Abstract
Summary
Several different CSEM technologies are currently commercially available for offshore exploration, with different characteristics and advantages. Few direct and realistic comparisons between the different methodologies have been made.
In this paper we use a 2.5D finite element code capable of handling both frequency domain and time domain to investigate potential for depth penetration for two methods, horizontal source frequency domain and vertical source time domain. Synthetic data with realistic noise levels has been generated for specific simple models and then inverted. Our results show that vertical time domain solution has potential to resolve deeper targets for the assumed conditions.
