a monotonically decreasing relationship with the conductivity of the underground medium. A vertical finite-length current source is placed perpendicular to the ground into an underground medium to generate an electromagnetic field; multiple receivers are arranged on the ground surface to receive the radial electric field response signal generated by the current source. The radial electric field response data of the ground is obtained. The input includes the current magnitude, the starting and ending depths of the vertical finite-length current source, the emission frequency and the radial distance. The conductivity search interval is set. The electric field response is calculated according to the analytical formula of the radial electric field response. The electric field response is calculated by comparing the preset value and the measured value of the electric field response with the measured value through the recursive bisection method, and the interval is adjusted until convergence. The conductivity value of the underground medium is calculated iteratively, and the reciprocal is taken to obtain the apparent resistivity value. Draw an apparent resistivity distribution map of the underground medium based on the obtained apparent resistivity values; Anomalies were identified and their distribution was determined based on the apparent resistivity distribution map.

[0006] Furthermore, the analytical expression for the radial electric field response is derived by introducing the magnetic vector potential and using the Hankel transform and its inverse transform to solve the quasi-static Maxwell's equations neglecting displacement current in the frequency domain. The analytical expression for the radial electric field response is:

[0007] In the formula: E r线 σ1 is the radial electric field intensity, and σ2 is the dielectric conductivity. ε The medium constant, μ Permeability, λ Let be the integration constant. ω Angular frequency, f Where h1 is the transmission frequency, h2 is the depth of the starting point of the line source, and J1 is the depth of the ending point of the line source. λ r) is a first-order Bessel function.

[0008] Furthermore, the calculation steps of the recursive bisection method are as follows: Define the solution interval for underground conductivity [σ] min ,σ max and accuracy β And calculate the initial value σ. mid = (σ min +σ max ) / 2; The initial value σ mid Substituting into the analytical expression for the radial electric field response, the theoretical value of the electric field response is calculated. E r0 and compared with the measured electric field response value E r When comparing, the measured electric field response value E r Greater than the theoretical value of electric field response E r0 At that time, determine whether the difference meets the precision requirement. β If the condition is met, then output σ at this time. mid Otherwise, adjust the solution interval to [σ]. mid , σ max When the measured electric field response value E r Less than the theoretical value of electric field response E r0 At that time, determine whether the difference meets the precision requirement. β If the condition is met, then output σ at this time. mid Otherwise, adjust the solution interval to [σ]. min , σ mid Repeat the above steps until the conductivity value at each measuring point is obtained.

[0009] Furthermore, based on the location of the measuring point and its corresponding apparent resistivity, Kriging interpolation is used to draw an apparent resistivity contour map within the measuring point area.

[0010] Furthermore, when anomalies and spatial distribution characteristics of anomalous bodies appear in a certain area of ​​the apparent resistivity contour map, it can be determined that there are anomalous bodies in the underground medium, and it can be distinguished as low-resistivity or high-resistivity bodies.

[0011] Furthermore, when a vertical finite-length current source is located below the anomalous body, the apparent resistivity anomaly location closely matches the actual anomalous body location.

[0012] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing program code that, when executed, can implement the above-described vertical finite-length line source electromagnetic exploration resistivity imaging method.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention constructs a forward model of the electric field response, decomposing a finite-length line source into a superposition of multiple electric dipoles. Simultaneously, utilizing the monotonic relationship between the electric field amplitude and the resistivity of the medium, a recursive bisection method is employed to solve the problem, transforming the nonlinear equation solution into an efficient interval convergence process. Furthermore, this invention supports the generation of apparent resistivity contour maps based on the actual survey network layout, clearly presenting the lateral variations of underground electrical structures and effectively delineating the planar distribution range of anomalies. Moreover, by analyzing the apparent resistivity response characteristics of the line source and the anomaly at different relative positions, this invention can infer the burial depth information of the anomaly, achieving a comprehensive judgment of the anomaly's spatial location.

[0021] Recursive binary search: By continuously dividing the interval to be searched into half and judging the interval where the target value may be located based on the result of the intermediate value, the search range is reduced by half, gradually approaching the target solution until the predetermined accuracy requirement is met.

