摘要： A method and apparatus for generating an electromagnetic (EM) field from a sub-sea source is disclosed. In one embodiment, a sub-sea source includes a step-down transformer coupled to receive a sinusoidal source wave via a tow cable, and is further coupled to output a sinusoidal wave to a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) circuit. A control circuit coupled to the SCR circuit is configured to selectively activate various ones of the SCRs therein in order to control a portion of the sinusoidal wave that is rectified. The output current provided by the SCR is determined by the portion of the sinusoidal wave that is rectified thereby. The output current is provided to electrodes coupled to the sub-sea source, and the output current is passed therebetween. The strength of the EM field is based on the output current.

摘要： A marine electromagnetic survey source includes a power cable configured to couple to a high voltage power supply at one axial end and to a head unit at the other axial end. The head unit includes equipment configured to output a lower voltage at higher current than the current imparted thereto by high voltage power supply. The head unit has an electrically conductive exterior coupled to one output terminal of the equipment. An electromagnetic antenna cable having an electrode thereon is coupled to the head unit and configured to receive the output of another terminal of the head unit equipment. In some implementations, electromagnetic fields are induced in formations by conducting current to the equipment. Marine geophysical surveys are conducted utilizing such induction of electromagnetic fields.
