Flying over 100 miles offshore and over water up to 1000 feet deep, passive electromagnetic and high resolution magnetic data acquisition was concluded in less than one week with a specifically designed sensor package.
Conventional methods such as Marine Seismic or CSEM would have taken months and costs would have been prohibitive, said Ed Johnson, president of eField Exploration. Our Offshore Airborne System can cover up to 500 line miles per day at a fraction of the cost of a marine survey.
Johnson further noted that the company’s platform includes several sensors including high resolution magnetics and electromagnetics recording data from the air-ocean interface to sub-floor penetration. Satellite data is then inserted to give valuable natural seep mapping.
