Abstract
In geological prospecting, searching for hydrocarbons has been currently a truly promising trend in geophysical activities. The application of pulse electric exploration coupled with seismic survey, while searching for hydrocarbon fields, essentially (up to 80% or more) reduces the expenses for exploration drilling. The induced polarization (IP) anomalies might originate due to the epigenetic pyrite formed above the deposit within the geochemical barrier hampering atmospheric oxygen penetration. However, the IP anomalies could also be caused by sulfide presence in trap intrusions widespread over the Siberian platform. The paper reports comparison of results on inversion of data on pulse electric exploration with survey of polarization characteristics of core collected within a hydrocarbon deposit in the zone of trap magmatism development.
