초록

자연 전자기장을 이용하여 지하 매질의 전기적 구조를 규명하는 자기지전류(magnetotelluric; MT) 탐사의 정확한 해석을 위해서는 특정 전기적 구조에 대한 정확한 수치적 반응을 구할 수 있는 3차원 모델링이 필수적이다. 특히, 매질내에 전기적 이방성이 있을 때는 MT 반응이 달라지므로 전기적 이방성의 영향을 고려한 MT 탐사 모델링이 필요하다. 특히, MT 탐사기법을 이용한 지열저류층의 모니터링과 같이 MT 반응의 작은 변화를 분석해야 하는 시간경과 자료의 해석의 경우, 대상 지역에 이방성이 존재할 경우 이를 고려할 수 있는 정확한 모델링이 필수적이다. 이 연구에서는 기존의 등방성만을 고려하던 유한차분법 MT 모델링 알고리듬을 수직 혹은 수평 횡등방성 이방성을 고려할 수 있도록 개선하였다. 개발한 알고리듬을 박리층 모델을 이용하여 검증한 후, 수직횡등방성 이방성이 MT 반응에 미치는 영향에 대해서 분석하였다. 향후에는 수평 횡등방성 이방성이 MT 반응에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 분석하고자 하며, 알고리듬을 더욱 발전시켜 경사 횡등방성 이방성까지 고려할 수 있도록 발전시키고자 한다.

Magnetotelluric (MT) survey investigates electrical structure of subsurface by measuring natural electromagnetic fields on the earth surface. For the accurate interpretation of MT data, the precise three-dimensional (3-D) modeling algorithm is prerequisite. Since MT responses are affected by electrical anisotropy of medium, the modeling algorithm has to incorporate the electrical anisotropy especially when analyzing time-lapse MT data sets, for monitoring engineered geothermal system (EGS) reservoir, because changes in different-vintage MT-data sets are small. This study developed a MT modeling algorithm for the simulation MT responses in the presence of electrical anisotropy by improving a pre-existing staggered-grid finite-difference MT modeling algorithm. After verifying the developed algorithm, we analyzed the effect of vertical transversely isotropic (VTI) anisotropy on MT responses. In addition, we are planning to extend the applicability of the developed algorithm which can simulate not only the horizontal transversely isotropic (HTI) anisotropy, but also the tiled transversely isotropic (TTI) anisotropy.
