Technological development and challenges for the advancement of 3D marine CSEM survey

Abstract

In recent years, Marine controlled source electromagnetic （CSEM） technology has played an effective role to reduce the exploration risk in marine area. Meanwhile, the application of Marine CSEM is not easy due to its expensive survey cost and difficulty of quality control for data acquisition and analysis. Therefore, authors constituted the research consortium and advances the Marine CSEM technological development based on the know-how cultivated at university and research institute. In this paper, we discuss current status and future technological development of the consortium.
