Structure Mapping at Trap Spring Oilfield, Nevada, Using Controlled-source Magnetotellurics
This article gives a particularly good description of the CSAMT method, a type of CSEM surveying in which the transmitter is placed far field from the receiver. At the time of this article, this field practice was necessary to simplify the mathematics involved in modeling the data but is no longer necessary with modern inversion […]
Meeting Water Needs for Shale Gas Exploitation
The recent boom in exploitation of oil shales has dramatically changed the petroluem industry with active extraction occuring in areas once considered barren. Producing gas from these new sources requires the use of huge volumes of groundwater such that producing water and disposing of the waste water are major factors in the financial viability of any fracking […]
