任意各向异性介质中三维可控源音频大地电磁正演模拟

在一些地层层理发育的地区,地下介质存在显著的电各向异性,此时基于各向同性模型解释含各向异性效应的可控源音频大地电磁（CSAMT）测深观测数据会导致错误的结果.本文通过引入3×3的对称正定张量表征电导率各向异性,采用非结构四面体网格和矢量有限元方法离散电场满足的矢量Helmholtz方程,并将电磁场源等效为系列电偶极子,实现任意各向异性介质中CSAMT高效数值模拟.本文首先通过层状各向异性模型检验三维有限元算法的精度和有效性,进一步建立三维地电模型研究异常体各向异性和围岩各向异性对CSAMT响应的影响,最后使用视电阻率极性图来识别各向异性电导率主轴方向.数值模拟结果表明,各向异性电导率对CSAMT视电阻率幅值及分布规律都有很大影响,视电阻率极性图能够很好地识别各向异性主轴方向.     

无限长源二维各向异性地层中CSAMT有限元模拟

可控源音频大地电磁测深法(CSAMT)基本上是基于电性各向同性理论的假设,而实际地层普遍表现为电性各向异性现象,因此研究各向异性地层条件下CSAMT方法的电磁响应具有重要的理论意义和应用价值.本文从有源Maxwell方程出发,推导出了二维各向异性地层条件下无限长线源频率域的电磁场响应,得到了一组平行于线源方向的电场分量E_x和磁场分量H_x的偏微分方程,并采用有限元法进行求解.模型的计算结果表明:不论是对均匀半空间还是一维层状介质中的各向异性二维体模型的计算,均能从结果中明显地看出各向同性背景场和各向异性异常体的存在;在计算中通过改变各向异性系数或各向异性旋转角,其结果在视电阻率和相位曲线上均存在显著区别.计算结果表明了在各向异性地层中,仍然采用各向同性的假设进行CSAMT资料的处理与解释,可能会带来比较严重的误差,这种情况下必须采用基于各向异性的地质模型对CSAMT资料进行处理和解释.研究结果对于提高CSAMT方法的勘探效果和应用水平具有重要的指导意义.     

可控源音频大地电磁三维共轭梯度反演研究

可控源音频大地电磁法在资源勘探等领域中发挥着重要的作用.我们把有限差分数值模拟方法用于可控源音频大地电磁三维正演,结合正则化反演方案和共轭梯度反演的思路,将反演中的雅可比矩阵计算问题转为求解两次"拟正演"问题,得到模型参数的更新步长,形成反演迭代,实现了可控源音频大地电磁三维共轭梯度反演算法.该反演算法可用于对有限长度电偶源激发下采集到的可控源音频大地电磁全区(近区、过渡区和远区)视电阻率和相位资料进行三维反演定量解释,获得地下三维模型的电阻率结构.理论模型合成数据的反演算例验证了所实现的可控源音频大地电磁三维共轭梯度反演算法的有效性和稳定性.     

Three-dimensional arbitrarily anisotropic modeling for time-domain airborne electromagnetic surveys

Electrically anisotropic strata are abundant in nature, so their study can help our data interpretation and our understanding of the processes of geodynamics. However, current data processing generally assumes isotropic conditions when surveying anisotropic structures, which may cause discrepancies between reality and electromagnetic data interpretation. Moreover, the anisotropic interpretation of the time-domain airborne electromagnetic (TDAEM) method is still confined to one dimensional (1D) cases, and the corresponding three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulations are still in development. In this study, we expanded the 3D TDAEM modeling of arbitrarily anisotropic media. First, through coordinate rotation of isotropic conductivity, we obtained the conductivity tensor of an arbitrary anisotropic rock. Next, we incorporated this into Maxwell’s equations, using a regular hexahedral grid of vector finite elements to subdivide the solution area. A direct solver software package provided the solution for the sparse linear equations that resulted. Analytical solutions were used to verify the accuracy and feasibility of the algorithm. The proven model was then applied to analyze the effects of arbitrary anisotropy in 3D TDAEM via the distribution of responses and amplitude changes, which revealed that different anisotropy situations strongly affected the responses of TDAEM.     

