Abstract

Abstract

Since the late 1990s, the continuous development and application of the Controlled-Source Electromagnetic (CSEM) technology have vastly improved its usage in exploration (e.g., Constable, 2010; Løseth et al., 2015; Zach et al., 2009). CSEM inversion results are the main input for interpretation of resistivity data, especially potential fluid anomalies. Complementary to other geophysical methods, e.g. Amplitude versus Offset (AVO), it can therefore be a valuable tool in hydrocarbon exploration.
