Patent number: 11754744Abstract: A surface wave prospecting method for jointly extracting Rayleigh wave frequency dispersion characteristics in a seismoelectric field. A surface wave prospecting method includes following steps of: acquiring jointly acquired data, where the jointly acquired data includes seismic wave data and electric field data; carrying out jointly imaging processing on jointly acquired data to obtain a superposed frequency dispersion spectrum; carrying out extraction processing on superposed frequency dispersion spectrum to obtain a frequency dispersion curve, outperforming inversion processing on frequency dispersion curve to obtain a stratum structure profile. As seismic wave data and electric field data are adopted to carry out combined imaging processing to obtain superposed frequency dispersion spectrum, multi-mode frequency dispersion curve is extracted, multiplicity of solutions of inversion is greatly reduced during inversion, precision and stability of surface wave prospecting are greatly improved.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2020Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Hengxin Ren, Zhentao Yang, Xiaofei Chen, Shichuan Yuan, Xuzhen Zheng, Zhanxiang He

Patent number: 11105949Abstract: Disclosed is an electromagnetic prediction method for concealed orebodies. A factor associated with an observation direction and a factor associated with a frequency are retrieved from tensor impedance data after static shift recognition and correction. An electromagnetic recognition factor including anisotropic characteristics is constructed. A probability of a developed orebody in a particular underground depth range of a target area is then inferred by using the electromagnetic recognition factor alone or as a component of comprehensive prediction information. Due to the full use of a potential correlation between anisotropic characteristics of frequency domain electromagnetic fields and an apparent metal factor and two-dimensional (or three-dimensional) extended concealed orebodies, the success rate of predicting spatial locations and attributes of the concealed orebodies is improved.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2020Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of SciencesInventors: Lanfang He, Zhanxiang He, Hongchun Yao, Rujun Chen

Method of poles configuration with four poles inter-combination for marine electromagnetic surveying
Patent number: 9194970Abstract: The present invention is a method of poles configuration with four poles inter-combination for marine electromagnetic surveying and acquisition. The method of the present invention adopts six horizontal electric field components with four poles inter-combination. The six horizontal electric field components are respectively constituted from tri-pins grounding electrodes of four poles pairwise. One of the pins of each of the tri-pins grounding electrodes and the pins of the other three tri-pins grounding electrodes mutually constitute the six horizontal electric field components. The data for electromagnetic field over time series are simultaneously recorded. The present invention effectively ensure that the electric field recording with an angle less than 22.5 degree to the activation direction is achieved regardless of the orientation of the acquisition station, and that the worst effective activation signal may reach 76.5% of that under collinear activation.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2011Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignees: CHINA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, BGP INC., CHINA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATIONInventor: Zhanxiang He -
