A Review Of Environmental Applications Of Quasi-Stationary Electromagnetic Techniques 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Bülent Tezkan 《Surveys in Geophysics》1999,20(3-4):279-308
Electromagnetic (EM) techniques are the most commonly used geophysical methods in mineral exploration. However, the use of EM measurements for environmental and engineering applications like the detection of contaminant plumes or the exploration of waste sites is relatively new.The reason for the success of the application of EM methods to environmental problems lies in the variation of conductivity caused by different geometry of pore fluids and clay contents in rocks, and by the presence of organic and inorganic contaminants.Many EM methods/instruments used for mapping near surface geology exist and nowadays they play a central role in environmental geophysics. In general, these methods can be classified in two blocks: EM methods using a plane wave source of excitation and EM methods using a controlled source like a magnetic dipole or a loop source. The Very Low Frequency (VLF, VLF-R) and Radiomagnetotelluric (RMT) methods are chosen as representative methods for plane wave techniques, while horizontal loop EM methods operating in low induction numbers (EM31, EM34) and Transient Electromagnetic methods (TEM) are chosen as representatives of magnetic dipole or loop source techniques. Basic principles, advantages and disadvantages of each technique as well as their connection to specific environmental problems will be discussed.Different successful applications of these methods are reported in the literature. However, this review will focus on three major subjects: waste site exploration, detection of contaminated earth layers, and groundwater exploration. Case histories are presented illustrating the suitability of EM methods for solving such problems. 相似文献

Mining,Environmental, Petroleum,and Engineering Industry Applications of Electromagnetic Techniques in Geophysics 总被引：6，自引：1，他引：5
Electromagnetic (EM) techniques are extremely important as a direct detection geophysical tool utilized in the base metal
industry. They were developed in countries such as Canada, whose thin conductive weathering overburden did not hamper the
penetration of EM signals and enabled exploration to depths on the order of 300 m. As a result, EM techniques were used widely
in North America and Scandinavia for many years before they became common in countries with a thick conductive overburden,
such as Australia. The 1980s and 1990s have seen the use of EM methods move from anomaly finding to mapping, as well as the
development of better, faster and more accurate computer modelling algorithms. A review of EM papers, for the years 1998 to
2002, showed that most dealt with EM techniques as mapping tools. Airborne, ground and marine EM techniques are still being
developed, as are data processing and interpretation software. The advent of robust 2-D and 3-D computer modelling and inversion
algorithms has led to the acceptance of EM methods as a mapping tool for many environmental and petroleum industry applications,
a trend which is expected to increase. 相似文献

Controlled source electromagnetic deep sounding: Theory,results and correlation with natural source results 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
David E. Boerner 《Surveys in Geophysics》1992,13(4-5):435-488
Controlled source electromagnetic (EM) methods represent a unique set of geophysical experiments which can be used to determine the properties and state of the deep continental crust. Unlike natural source EM methods, an artificial EM source technique can be designed to optimize resolution and minimize interactions with local structure. The major drawbacks include restricted depth penetration, insufficient data sets and a limited number of modelling algorithms. Information about the electrical conductivity at lower crustal depths can be obtained but at the expense of requiring large moment sources, sophisticated processing techniques and data redundancy. Moreover, EM data are sufficiently complicated that numerical modelling is often necessary for quantitative interpretation. It is therefore essential to record enough information to justify the choice of interpretation algorithms, particularly since controlled source EM forward modelling routines are generally very restrictive and not widely available. As most interpretations are based on layered earth models, observations of all the EM field components can be useful for testing the dimensionality of the data and for justifying interpretations. 相似文献

The past decade has been a period of rapid growth for marine electromagnetic (EM) methods, predominantly due to the industrial
adoption and promotion of EM as a valuable tool for characterizing offshore hydrocarbon reservoirs. This growth is illustrated
by a database of marine EM publications spanning from the early developments in the 1960’s to the present day; while over
300 peer-reviewed papers on marine EM have been published to date, more than half of these papers have been published within
the last decade. This review provides an overview of these recent developments, covering industrial and academic use of marine
EM for resource exploration and tectonic investigations, ranging from acquisition technology and modeling approaches to new
physical and geological insights learned from recent data sets. 相似文献

