    Abstract: A method for interpreting transient electromagnetic survey data includes imparting an electromagnetic field in the Earth's subsurface by passing electric current through a transmitter antenna. The electric current includes switched direct current at a selected switching frequency. Voltages induced in a receiver corresponding to electromagnetic effects induced in the Earth's subsurface are detected. Frequency domain electromagnetic response of the Earth's subsurface is determined from the detected voltages and transient electromagnetic response of the Earth's subsurface is determined from the detected voltages.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining spatial distribution of resistivity of Earth formations surrounding a wellbore having a conductive pipe therein. The method includes measuring resistivity of the Earth formations using measurements of current leakage along the pipe at selected axial positions. Electromagnetic properties of the Earth formations are measured from within the pipe. The measurements of electromagnetic properties correspond to a larger axial distance and to a greater lateral distance than the measurements of resistivity from current leakage. The current leakage and electromagnetic measurements are jointly inverted to obtain a model of the spatial distribution.

    Abstract: A method for determining spatial distribution of properties of the Earth's subsurface includes obtaining seismic data over a survey area of the Earth's subsurface. Controlled source electromagnetic survey data are obtained over substantially the same survey area. An initial model of the Earth's subsurface for each of the seismic data and the electromagnetic data is generated. Further data may include gravity, magnetics, seismics any type and borehole data. Each model is optimized on at least one model parameter. Consistency is determined between the models; and the at least one model parameter is adjusted and the optimizing and determining consistency are repeated until the models are consistent. Constraints are successively derived from the data sets and also cross checked against reservoir data where available.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A method for interpreting transient electromagnetic survey data includes measuring transient response of a medium over a plurality of switching events. The measured transient response to a first one of the current switching events is modeled. Transient response to the model for at least one current switching event prior in time to the at least a first current switching event is calculated. The calculated transient response is summed with the first event measured response and the sum is compared to the electromagnetic survey measurements. The model is adjusted and the calculating summed transient responses is repeated until a difference between the summed calculated responses and the survey measurements falls below a selected threshold.
