ABSTRACT:
A method for survey of hydrocarbon deposits in a researched profile of sea-bottom comprises providing a generator generating pulse electric current with a generator frequency in a towable generator line exciting electric field signals measured by sea-bottom stations synchronized with the generator, forming space-domain data arrays for the generator frequency and for higher odd harmonics frequencies nearest thereto, forming time-domain data arrays for selected offsets, inversion of the time-domain and space-domain data, and determining a bottom strata resistivity and polarization characteristics for the researched profile, based the inversion's results. The inversion preferably encompasses synchronizing and adjusting the generator line and electric field signals, dividing them into a frequency branch, including a fast Fourier transform and a robust summation producing the space-domain arrays, and a time-domain branch, including a robust summation producing the time-domain arrays. Embodiments include transient field analysis with spatial derivatives, special towing configurations, generator line types choices, etc.
