Abstract
- The surface-to-borehole transient electromagnetic (SBTEM) method can provide images at higher resolution for deep earth because its receivers are close to targets. However, as usually the boreholes distribute sparsely, the limited EM data can result in an "equivalent trap" in SBTEM inversions, i.e., the data are well-fitted, but the model is not properly recovered. To overcome this non-unique problem, we propose a dual-mesh three-dimensional (3D) SBTEM inversion scheme. We first use a coarse mesh to obtain a rough resistivity distribution near the borehole, and then we map the coarse mesh attribute into a fine one and capture details from the fine mesh inversion. We test our method on both synthetic data and survey data acquired in Daye, Hubei Province, China. Numerical experiments show that our dual-mesh inversion strategy can better recover the location and resistivity of targets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
