Dr. Kurt Strack is giving a seminar "Advances in integrated EM for geothermal exploration" at the University of California

06.30.2011

Electromagnetic methods are used routinely for geothermal exploration worldwide. During the past 10 years, 3D electromagnetic acquisition and interpretation methods have helped with deriving more realistic geological models. Magnetotellurics (MT) is the most commonly used EM methods. We show 3 case histories where 3D and 2D acquisition and interpretation are carried out.

World Oil May 2011: KMS technologies is featured in What's new in exploration column

05.09.2011

Underutilized EM technologies become more adaptable, affordable

Electromagnetic (EM) systems are rarely discussed or used for exploration in the US but have been in continuous use elsewhere in the world. EM is excellent for basin reconnaissance, producing accurate depth to basement, which is not always as obvious on seismic. Time-domain EM can be used to provide static corrections for seismic. Magnetotellurics (MT) shows great promise in high-resistivity formations, penetrating basalt to image underlying sedimentary rock, and in reservoir modeling, to monitor a flood front from the surface. If today’s electromagnetic technology can be used to better constrain plays, it can reduce exploration risk.

Transient Geo-Electromagnetics book is available from EAGE

04.27.2011

This book is a great summary of time domain electromagnetics. It also explains how time domain EM is related to induced polarization in a badly needed clarity. In the last decade time domain electromagnetics has been reinvented in the context of hydrocarbon exploration and many ideas from previous decades were restarted, in many instances without remembering the prior achievements. Euro 100 for EAGE members and Euro 110 for non-members.  For more details, please visit http://www.eage.org/bookshop/main.phtml?action=details&id=656

Geothermal exploration using AMT/MT and gravity techniques in Hungary

10.30.2009

Hungary is one of the most promising countries in Europe for utilization of low-temperature (<150° C) geothermal energy because of its high thermal gradient reaching almost 122° F/.6 mile (50° C/km) over most of the country. The high gradient is mainly caused by a relatively thin layer of Earth's crust in that area and partly due to the non-permeable lower Pannonian sediment layer that covers a large part of the country.

KMS Technologies provides industry education in EM for Petroleum

06.06.2009

KMS Technologies offers to the industry a comprehensive curriculum of education in EM methods in E&P. The courses can be tailored to the target audience and are taught by world reknowned experts.

In recent years, EM methods successfully reduced E&P risk. However, a significant impediment to the profitable use of EM in E&P is a critical shortage of EM expertise on the technical staff, and within the management, of the operating companies who could use this technology in their core businesses. To address this problem, KMS Technologies undertakes to offer a comprehensive curriculum of education in EM methods to E&P professionals and managers, at all levels of expertise.
