| Objective |
Raise detection rates
Reduce risk
Highlight the best prospects for drilling. |
| How does it work? |
CSEM defines resistive anomalies in the subsurface and can be used as a direct hydrocarbon indicator. The interpretation of this data, when constrained by high quality seismic, can substantially reduce the risk on an exploration prospect. |
