This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202110274854.9, filed on Mar. 15, 2021, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The application belongs to the technical field of resource detection, and in particular to a multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic detection method and a multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic detection device for metal mineral resources and geothermal resources.
A transient electromagnetic method (TEM) is separable in time. When an excitation field source is turned off, a pure secondary field is observed, and a coupling between an observed signal and an underground electrical structure is better than other methods. The TEM is widely used in fields of coalfield hydrogeology, metal minerals, geothermal and engineering survey. However, limited by a basic principle of electromagnetic diffusion, data collected on a ground is a comprehensive feedback of geological information in a certain depth range. Therefore, a resolution of an electromagnetic method decreases with an increase of a detection depth. The closer to a detection target, the more truly the observed information represents an actual geological structure, and a detection accuracy is not reduced due to an effect by the diffusion.
The excitation field sources used in ground-borehole transient electromagnetic mainly include a magnetic source (a loop source) and an electrical source (a grounding conductor source). These excitation field sources are consistent with emission sources of surface electromagnetic methods. A magnetic source method uses the loop source to excite an electromagnetic field on the ground, and magnetic field components are observed in a borehole. The electrical source uses a long grounding conductor to excite the electromagnetic field underground. The main observed components are a vertical magnetic field and a horizontal magnetic field. The magnetic fields are sensitive to good conductors, and due to an influence of a side effect, an electromagnetic field response shows a certain indication to a detection target layer.
Whether it is a large loop source TEM or a grounding conductor source TEM, a best understanding of a difference between the two sources may be analyzed by describing a transverse electric (TE)-transverse magnetic (TM) dual polarization mode of the electromagnetic field.
The loop source TEM only produces a horizontal current, and the excited electromagnetic field only contains a transverse electric polarization field, is only sensitive to good conduction targets and has a poor resolution to high resistance targets. The conductor source of the grounding conductor source only generates the horizontal current, while a grounding term generates the horizontal current and a vertical current underground. The excited electromagnetic field includes a transverse magnetic polarization field and a transverse electric polarization field. The magnetic field components are generally observed by a ground-borehole TEM. The vertical magnetic field (Hz) is the transverse electric polarization field, and the horizontal magnetic field (Hx, Hy) is a mixed field of the transverse electric polarization field and the transverse magnetic polarization field, so a detection capability of the TEM for a high resistance body is improved to some extent. However, the resolution of the TEM is still limited, which is related to a fact that the transverse electric polarization field dominates the horizontal magnetic field.
The resolution of the transverse magnetic polarization field to the high resistance body is far better than that of the transverse electric polarization field. In order to take advantage of a sensitivity of the transverse magnetic polarization field to high resistance, the transverse electric polarization field needs to be removed. This process may be analyzed, but it is difficult to extract the actual data. Therefore, the conventional large loop source TEM and grounding conductor source TEM are detection methods based on a transverse electric polarization field observation, thus restricting the resolution of the TEM to the high resistance body.
A technical objective of the application is to provide a multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic detection method and a multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic detection device, so as to greatly improve a resolution and a detection capability of an underground target by a ground-borehole transient electromagnetic method.

The application aims at a fine detection of metal mineral resources and geothermal resources. In a conventional ground detection, an observation position is far away from an underground target, so it is impossible to realize the fine detection of underground three-dimensional ore bodies and ore-forming rock bodies. The conventional ground-borehole transient electromagnetic method based on a transverse electric field is only sensitive to low resistance targets, and has a limited resolution for the ore bodies, the ore-forming rock bodies and ore-controlling structures without low resistance characteristics. The application greatly improves the resolution and the detection capability of the underground target of the ground-borehole transient electromagnetic method.

Same reference numerals in the drawings indicate the same or similar parts. Those skilled in the art should understand that these drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.
In order to make a purpose, technical schemes and advantages of the application clearer, the application is described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.
