Land EM Acquisition

KMS Technologies provides boutique land and marine non-seismic acquisition services anywhere in the world. We use global alliances partners to provide services, and train customer and local service companies in support of that. With our engineering division, we have the resources to handle a large number of magnetotelluric sites per year and one Lotem crew. Marine systems/surveys are done as collaborative projects. In this area, KMS has patented technology.

Electromagnetic methods describe the Earth’s resistivity from shallow to depths as great as 6 km. They include natural-source EM (magnetotellurics, MT) and controlled-source electromagnetic (tCSEM™ for marine and Lotem for land applications).

As technology company, we usually provide training services or work with alliance partners in the oil and geothermal industry. We offer land MT and Lotem data acquisitions, EM data processing and interpretation services, including 3-D MT data inversion. Integrating MT with seismic has significant benefits in basins where seismic imaging is challenged by overthrusting salt or basalt.

Our track record as KMS Technologies (our staff has extensive prior experience on five continents)

  • Largest commercial sub-salt imaging survey in Germany 2002

  • Advisory land MT survey in Libya 2006

  • First commercial tCSEM™ survey for major oil company

  • 2-D and 3-D geothermal survey in Iceland 2007

  • 2-D and 3-D MT/gravity surveys in Hungary since 10/2007 that resulted in successful geothermal well discovery

  • 3-D Geothermal survey  in Milos, Greece 2009
