| Summary | Transient electromagnetic (TEM) method has been utilized mostly for exploration of metal deposits at the depth less than several hundred meters. In order to apply TEM to deeper targets such as geothermal or oil reservoir, we have developed a TEM system with 3-axis high-temperature superconducting quantum interference device (HTS-SQUID) magnetic sensors with high durability against external magnetic field as well as high sensitivity. It has been demonstrated that this system combined with a grounded line excitation source and 3D inversion analysis provide high-resolution resistivity mapping at depths from a few tens of meters to 3000-4000m in geothermal regions and also water/CO2 injected formations for CO2 storage or mineralization. |
