Abstract: A system and techniques for detecting near-subsurface voids in the earth use a controlled source electromagnetic transmitter and a plurality of controlled source electromagnetic receivers. Signals received by the plurality of controlled source electromagnetic receivers corresponding to signals generated by the controlled source electromagnetic transmitter are analyzed. Bi-static doublets detected in the received signals are used to identify the location of the near-subsurface voids.
Abstract: Devices and processes provide for geophysical oil, gas, or mineral prospecting and subsurface fluid monitoring, using a controlled source electromagnetic system that transmits a designed probe wave to create images of sub-surface structures and fluids either statically or while in motion.

Assignee:
Deep Imaging Technologies, Inc.
Inventors:
Trevor Keith Charles Pugh, Robert Michael Payton, Timothy Morgan
Abstract: A system and method allows determining the movement of subsurface fluids, gases or solids in the subsurface structure of interest. This allows quantitatively determining the results of surface and subsurface equipment and materials changes. These simple observations may result in significant improvements in field efficiency.

Abstract: Concurrently measuring, correlating, and processing magnetic and electric field data includes measuring base band signals, and then up-converting those band signals to a higher frequency for filtering, while at the same time preserving phase and amplitude information. All timed elements in the system are rigorously synchronized. The increased data set results in improved signal-to-noise ratio and information correlation.
