Understanding of Grounded-Wire TEM Sounding with Near-Source Configuration

Xue Guo-Qiang, Chen Wei-Ying, Zhou Nan-Nan, Li Hai and Zhong Hua-Sen

In order to understand the near-source TEM sounding method, the topic on the time domain electromagnetic exploration of deep targets is addressed using a grounded dipole source. At first, the development of the near source TEM is reviewed in this paper, then a new kind of technique capable of detecting geological targets located at deeper levels in the subsurface is proposed using the short-offset transient electromagnetic method (hereafter referred to as SOTEM). The detection abilities of this system, such as the feasibility of near-source detection for SOTEM, the investigation depth of SOTEM and the sensitivity of SOTEM, have been analyzed. The conclusion has been achieved that the proposed method is more applicable and convenient for exploration and could be used to obtain a greater detection depth with higher detection accuracy.
