1D Modelling Electromagnetic (Em) Waves For Offshore Application

The aim of this project was to develop 1D and 3D electromagnetic plane layer modeling for offshore application by using MATLAB and C-Language programming software. Geophysicist has found that by using Electromagnetic (EM) wave technique give them very promising result compare to widely use technique, seismic survey due to cannot distinguish between hydrocarbon and water. EM wave technique have the ability to distinguish layer by their resistivity and due to hydrocarbon resistivity is much higher compare to water, this two layer can be distinguish. The problems with this technique is that it cannot use for shallow water hydrocarbon due to the EM waves is refracted and reflected back by the sea surface to the seafloor receiver. This project will involve with the application of the EM waves and the study 1D and 3D EM plane layer modeling. In the end, the EM wave technique can be implemented for shallow water hydrocarbon exploration. All the data obtained from the receiver will be process and use for 1D and 3D EM plane layer modeling.