[0022] This invention provides a vertical finite-length line source electromagnetic exploration resistivity imaging method, comprising: Based on the uniform half-space model, the vertical finite-length line source is regarded as an electric dipole model. The analytical expression of the radial electric field response of the well electromagnetic field of the vertical finite-length line source on the ground is derived, and it is determined that the electric field response has a monotonically decreasing relationship with the conductivity of the underground medium. A vertical finite-length current source is placed perpendicular to the ground into an underground medium to generate an electromagnetic field; multiple receivers are arranged on the ground surface to receive the radial electric field response signal generated by the current source. The radial electric field response data of the ground is obtained. The input includes the current magnitude, the starting and ending depths of the vertical finite-length current source, the emission frequency and the radial distance. The conductivity search interval is set. The electric field response is calculated according to the analytical formula of the radial electric field response. The electric field response is calculated by comparing the preset value and the measured value of the electric field response with the measured value through the recursive bisection method, and the interval is adjusted until convergence. The conductivity value of the underground medium is calculated iteratively, and the reciprocal is taken to obtain the apparent resistivity value. Draw an apparent resistivity distribution map of the underground medium based on the obtained apparent resistivity values; Anomalies were identified and their distribution was determined based on the apparent resistivity distribution map.

[0023] Preferably, the spacing between the survey lines of multiple surface receivers is 50-100 meters, and the number of survey points on each survey line is 20-50, so as to cover the exploration area and reduce boundary effects.

[0024] The analytical expression for the radial electric field response is derived by introducing the magnetic vector potential and using the Hankel transform and its inverse transform to solve the quasi-static Maxwell's equations neglecting displacement current in the frequency domain. The analytical expression for the radial electric field response is:

[0025] In the formula: E r线 σ1 is the radial electric field intensity, and σ2 is the dielectric conductivity. ε The medium constant, μ Permeability, λ Let be the integration constant. ω Angular frequency, f Where h1 is the transmission frequency, h2 is the depth of the starting point of the line source, and J1 is the depth of the ending point of the line source. λ r) is a first-order Bessel function; The calculation steps of the recursive bisection method are as follows: Define the solution interval for underground conductivity [σ] min ,σ max and accuracy β And calculate the initial value σ. mid = (σ min +σ max ) / 2; The initial value σ mid Substituting into the analytical expression for the radial electric field response, the theoretical value of the electric field response is calculated. E r0 and compared with the measured electric field response value E r When comparing, the measured electric field response value E r Greater than electric field response Theoretical value E r0At that time, determine whether the difference meets the precision requirement. β If the condition is met, then output σ at this time. mid Otherwise, adjust the solution interval to [σ]. mid , σ max When the measured electric field response value E r Less than the theoretical value of electric field response E r0 At that time, determine whether the difference meets the precision requirement. β If the condition is met, then output σ at this time. mid Otherwise, adjust the solution interval to [σ]. min , σ mid Repeat the above steps until the conductivity value at each measuring point is obtained.

[0026] The apparent resistivity imaging includes: converting the final output conductivity result into an apparent resistivity value. ρ = 1 / σ And read the corresponding measurement point coordinates ( x, y, 0); Using the Kriging interpolation principle, the resistivity value of each grid node is calculated based on the resistivity values ​​of the surrounding measuring points to form a continuous resistivity data volume. Then, the final resistivity result and its corresponding measuring point coordinates are used to perform apparent resistivity imaging.

[0027] This invention can analyze the characteristics of anomalous bodies by drawing contour maps based on apparent resistivity, including the spatial distribution of low-resistivity and high-resistivity bodies; and evaluate the range and depth of anomalous response by changing the position of the line source relative to the anomalous body.

[0028] Specifically, the present invention can verify the accuracy of the method by setting the anomaly body as a cube with a size of 200m×200m×100m and a burial depth of 500-1500 meters, placing the line source above or below the anomaly body, comparing the apparent resistivity anomaly pattern, distinguishing the electrical contrast, and restoring the real geological structure. It has been verified that when the vertical finite-length current source is located below the anomaly body, the location of the apparent resistivity anomaly highly matches the location of the real anomaly body.

