In order to realize the coupling of gravity and gravity tensor data,the authors analyzed each component.The results show that different types of data contain different direction information,and derived the joint inversion based on cross gradient function and applied it to model data. The theoretical model results show that the cross gradient method can reduce the multi solution and significantly improve the resolution of the inversion.The method was also applied to inverse the gravity tensor data in Vinton salt dome,showing that this method can get higher resolution results than the separate linear inversion,and be closer to the real density from drilling data.展开更多

Many existing inversion methods lack the competence of processing massive data and practical application capacity. This study proposes the application of GPU parallel processing technology to the focusing inversion method, aiming at improving the inversion accuracy while speeding up calculation and reducing the memory consumption, thus obtaining the fast and reliable inversion results for large complex model. In this paper, equivalent storage of geometric trellis is used to calculate the sensitivity matrix, and the inversion is based on GPU parallel computing technology. The parallel computing program that is optimized by reducing data transfer, access restrictions and instruction restrictions as well as latency hiding greatly reduces the memory usage, speeds up the calculation, and makes the fast inversion of large models possible. By comparing and analyzing the computing speed of traditional single thread CPU method and CUDA-based GPU parallel technology, the excellent acceleration performance of GPU parallel computing is verified, which provides ideas for practical application of some theoretical inversion methods restricted by computing speed and computer memory. The model test verifies that the focusing inversion method can overcome the problem of severe skin effect and ambiguity of geological body boundary. Moreover, the increase of the model cells and inversion data can more clearly depict the boundary position of the abnormal body and delineate its specific shape.展开更多

Spatial gradient weighting was used to constrain the extent of the body horizontally and vertically. A more accurate inversion result can be obtained by combining the prior information into the weighting function and applying it in inversion. This method was tested on synthetic models and the inverted results showed that the resolution was significantly improved. Moreover,the algorithm was applied to the inversion of empirical data from a salt dome located in Texas,USA,which demonstrated the validity of the proposed method.展开更多