大地电磁全张量响应的一维各向异性反演

目前大地电磁(MT)测深资料反演主要基于各向同性介质,但随着MT实际应用的需要,各向异性研究已逐渐引起关注.我们采用广泛应用的广义逆法对一维MT水平层状各向异性介质模型反演进行了探索性研究,并实现了MT全张量响应(即所有的阻抗张量的视电阻率和相位)的一维各向异性反演.理论模型试验表明,无论理论观测值中是否含有噪声,这种方法都能够较好地恢复真实模型,验证了其正确性和有效性.将此方法用于MT实测资料时,能够同时拟合4对视电阻率和阻抗相位曲线,说明本方法可以用于实测资料的处理解释,具有一定的实用价值.     

频率域海洋可控源电磁垂直各向异性三维反演

地层宏观电性各向异性会对可控源电磁响应产生重要影响.由于海底地层电性结构常表现为电导率各向异性,若仅对海洋可控源电磁(MCSEM)数据进行常规各向同性反演,有可能无法获得准确的反演解释结果,从而削弱MCSEM技术的可靠性.本文实现了电导率垂直各向异性(VTI)条件下频率域海洋可控源电磁数据三维反演算法.其中,三维正演采用基于二次场控制方程的交错网格有限体积法,并利用直接矩阵分解技术来求解离散所得的大型线性方程组,有利于快速计算多场源的响应.反演采用具有近似二次收敛性的高斯牛顿算法对目标函数进行最优化.最后,对具有VTI电性各向异性特征的盐丘构造模型的MCSEM合成数据分别进行了电导率各向同性和垂直各向异性三维反演,结果表明:各向同性三维反演算法无法对受VTI介质影响的MCSEM数据进行正确的反演解释,而垂直各向异性三维反演能够获得更为可靠的地下电阻率结构和异常体分布,展现出对海底电性各向异性结构更为优良的反演解释能力.     

Determination of the reference symmetry axis of a generally anisotropic medium which is approximately transversely isotropic

For a given stiffness tensor (tensor of elastic moduli) of a generally anisotropic medium, we estimate to what extent the medium is transversely isotropic (uniaxial) and determine the direction of its reference symmetry axis expressed in terms of the unit reference symmetry vector. If the medium is exactly transversely isotropic (exactly uniaxial), we obtain the direction of its symmetry axis. We can also calculate the first–order and second–order spatial derivatives of the reference symmetry vector which may be useful in tracing the reference rays for the coupling ray theory. The proposed method is tested using various transversely isotropic (uniaxial) and approximately transversely isotropic (approximately uniaxial) media.

电导率任意各向异性海洋可控源电磁三维矢量有限元数值模拟

现有海洋可控源电磁三维数值模拟方法大多基于电导率各向同性介质理论,不能模拟海底地层电导率各向异性的实际情况.本文给出了电导率各向异性三维介质中电性源海洋可控源电磁二次电场的边值问题以及相应的变分问题,采用长方体单元对研究区域剖分,将场分量定义在剖分单元的边上,利用矢量有限单元法求解变分问题,实现了电导率任意各向异性海洋可控源电磁三维矢量有限元数值模拟.这个新的正演方法可以计算电导率任意各向异性三维地电模型的海洋可控源电磁响应,基于二次场矢量有限元法直接求解电磁场,避免了传统有限元方法可能遇到的伪解问题和难于处理电场法向分量不连续的问题,提高了数值模拟计算精度.一维电导率各向异性模型电磁场数值解与解析解吻合得相当好,无论在源附近还是远离源处相对误差均不超过1%.电导率各向异性二维模型的计算结果与已有文献采用的非结构有限元模拟结果十分吻合.三维地电模型数值模拟结果显示,电导率各向异性张量电导率主轴分量和欧拉角对不同装置海洋可控源电磁响应均有着明显的影响.     

基于交叉梯度结构约束的大地电磁主轴各向异性并行三维反演

各向异性介质对大地电磁观测数据的影响往往不可忽略,因此需要提高大地电磁各向异性三维反演的可靠性和有效性.为了满足大地电磁各向异性三维反演的需求,本文研究了一种基于交叉梯度结构约束的大地电磁主轴各向异性并行三维反演算法.根据大地电磁平面波理论假设,正演方程采用背景场与二次场分离的计算方式,二次场利用交错网格有限差分法求解.由于各向异性反演的多解性,本文将各向异性介质简化为主轴各向异性,并在此基础上进一步采用有限内存拟牛顿LBFGS法实现三维各向异性反演.为了提高各向异性反演的分辨率,反演目标函数中引入交叉梯度项,利用先验的结构信息,对三个方向的电阻率参数进行结构约束,最终的反演进一步利用MPI(Message Passing Interface,消息传递接口)技术实现分频并行计算,测试结果显示并行接近线性加速比.     

