Geoelectrical Signature of Hydrocarbons – A Case Study

The detection of the organic contaminants, such as hydrocarbons commonly known as LNAPL in the ground has become of great interest to the geophysicists particularly in the last few years. A detailed geophysical survey has been planned based primarily on the use of the electrical resistivity methods, to locate groundwater contamination sources. The geophysical signature of the hydrocarbon contamination has been discussed in this work.