As shown in
As shown in
S1, constructing a multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic forward model.
when an electromagnetic field is excited in a layered earth surface and received in a borehole, an electromagnetic field component excited by a single grounding conductor source in an x-direction is expressed as follows:
where, J1(λr) and J0(λr) are first-order and zero-order Bessel functions, respectively, λ represents a horizontal wave number, ri represents receiving and sending distances of measuring points in coordinate systems to which different line sources belong; hj represents a thickness of a j-th layer; {circumflex over (z)}j represents an impedance of the j-th layer, ŷj represents an admittance of the j-th layer, and z represents a height of a receiving point;
indicates a reflection coefficient of an electromagnetic wave when an electric field component is incident on a plane,
indicates the reflection coefficient of the electromagnetic wave when a vertical magnetic field is incident on the plane,
indicates an intrinsic admittance of a free space, Ŷ1 indicates a surface admittance,
indicates an intrinsic impedance of the free space, and {circumflex over (Z)}1 indicates a surface impedance, where {circumflex over (z)}0=iωμ0 and ŷ0=iωε0; ω represents an angular frequency, i represents a complex number, ε0 represents a dielectric coefficient of an underground uniform half space, and μ0 represents a magnetic permeability of the underground uniform half space.
For a multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic field, z is positive; z is equal to 0 when observed on the ground, but negative when observed in the air. A solution of responses is obtained by a superposition calculation of the responses of various line sources, and the coordinate system is established with each line source as an x axis and a midpoint of each line source as a source point, as shown in
for the same measuring point P(x1,y1), coordinates in different coordinate systems are obtained by relationships between translations and rotations of the coordinate systems;
(e) when the coordinate system X1OY1 is translated to X′O′Y′, the coordinate is:
x′=x1+a
y′=y1+b,
where a=L−L cos θi, b=L sin θi;
(f) when the coordinate system X′O′Y′ is rotated to the coordinate system XiO′Yi to which the i-th source belongs:
xi=x′ cos θi−y′ sin θi
yi=y′ cos θi+x′ sin θi,
each component of the magnetic field generated by a multi-line source excitation is obtained by a superposition.
S2, obtaining multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic responses of an underground target by the multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic forward model.
Taking eight line sources as an example, the included angle between adjacent line sources is 45 degrees, the length of each line source is 500 meters, and an emission current is 10 A. Multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic field responses are analyzed by the multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic forward model (K model), and depths of the receiving points are 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 meters respectively. Geoelectric parameters of the K model are as follows:
Taking a source center as a coordinate origin and the line source 1 as an X axis, a planar distribution of multi-components of the electromagnetic field at the depth of 200 m underground is obtained through a calculation, as shown in
As shown in
S3, recognizing an underground target layer according to electromagnetic diffusion characteristics of the multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic responses.
A greatest advantage of the multi-line sources is that a fine detection of high resistance targets is realized by observing electric field components, so in a ground-borehole transient electromagnetic observation, the application focuses on observing reflection characteristics of underground electric field components to a high resistance. In order to analyze a detection capability of the observed electric field component in the borehole to a high resistance target layer, response profiles of the high resistance target layer at different times are analyzed. The resolution and the recognition capability of an underground high resistance layer are judged by analyzing response diffusion properties of the underground target layer.
As shown in
A similar characteristic appears in an Ey component diffusion profile, but a difference is that this indicator characteristic only appears after a certain time, and only in a limited number of the measuring points and when an axial observation is satisfactory relative to the source. When the electric field is observed in the borehole, the vertical electric field should be selected as far as possible; when the electric field is not observed in a roadway, an axial electric field component and the vertical electric field component of the source are considered.
The application also provides a multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic detection device, including:
a construction module, which is used for constructing the multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic forward model;
an analysis module, which is used for obtaining the multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic responses of the underground target layer through the multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic forward model; and
a recognition module, which is used for recognizing the underground target layer according to the electromagnetic diffusion characteristics of the multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic responses.
The application has the following advantages.
In order to solve shortcomings of the ground-borehole transient electromagnetic method in detecting high resistance targets, the application provides a ground-borehole transient electromagnetic detection method based on a plurality of ground emission sources. The application analyzes distribution characteristics of various components of the multi-line source ground-borehole transient electromagnetic field and the resolution of an electrical structure, and proposes to realize a more precise recognition of underground high resistance target information by using the vertical electric field component of a pure transverse magnetic field and the horizontal electric field in some areas, so as to further improve the detection capability of the ground-borehole transient electromagnetic method for the high resistance targets.
