    摘要: Electromagnetic field monitoring methods and systems for obtaining data corresponding to subsurface rock formations. An electromagnetic field monitoring system includes an electromagnetic transmitter located downhole in a well bore and configured to radiate electromagnetic radiation into a subsurface formation; a fiber optic cable coupled with a fiber optic interrogator, the at least one fiber optic cable and the interrogator located at the surface; and an array of electromagnetic sensors integrally formed in the fiber optic cable and configured to detect the electromagnetic radiation radiated through the subsurface formation. A method of detecting electromagnetic radiation at the surface of an oil well includes transmitting, from an electromagnetic transmitter, electromagnetic radiation into a subsurface formation; and sensing, from the subsurface formation, electromagnetic radiation at the surface of the oil well.

    摘要: A well monitoring system includes a plurality of transmitter coils coupled to an exterior of a casing positioned within a wellbore, wherein one or more first transmitter coils are positioned at a first location and one or more second transmitter coils are positioned at a second location axially offset from the first location. At least one receiver coil is coupled to the exterior of the casing and positioned at the second location. A power source is communicably coupled to the one or more first and second transmitter coils. The one or more first transmitter coils generates a magnetic field detectable by the at least one receiver coil, and the one or more second transmitter coils generates a bucking signal that minimizes a direct coupling between the one or more first transmitter coils and the at least one receiver coil.
