Abstract

Summary

Full QC of MT data is usually performed by interrupting data recordings. This limits the amount of low-frequency data recorded and therefore the quality of the degrades the response.

In this study, we present a new type of workflow supported by the live transfer of MT data over a cellular network. QC of operations and data can be performed remotely at any time under this new workflow. This permits extending the duration of the recordings and matches the expected data quality for every recording. This approach was tested during a geothermal exploration project, consisting of 3 MT systems hooked up to a cellular network. Receivers transferred the data to the cloud in real-time. Live QC allowed us to move the MT sites to the next location after acquiring the lowest desired frequency with sufficient data quality. Daily production increased by %45 using the workflow without sacrificing the data quality.