Microseismic Full Waveform Modeling in Anisotropic Media with Moment Tensor Implementation

Seismic anisotropy which is common in shale and fractured rocks will cause travel-time and amplitude discrepancy in different propagation directions. For microseismic monitoring which is often implemented in shale or fractured rocks, seismic anisotropy needs to be carefully accounted for in source location and mechanism determination. We have developed an efficient finite-difference full waveform modeling tool with an arbitrary moment tensor source. The modeling tool is suitable for simulating wave propagation in anisotropic media for microseismic monitoring. As both dislocation and non-double-couple source are often observed in microseismic monitoring, an arbitrary moment tensor source is implemented in our forward modeling tool. The increments of shear stress are equally distributed on the staggered grid to implement an accurate and symmetric moment tensor source. Our modeling tool provides an efficient way to obtain the Green’s function in anisotropic media, which is the key of anisotropic moment tensor inversion and source mechanism characterization in microseismic monitoring. In our research, wavefields in anisotropic media have been carefully simulated and analyzed in both surface array and downhole array. The variation characteristics of travel-time and amplitude of direct P- and S-wave in vertical transverse isotropic media and horizontal transverse isotropic media are distinct, thus providing a feasible way to distinguish and identify the anisotropic type of the subsurface. Analyzing the travel-times and amplitudes of the microseismic data is a feasible way to estimate the orientation and density of the induced cracks in hydraulic fracturing. Our anisotropic modeling tool can be used to generate and analyze microseismic full wavefield with full moment tensor source in anisotropic media, which can help promote the anisotropic interpretation and inversion of field data.     

浅部频率域电磁勘探方法综述

适用于近地表(2000m以内)勘探的频率域电磁法主要有音频大地电磁法(audio-frequency magnetotellurics,AMT),无线电大地电磁法(radio-magnetotellurics,RMT),可控源音频大地电磁法(controlled source audiofrequency magnetotellurics,CSAMT),广域电磁法(Wide Field Electromagnetic Method,WFEM).本文拟从最新的数据采集技术、数据处理技术、正反演算法、实例等四个方面,论述适用于浅部勘探的AMT,RMT,CSAMT和WFEM方法的国内外最新进展,总结目前AMT,RMT,CSAMT和WFEM方法遇到的困难,对潜在的发展方向提出建议.综述表明:(1)张量测量、多站阵列、多站叠加可提高AMT、RMT和CSAMT数据的质量.利用近区数据WFEM法可获得良好的效果.国产与国外仪器在质量方面的差距正在逐步缩小.(2)数学形态滤波技术、Hilbert-Huang变换等可有效分离出有用的数据,局部畸变仍然是亟待解决的难题,需要更为深入的研究.(3)矢量有限元与非结构网格的出现大幅度提高了有限元处理复杂电磁问题模拟的精度与应用范围,成为目前电磁正演的首选工具.完全非线性反演算法仍然局限于1D、2D问题,共轭梯度法和高斯牛顿算法等为解决3D问题的发展趋势.地质约束的引入和多数据联合反演可以减小反演的非唯一性.各向异性的反演为目前反演研究的热点之一.(4)野外数据解释的正确性严重依赖于对地下结构先期的维性判别,在2D特性不明显、3D特性明显时,需要采用3D进行反演解释.     

Reference transversely isotropic medium approximating a given generally anisotropic medium

For a given stiffness tensor (tensor of elastic moduli) of a generally anisotropic medium, we can estimate the extent to which the medium is transversely isotropic, and determine the direction of its reference symmetry axis. In this paper, we rotate the given stiffness tensor about this reference symmetry axis, and determine the reference transversely isotropic (uniaxial) stiffness tensor as the average of the rotated stiffness tensor over all angles of rotation. The obtained reference transversely isotropic (uniaxial) stiffness tensor represents an analytically differentiable approximation of the given generally anisotropic stiffness tensor. The proposed analytic method is compared with a previous numerical method in two numerical examples.     

