Boise Hydrogeo-physical Research Site (BHRS)

The Boise Hydrogeophysical Research Site (BHRS) is an in situ field laboratory (research wellfield) that is being developed by CGISS in a shallow, coarse (cobble-and-sand), alluvial aquifer. Our goal is to develop cost-effective, non-invasive methods for quantitatively characterizing the distribution of permeability in heterogeneous aquifers using hydrologic and geophysical techniques. Permeability is the most significant aquifer parameter for quantitatively describing or modeling groundwater flow and contaminant transport, and for designing remediation systems. The BHRS is located on a gravel bar adjacent to the Boise River about 15 km southeast of downtown Boise. Eighteen wells were emplaced at the site in 1997 and 1998. The stratigraphy consists of coarse, cobble-and-sand, braided-stream fluvial deposits that overlie a clay layer at about 20 m depth. The design of the wells and the wellfield provides for a wide range of surface, single-well, cross-hole, multiwell and multilevel hydrologic, geophysical, well log and combined hydrologic-geophysical tests.

At the BHRS our intention is to thoroughly characterize the wellfield as a control volume with “known” 3-D distributions of sedimentary facies, geophysical parameters, and hydrologic parameters. Then responses from geophysical methods, alone and together, can be correlated against known parameter distributions to develop techniques for mapping the 3-D distribution of permeability with non-invasive geophysical methods. Initial efforts will concentrate on three generally accessible geophysical methods: seismic, ground penetrating radar (GPR) and transient or time-domain electromagnetics (TEM). Also a variety of borehole geophysical logs are being run in all wells.

Issues such as resolution, depth of penetration, and the ability to measure or image desired parameters will determine the usefulness of different geophysical methods. For example, GPR provides high resolution subsurface reflection images, but does not penetrate to the deeper parts of the aquifer at the BHRS. TEM, on the other hand, measures the 1-D electrical resistivity distribution with depth throughout the full aquifer thickness, but with less vertical resolution. Additional important data sets from the BHRS are the core analyses and geophysical well logs from the 18 wells at the site. We are using these data to verify and calibrate our geophysical interpretations. The many geophysical methods and acquisition geometries, combined with the well control, will provide an outstanding data set to characterize the heterogeneity of the alluvial aquifer and to develop techniques for mapping permeability with non-invasive geophysical methods.

We are acquiring lots of crosshole tomographic data at the BHRS. To show the tomography data, we have put a movie together (to the left) showing an entire tomography data set. Each panel of the movie shows the recorded wave as the receiver is lowered at 0.25 m intervals down the well. The vertical axis records the depth of the receiver in the well from 1 to 18 meters. The horizontal axis records the time from 0 to 200 ns. Note how the continuity of the signal changes as the receiver passes boundaries beneath the surface.

A variety of acquisition geometries are available with borehole experiments to determine the velocity structure in the subsurface. Level runs (figure to the left), where the source and receiver are lowered down the borehole at the same depths, provide quick, one-dimensional information about the horizontal velocity. Vertical profiles, like VRPs and VSPs, provide information about the vertical interval velocities. Single hole reflection studies are used primarily in consolidated sediments or hard rock to detect fractures in the subsurface. Tomography (figure to the right) provides a detailed, two- or three-dimensional image of the subsurface, but is very time consuming to acquire and process. At the BHRS, we have acquired VRPs, level runs, and tomography data sets, The level runs provide quality control and help calibrate origin times in the tomography data. Velocities obtained from VRPs can help constrain tomographic inversions. Tomographic data, although expensive to acquire, provides detailed information about both vertical and lateral velocity changes in the subsurface.

Crosshole tomography provides a method to determine the velocity structure between two wells. CGISS uses a two-dimensional, finite-difference approximation to the eikonal equation to generate ray paths through the model. In the inversion, we use a weighted, damped, least squares approach to solve the ill-posed, ill-conditioned problem. We are investigating different ways to incorporate constraints on the problem to compute a more accurate subsurface velocity distribution. The most common method to constrain the solution invokes Occam’s razor. Occam’s razor states that in the absence of other information, use the simplest solution. For tomographic inversion, the procedure imposes the simplest structure on the model that fits the data. Thus smoothness constraints are used when inverting the data. Another approach that is gaining acceptance is Bayesian inversion. In the Bayesian case, the inversion routine incorporates a priori information to constrain the model. Bayesian inversion can update the inverted model as more information about the subsurface is discovered.

Formal inversion methods enable an error analysis of the results. Unfortunately, most routines use a method that solves for the model directly, without computing the inverse solution. We are modifying inversion algorithms to compute or approximate the matrix inverse, so that we can assess the resolution and uncertainty in our models. Error analysis is a crucial aspect of inversion that warrants further research into both efficient error computation and interpretaion of error distribution in the modeled space.
