Magnetotelluric Method in Hydrocarbon Prospecting – Case Study from the Polish Carpathians

P323 MAGNETOTELLURIC METHOD IN HYDROCARBON PROSPECTING – CASE STUDY FROM THE POLISH CARPATHIANS Introduction 1 In Poland the magnetotelluric investigations are applied in hydrocarbon prospecting prior to the seismic survey to preliminary recognition of the geological structure as well as to supplement and support seismic data interpretation for areas with complex geology. Many MT investigations were carried out in the Carpathians where the efficiency of reflection seismic survey is poor as a result of the complex structure of the flysch cover of the Carpathian overthrust. Exploration works in the outer zone of the Carpathians are concentrated on autochthonous Miocene sediments
