摘要： A method for subsurface Earth surveying includes acquiring seismic data over a selected region of the Earth's subsurface. Seismoelectric data are acquired over a selected region of the Earth's subsurface. Electroseismic data are also acquired over a selected region of the Earth's subsurface.

摘要： An instrument is disclosed for measuring resistivity of Earth formations from within a conductive pipe inside a wellbore drilled through the formations. The instrument includes a plurality of housings connected end to end and adapted to traverse the wellbore. At least one electrode is disposed on each housing. Each electrode is adapted to be placed in electrical contact with the inside of the pipe. The instrument includes a source of electrical current, a digital voltage measuring circuit and a switch. The switch is arranged to connect the source of electrical current between one of the electrodes and a current return at a selectable one of the top of the pipe and a location near the Earth's surface at a selected distance from the top of the pipe, and to connect selected pairs of the electrodes to the digital voltage measuring circuit. The pairs are selected to make voltage measurements corresponding to selected axial distances and selected lateral depths in the Earth formations.

摘要： A method for controlled source electromagnetic Earth surveying includes deploying a plurality of electromagnetic sensors in a selected pattern at the top of an area of the Earth's subsurface to be surveyed. At least one of a transient electric field and a transient magnetic field is applied to the Earth in the vicinity of the sensors at a plurality of different positions. At least one of electric field amplitude and magnetic field amplitude at each of the sensors is recorded each time the transient electric field and/or magnetic field is applied. Each recording is adjusted for acquisition geometry. An image is generated corresponding to at least one sensor position using at least two stacked, adjusted recordings.

The preferred embodiment includes inserting a sonde into the wellbore, the sonde having a plurality of electrodes at axially spaced apart locations adapted to electrically contact the casing, applying electrical current between a first and a second one of the electrodes and measuring the current, measuring a first voltage between a first pair of electrodes axially disposed between the first and second electrodes and measuring a second voltage between a second pair of electrodes also axially disposed between the first and second electrodes and disposed externally to the first pair to determine casing resistance in between the pairs of electrodes. A second difference between the first and second voltages is also measured. Current is applied between other electrodes axially disposed to exclude a third pair of electrodes therebetween, and a third voltage is measured between the third pair to determine characteristic impedance. Current is applied between the first electrode and a surface return electrode, a fourth voltage is measured between the first pair of electrodes, a fifth voltage is measured between the second pair of electrodes, an additional second difference of voltages between the fourth voltage and the fifth voltage is measured, and formation resistivity is determined by combining the first voltage, the second voltage, the third voltage, the fourth voltage, the fifth voltage, the current measurements, the second difference and the additional second difference of the voltages.