Inversions for MT data in 2D symmetrical anisotropic media

Introduction Ready and Renkin (1971) were the first to make the research on anisotropy problems in magnetotellurics (MT). The progress in the research is not evident because it is more complex and difficult than isotropic problems. Now, the one-dimensional (1D) anisotropy problems in MT have been well solved, while for the two-dimensional (2D) cases, the numerical solutions have only been obtained for some particular conditions (Ready and Renkin, 1975). As to the three-dimensional (3D) ani…

本文提出-种利用有偏VSP资料反射波旅行时信息重建椭圆各向异性介质中水平向与垂直向速度的方法。其中,地下介质假定为层状椭圆各向异性介质。反射波旅行时间采用射线追踪理论及几何关系计算得到,反演中的线性方程组采用奇异值分解(SVD)技术进行求解。 方法检测时,我们对各向同性介质及椭圆各向异胜介质情况下有限差分法正演模拟的深井有偏移距VSP地震资料分别进行各向同性和各向异性方法反演成像。结果表明,本文所述方法较之各向同性介质模型反演方法对介质类型有很好的适用性,同时也说明了本方法的司行性。最后,我们分别介绍了对实际有偏VSP资料反演得到的地下介质的速度结构图像。     

Inversion for elliptically anisotropic velocity using VSP reflection traveltimes

This paper presents a traveltime inversion approach, using the reflection traveltimes from offset VSP data, to reconstruct the horizontal and vertical velocities for stratified anisotropic media. The inverse problem is reduced to a set of linear equations, and solved by the singular value decomposition (SVD) technique. The validity of this inversion scheme is verified using two sets of synthetic data simulated using a finite‐difference method, one for an isotropic model and the other for an elliptically anisotropic model. The inversion result demonstrates that our anisotropic velocity inversion scheme may be applied to both isotropic and anisotropic media. The method is finally applied to a real offset VSP data set, acquired in an oilfield in northwestern China.     

各向异性介质地震波场数值模拟及特征分析

由于各向异性广泛存在于地下岩石中,随着勘探精度的不断提高,对地下介质的各向同性假设越来越不能够满足于现状,因此对各向异性介质的数值模拟显得更为重要。本文推导了各向异性介质的弹性波动方程,总结了震源类型,通过PML方法处理了人工边界问题,通过快照分析验证了数值频散、稳定性条件。研究结果表明:① PML完全匹配层,可较好地解决人工边界问题;②减小空间采样间隔压制数值频散比减小时间采样间隔效果要好得多,盲目减小时间采样间隔会大大降低数值模拟的运算效率;③各向异性介质中弹性波场中除含有准纵波外,还含有速度较慢的准横波;④准纵波波前能量要比由各向异性引起的准横波能量强,准纵波和准横波的波前随着各向异性介质参数的变化而变化。

Computing the Sensitivity Kernels for 2.5-D Seismic Waveform Inversion in Heterogeneous,Anisotropic Media

2.5-D modeling and inversion techniques are much closer to reality than the simple and traditional 2-D seismic wave modeling and inversion. The sensitivity kernels required in full waveform seismic tomographic inversion are the Fréchet derivatives of the displacement vector with respect to the independent anisotropic model parameters of the subsurface. They give the sensitivity of the seismograms to changes in the model parameters. This paper applies two methods, called ‘the perturbation method’ and ‘the matrix method’, to derive the sensitivity kernels for 2.5-D seismic waveform inversion. We show that the two methods yield the same explicit expressions for the Fréchet derivatives using a constant-block model parameterization, and are available for both the line-source (2-D) and the point-source (2.5-D) cases. The method involves two Green’s function vectors and their gradients, as well as the derivatives of the elastic modulus tensor with respect to the independent model parameters. The two Green’s function vectors are the responses of the displacement vector to the two directed unit vectors located at the source and geophone positions, respectively; they can be generally obtained by numerical methods. The gradients of the Green’s function vectors may be approximated in the same manner as the differential computations in the forward modeling. The derivatives of the elastic modulus tensor with respect to the independent model parameters can be obtained analytically, dependent on the class of medium anisotropy. Explicit expressions are given for two special cases—isotropic and tilted transversely isotropic (TTI) media. Numerical examples are given for the latter case, which involves five independent elastic moduli (or Thomsen parameters) plus one angle defining the symmetry axis.
