3D CSEM scenario feasibility modelling based on geobody techniques

CSEM (Control Source Electromagnetic) technology has reached a level of maturity that integration with the 3D exploration workflow is becoming more common and sophisticated. As we want to build increasingly realistic 3D resistivity models for feasibility testing and survey design, we need to include all available knowledge generated by seismic and geological interpretation and must develop methodologies able to appropriately map the complexities of the subsurface and enable quantification of impacts of topology or scale changes. This paper aims to describe one such methodology and its application to a case study in a turbiditic deep offshore context.
