Realistic 3D CSEM Modelling Based on Advanced Interpretation and Geomodelling Techniques

The mCSEM (marine Control Source Electromagnetic) technique have now reached a level of maturity that it becomes necessary to identify ways to integrate them in the global 3D exploration workflow. As we want to build realistic models for feasibility testing, including all the necessary detailed knowledge generated by seismic and geological interpretation, we must develop methodologies able to map properly the complexities of the subsurface, and able to measure impacts of topology or scale changes. This paper describes such a methodology and its application to a case study in a turbiditic deep offshore context.