Controlled-Source Electromagnetic Approaches for Hydrocarbon Exploration and Monitoring on Land 总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3
Rita Streich 《Surveys in Geophysics》2016,37(1):47-80
Electromagnetic methods that utilize controlled sources have been applied for natural resource exploration for more than a century. Nevertheless, concomitant with the recent adoption of marine controlled-source electromagnetics (CSEM) by the hydrocarbon industry, the overall usefulness of CSEM methods on land has been questioned within the industry. Truly, there are few published examples of land CSEM surveys carried out completely analogously to the current marine CSEM standard approach of towing a bipole source across an array of stationary receivers, continuously transmitting a low-frequency signal and interpreting the data in the frequency domain. Rather, different sensitivity properties of different exploration targets in diverse geological settings, gradual advances in theoretical understanding, acquisition and computer technology, and different schools in different parts of the world have resulted in a sometimes confusing multitude of land-based controlled-source EM surveying approaches. Here, I aim to review previous and present-day approaches, and provide reasoning for their diversity. I focus on surface-based techniques while excluding airborne EM and well logging and on applications for hydrocarbon exploration. Attempts at the very demanding task of using onshore controlled-source EM for reservoir monitoring are shown, and the possible future potential of EM monitoring is discussed. 相似文献

Since its development some thirty years ago, the airborne electromagnetic (AEM) method has been primarily used as a tool for mineral prospecting. However, advanced AEM systems are capable of other tasks, such as geological mapping and groundwater exploration. Excellent correlation between maps of apparent conductivity and geological maps was observed in several regions of Brazil where AEM surveys were performed. The degree of correlation seems to depend on the local climate. In humid and subhumid tropical regions, a weathered layer develops whose thickness and conductivity depend upon bedrock lithology. Therefore certain lithological types can be recognized from their conductivity signature; e.g., granites and Precambrian coarse clastic rocks are resistive, metavolcanic (particularly mafic) and volcanic rocks are conductive, Phanerozoic sediments are generally highly conductive. Two geophysical surveys are analyzed in the paper. The first was conducted with the time-domain, towed-bird AEM system in the Itapicuru greenstone belt in the state of Bahia. The apparent conductivity map correlated better with the local lithology than the magnetic map. Results of the AEM survey were successfully used to improve the regional geological map. A helicopter EM system was used in the second survey, which covered a portion of the Precambrian shield of Rio Grande do Sul. Also in this region ground checks confirmed the usefulness of conductivity surveys in geological mapping. The technique outlined in the paper holds great promise for countries of humid tropical climate, where few outcrops exist and access is often difficult. The tests performed in Brazil indicate that by executing AEM/aeromagnetic surveys during initial stages of mapping and exploration programs, time and expenditure required for geological field work can be considerably reduced. The resulting geological maps are more accurate and the inventory of mineral occurrences becomes more complete. 相似文献

For hydrocarbon applications, seismic exploration is the workhorse of the industry. Only in the borehole, electromagnetic (EM) methods play a dominant role, as they are mostly used to determine oil reserves and to distinguish water from oil-bearing zones. Throughout the past 60 years, we had several periods with an increased interest in EM. This increased with the success of the marine EM industry and now electromagnetics in general is considered for many new applications. The classic electromagnetic methods are borehole, onshore and offshore, and airborne EM methods. Airborne is covered elsewhere (see Smith, this issue). Marine EM material is readily available from the service company Web sites, and here I will only mention some future technical directions that are visible. The marine EM success is being carried back to the onshore market, fueled by geothermal and unconventional hydrocarbon applications. Oil companies are listening to pro-EM arguments, but still are hesitant to go through the learning exercises as early adopters. In particular, the huge business drivers of shale hydrocarbons and reservoir monitoring will bring markets many times bigger than the entire marine EM market. Additional applications include support for seismic operations, sub-salt, and sub-basalt, all areas where seismic exploration is costly and inefficient. Integration with EM will allow novel seismic methods to be applied. In the borehole, anisotropy measurements, now possible, form the missing link between surface measurements and ground truth. Three-dimensional (3D) induction measurements are readily available from several logging contractors. The trend to logging-while-drilling measurements will continue with many more EM technologies, and the effort of controlling the drill bit while drilling including look-ahead-and-around the drill bit is going on. Overall, the market for electromagnetics is increasing, and a demand for EM capable professionals will continue. The emphasis will be more on application and data integration (bottom-line value increase) and less on EM technology and modeling exercises. 相似文献

