MARINE CONTROLLED SOURCE ELECTROMAGNETISM - MCSEM

Since its rise in the noughties, the ability of the mCSEM to evaluate the spatial distribution of the resistivity made it a widely used technique of the E&P sector. Indeed, resistivity is a physical quantity which is significantly influenced by HC bearing reservoir.

That course gets back to Electromagnetism basics, other techniques (MT, Transient EM, …) and highlights mCSEM abilities and limitations through some examples and a case study.

After attending that course, participants shall understand abilities and limitations of mCSEM and could be in charge of acquisition/processing QC and feasibility surveys.

This course is based on interactive pedagogy and relies as much as possible on common sense (and not only on computer software applications…).
Numerous practice sessions based on real data will be interpreted, both individually and collectively.
This course is available in French, English and Spanish (with English documentation).

There is no specific requirement for this course. It should be organised in any meeting room with common HSE characteristics, in your company premises or elsewhere.

Day 1 – Morning: Introduction and Electromagnetism Theory (Lecture),
Day 1 – Afternoon: Electromagnetism Theory and Applications to Geosciences (Lecture),
Day 2 – Morning: Focus on feasibility (Practice session), Operations (Lecture), case study (Practice session),
Day 2 – Afternoon: Case study (Practice session) and Course wrap-up.
