Abstract

Summary

In this study we use controlled source electromagnetics (CSEM), well log data and rock physics modelling to understand the controls and trends of electrical anisotropy in the Barents Sea. Electrical anisotropy in the Barents Sea is extremely variable, with values as high as 1:40. Disregarding resistivity anisotropy will lead to misleading CSEM survey feasibility studies, inaccurate CSEM data analysis, inaccurate estimations of hydrocarbon saturations and, consequently, erroneous interpretations.