Exploring for Geothermal Resources with Electromagnetic Methods 总被引：5，自引：3，他引：2
Gerard Muñoz 《Surveys in Geophysics》2014,35(1):101-122
Electrical conductivity of the subsurface is known to be a crucial parameter for the characterization of geothermal settings. Geothermal systems, composed by a system of faults and/or fractures filled with conducting geothermal fluids and altered rocks, are ideal targets for electromagnetic (EM) methods, which have become the industry standard for exploration of geothermal systems. This review paper presents an update of the state-of-the-art geothermal exploration using EM methods. Several examples of high-enthalpy geothermal systems as well as non-volcanic systems are presented showing the successful application of EM for geothermal exploration but at the same time highlighting the importance of the development of conceptual models in order to avoid falling into interpretation pitfalls. The integration of independent data is key in order to obtain a better understanding of the geothermal system as a whole, which is the ultimate goal of exploration. 相似文献

由于航空电磁系统具有工作频率低、时间延迟短等特点,地形对航空电磁响应有很大影响,忽略地形影响会给航空电磁数据解释造成很大误差.本文将基于非结构化网格的矢量有限元法应用于模拟起伏地表条件下频域/时域(FD/TD)三维航空电磁系统响应.该方法由于采用非结构网格,与传统的结构化网格电磁正演算法相比,能更好地拟合地形和地下不规则异常体,提高对不规则地形和地下介质航空电磁响应的计算精度.通过将计算结果与半空间模型的半解析解及已发表的结果进行对比,检验了本文算法的精度.通过对典型山峰和山谷地形航空电磁响应分析对比,总结了地形对航空电磁响应的影响特征.研究结果对航空电磁地形效应的识别和校正具有指导意义. 相似文献

During the past two decades electromagnetic methods have been increasingly applied to problems in hydrocarbon exploration. It has been shown that EM methods achieve satisfactory results which can be supplementary to results of the seismic method. We extend the application of the Long-Offset Transient ElectroMagnetic Sounding (lotem ) to exploration problems in the coal mining industry. A survey was conducted north of the Rhine-Ruhr coal district using a grounded dipole source and receivers laid out along several profile lines giving areal coverage. The strong noise from cultural as well as natural electromagnetic sources was reduced using prestack data processing techniques resulting in reliable data with a good signal-to-noise ratio. The interpretation is self-consistent and matches the well logs and the geological information of the area quite well. The high station density permitted the mapping of the top of the Carboniferous formation to a depth of between 800 and 1000 m below surface. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Among electromagnetic sounding techniques, the Mélos method possesses the specific feature of including an apparent resistivity computation. This acts as a normalizing scheme so that 2D modelling results can be obtained without accounting for a true 3D source. However, in order to get reliable numerical modelling results for a 2D magnetic dipole source, improved algorithms are required in order to apply the standard finite-element technique: quadratic basis functions must be used in place of linear basis functions, and a more sophisticated method than conventional ones is necessary for properly solving the resulting system of linear equations. Such modelling results have been used to study theoretical responses for the Mélos method in the search for conductive bodies in mineral exploration. Two sets of models are presented and discussed. They show that the typical Mélos response to a conductive target is a bipolar anomaly on the apparent resistivity pseudo-section, with a conductive pole at low frequency which is centred above the target. 相似文献

Most rocks display conductivity dispersion in the low-frequency range, when the usual displacement currents are neglected. The strong influence this low-frequency dispersion (LFD), including the response sign reversals, was revealed by field experiments with the coincident-loop configuration widely used in transient electromagnetics (EM). Mathematical modelling of LFD has been the subject of numerous studies. However, confirmation of the role of LFD or induced polarization (IP) by comparing mathematical modelling and field data is rather poor, because knowledge of the properties of rocks in the area of the field measurements is usually insufficient. For this reason physical modelling of LFD has been carried out at Moscow State Geological-prospecting Academy (Russia) in 1994-95. In order to observe criteria of similarity for both induction and polarization transients, a ring-shaped model was chosen and was represented by an electric circuit, consisting of lumped elements (real rock samples included). Qualitatively different transients for dispersive models and their non-dispersive ohmic equivalents were observed. 相似文献

Electromagnetic sounding of geothermal zones 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Electromagnetic (EM) data provide a substantial contribution to the geophysical mapping and monitoring of geothermal reservoirs. This paper presents an up-to-date picture of the achievements of EM methods for geothermal exploration as they have emerged over the last few years. It has been proved that EM sounding of geothermal zones and distant monitoring macro-parameters of the reservoirs, fluid-filled faults and other elements of the geothermal system are possible provided that modern 3-D inversion is used along with techniques that reduce the effects of industrial and geological noise. In addition, geological and petrophysical data also need to be included in the analysis. 相似文献

