Description
Summary:This project focuses on the effect of frequency and medium resistivity on the propagation of Electromagnetic (EM) wave toward its application in Sea-Bed Logging (SBL). SBL is an application of the Marine Controlled Source Electromagnetic (CSEM) method where the idea is to guide the electromagnetic energy in the thin resistive medium within conductive sediments. This method has been introduced for long time before but it application in SBL is relatively new. The application in hydrocarbon detection has not been developed until recently due to the problem of uncertainty of significant response from thin resistive layer where the EM energy is easily attenuated in sea water. This project will apply the same concept of SBL by using a scaled tank. Throughout the experiments, the value of frequencies is varied and different medium resistivity is used. Then, the data is analyzed and compared with the theoretical value and from there, the effects of the frequency and medium resistivity are determined. The data is taken by considering many perspectives and patterns in the real offshore structure.
