The invention relates to geophysical exploration
microseism monitoring technology, in particular to a longitudinal and transversal wave
time difference positioning method with computational efficiency improved greatly, combined with data base technology and under the condition that computational accuracy is guaranteed. The method comprises that (1)
microseism happening space zone is established and grid
subdivision is performed; (2) a forward modeling result of
P wave or
S wave of each grid is written to a data base by
ray tracing
algorithm; (3) combined with an
azimuth angle of an actual
microseism happening space, whether an
azimuth angle of the i grid volume i (x, y, z) is in a range (theta m-theta', theta m+ theta') determined by the
azimuth angle of a microseism event is judged and if the azimuth angle of the i grid is in the given azimuth angle range (theta m-theta', theta m+ theta'), a spatial point volume i (x, y, z, theta m + / - theta') where a microseism can happen is determined; and (4) in a microseism happening space zone volume, optimal seismic focus location search is performed on all grid points volume i (x, y, z, theta m + / -theta') with the azimuth angle located in the (theta m-theta', theta m+ theta') according to a formula. According to the microseism seismic focus
positioning technology of the longitudinal and transversal wave
time difference positioning method based on the data base technology, positioning accuracy can be satisfied and speed is greatly improved. The technology is initiate technology in seismic monitoring
positioning technology.
