Abstract
Modeling of the Vertical-Vertical Controled Source Electromagtic Method
(VVCSEM) on COMSOL Multiphysics. The VVCSEM method is, strictly
speaking, an MCSEM (Marine Controlled Source ElectroMagnetic) that uses
a vertical electric dipole as source, vertically oriented receivers, and
time domain acquisition mode. Its main application is reservoir
monitoring, reducing ambiguities encountered by conventional seismic and
minimizing exploration risks in fields with complex geology. The present
study shows the results of three-dimensional (3D) VVCSEM modeling built
in COMSOL Multiphysics, aiming to analyze the electromagnetic field
responses in different models and configurations. The VVCSEM proved to
be efficient in detecting the proposed resistive anomalies, as expected
and described in the literature.
