ABSTRACT:
In a sub-soil prospecting process a vertical magnetic field transmitter dipole and a receiver dipole are placed on the ground, away from each other. The receiver dipole is oriented to detect a radial horizontal magnetic field relative to the transmitter dipole. At low frequencies, the magnetic field detected assumes asymptotic values, and by measuring these values an apparent alternating current resistivity of the sub-soil is deduced. By varying the transmitter-receiver distance, and by simultaneously using a direct current electric prospecting process, a sub-soil model is determined which is less ambiguous than those supplied by electric or induction prospecting alone.
