While magnetotellurics has been used extensively in Indonesia, the percentage of good quality data is limited due to the high population density and often the geologic condition. We investigate application of controlled source electromagnetics (CSEM) in the time domain, sometimes also known as long-offset transient electromagnetics (Lotem) because it overcomes the noise issue by using a high-power transmitter. Among many applications for Indonesia we have selected sub-basalt where we can demonstrate the benefit of the technology with successful Lotem case histories of the past and illustrate its new use with 3D modeling. Either diffuse reflection of the seismic wave or high seismic velocities hinder it. EM sees transparently through them. Targets are resistive (hydrocarbon) and conductive (sediments). We are illustrating the success of Lotem with results from Europe and India for similar situations including joint inversion with magnetotellurics. |