The “Autorité des amenegements des valées des Voltas (AVV)” is establishing new rural settlements in the Volta valleys. First, a survey of available water supplies is performed. Economic aquifers in Precambrian terrains are deep (15–50 m) and usually occur in fractured zones accompanying faults. Such zones can be identified on aerial photographs, but their precise location on the ground is virtually impossible by visual means. Because of the small size of the aquifers, a location error of 5 m can make the difference between a productive well and a dry hole. Traditionally, resistivity profiling has been used as the means of locating the fractured zones in the field. Our studies suggest that the task can be performed faster, cheaper and more accurately by VLF and EM methods. Because of the limited choice of transmitting stations reccivable in Upper Volta, the VLF method is not sufficiently sensitive to detect conductors with a strike between 45° and 105°. The results obtained with a multifrequency, horizontal-loop EM (HLEM) system were satisfactory in all investigated areas. During the 1980 field season, 35 target areas were surveyed. Of the 24 holes drilled so far, 23 are productive. The weathered layer is a source of distinctive HLEM anomalies, which are characteristic of the underlying rocks. Therefore, different interpretational procedures had to be developed for granitic and volcano-sedimentary areas. Despite the high background level of in-phase and quadrature components, which varied with thickness and conductivity of the weathered layer, aquifers could be detected at a depth greater than 30 m. Attempts were made to interpret the HLEM results quantitatively using two models: a three-layer medium and a valley discontinuity. The latter model is more realistic, but more scale modelling will have to be performed to permit development of viable interpretational procedures. Meanwhile, phasor diagrams based on drilling and resistivity sounding data can be used to estimate the aquifer depth. 相似文献

电离层影响下不同类型源激发的电磁场特征 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2
大地电磁法(MT)和可控源音频大地电磁法(CSAMT)虽然在多种勘探领域均得到了广泛的应用,但是也存在着一些问题.于是结合了这两种勘探方法的优点,一种采用固定的大功率源进行电磁波发射,在全国范围内进行电磁信号接收的人工源电磁法得到了发展.此方法中收发距可达上千公里,在此大尺度范围下如何保证电磁信号的强度成为一个关键问题,而其中发射源的类型是决定着信号强度的重要因素.当收发距很大时,电离层的存在将影响到电磁信号的传播,为了探讨适合于大功率固定源方法的发射源类型,本文将大功率固定源方法模型抽象为地-电离层模型,研究电离层影响下的三维积分方程法,其中地-电离层模式背景模型的格林函数用波数域中的层矩阵法获得.利用此正演方法模拟对比了发射源分别为水平长线源、环状源和L型源时电离层影响下的电磁场传播特征,并初步探讨了L型发射源对三维异常体的分辨能力.综合分析认为L型源是较优的发射源,有利于在大功率固定源方法中进行实际应用. 相似文献

A dual-ship-towed marine electromagnetic (EM) system is a new marine exploration technology recently being developed in China. Compared with traditional marine EM systems, the new system tows the transmitters and receivers using two ships, rendering it unnecessary to position EM receivers at the seafloor in advance. This makes the system more flexible, allowing for different configurations (e.g., in-line, broadside, and azimuthal and concentric scanning) that can produce more detailed underwater structural information. We develop a three-dimensional goal-oriented adaptive forward modeling method for the new marine EM system and analyze the responses for four survey configurations. Oceanbottom topography has a strong effect on the marine EM responses; thus, we develop a forward modeling algorithm based on the finite-element method and unstructured grids. To satisfy the requirements for modeling the moving transmitters of a dual-ship-towed EM system, we use a single mesh for each of the transmitter locations. This mitigates the mesh complexity by refining the grids near the transmitters and minimizes the computational cost. To generate a rational mesh while maintaining the accuracy for single transmitter, we develop a goal-oriented adaptive method with separate mesh refinements for areas around the transmitting source and those far away. To test the modeling algorithm and accuracy, we compare the EM responses calculated by the proposed algorithm and semi-analytical results and from published sources. Furthermore, by analyzing the EM responses for four survey configurations, we are confirm that compared with traditional marine EM systems with only in-line array, a dual-ship-towed marine system can collect more data. 相似文献