[0029] Furthermore, this invention also verifies the monotonically decreasing relationship between the electric field response and the conductivity of the underground medium. Specifically, a forward modeling simulation was established with the starting depth of the line source at 450m and the ending depth at 500m, the current magnitude at 100A, the frequency at 100Hz, and the receiving point coordinates at (50,0,0), (400,0,0), and (800,0,0), with radial distances from the transmitting source of 50m, 400m, and 800m, respectively. The conductivity range of the ground was set to 10. -4~1S / m, combining the electric field responses at the same measuring point and frequency under different ground conductivity conditions, yields schematic diagrams of the radial electric field responses obtained at the same measuring point under different parameter conditions, as shown in the figure. Figure 10 As shown, at the same receiving point, there is a one-to-one correspondence between Er and resistivity, and Er is a monotonically decreasing function of the conductivity of the underground medium. Therefore, there is an obvious "binary" characteristic between the radial electric field response value and the resistivity value at each measuring point, thus determining that the conductivity can be calculated using the bisection method.

[0030] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions stored thereon, the instructions being adapted to be loaded by a processor and executed to realize automated data processing and calculation result output.

The resistivity of the stratum is 500 Ω·m. The resistivity of the anomaly is set to 10 Ω·m and 10000 Ω·m respectively (the preset resistivity is only for verification purposes and does not affect the normal procedure of this embodiment). The size of the anomaly is 250m × 600m × 100m (x, y, z order); the four corners above the anomaly... The coordinates of the first point are (150, 300, -950), (400, 300, -950), (150, -300, -950), and (400, -300, -950), respectively. The coordinates of the four lower corners are (150, 300, -1050), (400, 300, -1050), (150, -300, -1050), and (400, -300, -1050), respectively. The coordinates of the center point are (275, 0, -1000). The coordinate range of the horizontal projection anomaly is... x =150~400, y =-300~300, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown in the black box in the middle. A vertical finite-length line source was placed below the anomaly for detection simulation. 21 measuring lines were arranged, symmetrically distributed to the left and right of the source. Each measuring line was 100m apart, and the measuring point spacing was 50m. Each measuring line contained 41 measuring points. After removing the source location, there were a total of 860 measuring points. S3: Input of calculation parameters: Obtain electric field response data and emission parameters during electromagnetic forward modeling and actual measurement, and store them in computer memory in digital format; The above data and parameters include the radial electric field. E r Radial distance r of measuring point, transmitting current I ,frequency f and the depth of the line source starting point h 1 and endpoint depth h 2 In this embodiment, the radial electric field emits current. I= 10 A, frequency f= 10 Hz, Line source starting point depth h 1 =1000m, final depth h 2 =1010m, radial electric field E r The radial distance r of the measuring point should be entered as the measured value; S4: Initialization settings: Set the conductivity search range [σ] in the program. min ,σ maxand accuracy β, The conductivity range is set according to the actual exploration area, and the calculation accuracy must meet the exploration accuracy requirements. In this embodiment, σ min Take 10 -16 S / m (corresponding to resistivity 10) 16 Ω·m), σ max Take 10 6 S / m (corresponding to resistivity 10) -6 Ω·m), β Setting it to 0.001 can meet the needs of almost all exploration scenarios; S5: Resistivity Iterative Calculation: First calculate the conductivity at the midpoint of the conductivity interval as σ. mid = (σ min + σ max ) / 2, and calculate its corresponding theoretical electric field value. E r0 Based on the obtained theoretical value of the electric field E r0 Calculate its value and the measured value. E r The absolute value of the difference δ=| E r0 - E r | Determine if δ is less than the precision. β If δ < β Then the output is the conductivity σ at this time. mid This represents the final conductivity calculation result; if δ < β Based on E r The monotonically decreasing relationship between the conductivity σ and the conductivity σ is used to determine... E r0 and E r The magnitude of this value adjusts the conductivity range; if E r0 > E r ,because E r Since σ is monotonically decreasing relative to σ, we can conclude that σ is decreasing at this point. mid The conductivity is less than the actual conductivity, so the conductivity range is adjusted to [σ]. mid , σ max ];like E r0 < E r ,because E r Since σ is