ABSTRACT:
Method and computer program for accepting controlled-source electromagnetic (“CSEM”) source and receiver data (40) as time series, transforming these data into the time-frequency domain, and reducing these data and survey metadata to a form suitable for interpretation or inversion. The invention includes: a number of processing tools or programs (30), each designed to take a specific action on CSEM data or metadata, combine data types in some way, and/or provide a visual representation of data; a Graphical User Interface (32) to specify the action of specific tools (34) on specific data, supply parameters to tools, and monitor progress of the processing project; and a specified common internal data format, so that processing tools may be applied in various orders (36) during different processing flows and processed CSEM data can be passed on to interpretation or inversion systems.
