Abstract
The combination of a vertical dipole source and vertical dipole receiver has several advantages for measurements of subsurface resistivity in a marine environment. To fully exploit the capabilities of this methodology the receiver system needs to meet strict requirements with regards to verticality and noise levels. Previously existing receiver systems have met theses technical requirements, but at the cost of operational efficiency as the mode of operation for launch and recovery of has limited the efficiency during data acquisition. In this paper we present a new and operationally efficient receiver system capable of recording high quality vertical E-field data. To meet specifications development on the electronics and the mechanical structure of the unit has been critical.
We will detail key components of the system and present data examples from offshore testing of the system.