monotonically decreasing relative to σ, we can conclude that σ is decreasing at this point. mid The conductivity is greater than the actual conductivity, and the conductivity range is adjusted to [σ]. min , σ midThen, iterative resistivity calculations are performed until the conductivity at all measuring points is obtained; in this embodiment, the total calculation time from data input to completion of the apparent resistivity calculation for all measuring points is only 26.26 seconds. Figure 5 As shown, traditional inversion methods based on least squares or Gauss-Newton typically require hours to days to complete the interpretation of data of a similar scale. S6: Apparent Resistivity Imaging: Converts the final output conductivity into an apparent resistivity value. ρ = 1 / σ And read the corresponding measurement point coordinates ( x , y Using the Kriging interpolation principle, the resistivity value of each grid node is calculated based on the resistivity values ​​of surrounding measurement points, forming a continuous resistivity data volume. The final resistivity result and its corresponding measurement point coordinates are then used to perform apparent resistivity imaging. Figure 6 , Figure 7 The figure shows the apparent resistivity contour maps of the anomalous body with resistivity of 10 Ω·m and 10000 Ω·m in this embodiment. The black box in the figure represents the projection of the anomalous body on the ground. The blue color mark is set as the low resistivity area, that is, the area with an apparent resistivity value of less than 390 Ω·m, and the red color mark is set as the high resistivity area, that is, the area with an apparent resistivity value of greater than 550 Ω·m. S7: Identification of Anomalous Bodies: From Figure 6 , Figure 7 As can be seen, the anomalies caused by both low-resistivity and high-resistivity anomalies are clearly identifiable in the contour map. In the y-direction, the center positions of both anomalies can be accurately located, and the anomaly ranges are basically defined within the black border. (Drawing) x =200 and y The apparent resistivity curves of the two measuring lines with a value of 0 are shown in the figure. Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the vertical axis represents the apparent resistivity. At low resistance, y When the apparent resistivity of the measuring line is 390 Ω·m and the value is 0, x The coordinate values ​​are 115.14 and 406.75 respectively; x When the apparent resistivity of the measuring line is 390 Ω·m at a constant value of 200, y The coordinate values ​​are -202.92 and 203.37 respectively; at high resistance, y When the apparent resistivity of the measuring line is 550 Ω·m and the value is 0, x The coordinate values ​​are 142.04 and 428.41 respectively; x When the apparent resistivity of the measuring line is 550 Ω·m at a constant value of 200, yThe coordinate values ​​are 163.25 and 165.53, respectively. The anomaly regions of the contour lines are accurately limited to the range of the assumed anomaly, indicating that this imaging method can accurately locate the anomaly with a very fast calculation speed and can effectively delineate the approximate range of the anomaly. It also shows that when a vertical finite-length current source is located below the anomaly, the apparent resistivity anomaly location is highly consistent with the actual anomaly location.

[0035] This invention constructs a method for calculating and imaging apparent resistivity in electromagnetic exploration using a vertical finite-length line source. Based on a uniform half-space model, it derives an analytical expression for the radial electric field response at the surface and uses a bisection algorithm to iteratively calculate apparent resistivity. This simplifies the apparent resistivity calculation process into an efficient interval convergence process. By inputting the measured electric field value into the bisection iterative process, the apparent resistivity value of the corresponding subsurface medium can be obtained. In other words, by introducing a monotonic relationship between electric field and resistivity, and employing a numerical solution path more suitable for electromagnetic response laws, the invention shortens the apparent resistivity calculation time and achieves rapid imaging. Furthermore, when calculating apparent resistivity, this invention allows for flexible setting of the conductivity search interval and accuracy threshold according to actual exploration needs, and dynamically adjusts the interval until convergence based on the iteration results. More precise bisection control helps improve the accuracy of the mapping from electric field response to resistivity. In addition, the apparent resistivity contour map generation method based on Kriging interpolation constructed in this invention is simpler and has a lower computational load than traditional inversion imaging, helping to save data processing time and clearly present the subsurface electrical structure.
