Abstract
A new generation of electromagnetic hardware/software that can be used for land, marine and borehole applications allows us to get better and more dense data. The system uses a seismic-like architecture with nodes, each of which can be expanded with sub-arrays. It combines for the first time electromagnetic and microseismic data recording in a single box on the same time base. The modular architecture allows a fit-for-purpose configuration tailored to the specific exploration / monitoring target. It is not limited by number of channels or components to-be-recorded. For geothermal applications, depending upon the user requirements we define four different configurations suitable: Advanced MT, Broadband MT, Mini MT with AMT, and MT with TDEM. System characterization and a geothermal field example underline the technical features.
