Method of determining electrical anisotropy in a subsurface formation
Abstract:
Method of determining electrical anisotropy in a subsurface formation, wherein electromagnetic field data from a multi-offset electromagnetic survey obtained by using an electromagnetic source and a plurality of electromagnetic receivers at varying offset distances from the source is provided. The electromagnetic field data comprises a first set of multi-offset response signals received at each receiver with the electromagnetic source emitting at a first frequency, and at least one additional set of multi-offset response signals received at each receiver with the electromagnetic source emitting at a different frequency. The presence of electrical anisotropy in the subsurface formation is determined using the first and at least one additional sets of multi-offset response signals. This may comprise comparing the first set and the at least one additional set of multi-offset response signals and determining the presence of electrical anisotropy in the subsurface formation from the comparison of the sets of multi-offset response signals.
