Field-work automation of hydrocarbon exploration using a passive seismic-electric method

Abstract

The paper proposes to exclude the active source of the seismic field from the measurement scheme, which is often a massive truck with equipment installed on it, which in its turn makes it difficult and increases the cost of field-work. The proposed passive measurement installation allows the detection of hydrocarbon deposits by registering the natural fields of the Earth. All measurements can be carried out by one person due to the use of magnetic antennas. A method of field measurements by means of such installation, as well as measurement data on a real gas condensate field are presented.
