Abstract
We present a novel land EM source. By arranging 8 horizontal dipoles in a radial pattern an EM field can be generated that contains only the TM mode of the electromagnetic field. This results in a superior sensitivity towards resistive targets. Specialized equipment has been build to generate the TM mode source field. The methodology has been successfully tested on several oil reservoirs in Russia and the USA.
