Abstract
Due to the phenomena of stratigraphic inclination, complex structure, and lateral discontinuity of resistivity or layer thickness in most of the coal seams, the traditional one-dimensional transient electromagnetic inversion method has limitations in interpretation accuracy. In addition, two- and three-dimensional inversion and artificial intelligence inversion have problems of large computation and large sample size, respectively, which limit their application in small- and medium-sized engineering exploration. To improve the inversion effect, this study proposes a method of joint-constrained inversion of transient electromagnetic multivariate parameters. This method achieves the joint constraint inversion of the transient electromagnetic multi-parameter by making full use of the geological data and a priori information to construct the initial model and adding the constraints such as the resistivity, the thickness, and the layer interface of each layer in the inversion objective function, and at the same time, taking into account the spatial correlation of the stratigraphic structure between the neighboring measurement points, as well as the transverse and vertical constraints between the measurement points along the direction of the survey line and perpendicular to the survey line. First, a series of typical geoelectric models are established and numerically simulated, and the results are compared with those of the traditional inversion method to verify the applicability and effectiveness of the method. Then, the constrained inversion is carried out on the physical simulation and measured data, and the results are in good agreement with the actual geological conditions. The numerical simulation, physical simulation and measured data inversion results consistently prove that this method can effectively reduce the uncertainty of the inversion at the isolated measuring points, improve the spatial continuity of the formation boundary, and better reflect the actual geoelectric characteristics of the formation.
