A Set of In-Well Receiver Array for Borehole Induced Polarization Detecting Technology in Deep Mine Exploration

With the rapid development of the economy, the demand for mineral resources has increased dramatically. Because it is difficult to explore new mines in deep and peripheral areas, new theories, technologies, methods, and equipment are needed. How to accurately and effectively carry out new mine exploration has become an urgent research topic. In this study, based on the requirements of mine exploration within a depth of 3000 m, an array receiver for borehole-induced polarization was developed. Each channel of the receiver array independently acquires data, and it is able to carry out full waveform acquisition in the dual voltage and voltage difference mode. The structure of the receiver array can be flexibly adjusted to obtain array observations of induced polarization in different ways. Experiments demonstrated that the device works well at a high temperature of 155 °C, its resolution reached 0.1 μV, and the error between the different channels was less than 3%. Its dynamic range is 180 db. Through experiments on induced polarization in a demonstration mining area, the apparent resistivity curve and the apparent polarization curve were determined to be consistent with the known well-logging information, and the interpretation results were in agreement with the stratum information.
