Abstract

Abstract

An integrated electromagnetic and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method is proposed for investigating highly conductive soil areas. Using a simple model of a homogeneous half‐space and the same antenna for both methods, a significant improvement in the NMR data interpretation is obtained. A case study has shown fair agreement between the results from computer modelling, field tests, and data from a nearby observation well. The electromagnetic method and the half‐space model were selected for easy integration into an existing instrument used for the NMR method. A more accurate knowledge of the conductivity distribution with depth will further improve the final result.
