    摘要: A method for determining properties of rock formations using drill string vibration measurements includes entering into a processor signals corresponding to vibrations detected along a rotating part of a drill string while drilling a borehole. The vibration signals are transformed into transformed signals representing elastic response of the drill string, the rock formations and borehole fluid to a filtered impulse originating at a known location along the drill string. Properties of the rock formations are calculated using the transformed signals.

    摘要: A vibration while drilling acquisition and signal processing system include a sensor assembly affixable to a drill string in a drilling unit and a sensor for detecting vibrations in the drill string. A first processor is in signal communication with the sensor and is programmed to digitally sample signals from the sensor. A transmitter in signal communication with the first processor communicates the digitized signals to a device disposed apart from the drill string. The first processor is programmed to operate the signal. An electric power source to provides power to the sensor, the first processor and transmitter. Either or both the first processor and a second processor associated with the device is programmed to calculate properties of rock formations using only detected vibration signals from the drill string.

    摘要: Respective embodiments disclosed herein include methods and apparatuses (1) for surveying a mine bench or other material body using at least seismic data obtained via geophone and measurement module data synchronized via a wireless link; (2) for generating hyperspectral panoramic imaging data of a blast hole or other borehole; or (3) for allowing a neural network to facilitate a differential blast design that targets a first bench part more weakly than the differential blast design targets a second bench part (along the same mine bench) at least partly based on data indicative of a much higher concentration of a valuable material in the second bench part than in the first.

    摘要: In addition to drilling operations a hard rock drill rig is used to induce seismic energy into subsurface rock formations. In quartz rich rock the seismic energy will partially convert to electrical energy thereby allowing for the prospecting of ore-bearing quartz veins. Seismic energy and electric energy are detected by a sensor array. The electric energy is used to infer the presence of piezoelectric materials in the rock formations, and such materials are mapped using the detected seismic energy and electric energy.
