| 20100271032 | Method of testing electric field recording of a marine electromagnetic sensor cable - A method of testing the electric field recording of a marine electromagnetic sensor cable including electrodes is provided. The method includes causing current to flow between a pair of first electrodes disposed along the marine electromagnetic sensor cable. The flow of current generates a voltage that is impressed on a pair of second electrodes disposed along the marine electromagnetic sensor cable. A potential difference between the pair of second electrodes is measured. Accuracy of the electric field recording is inferred from the measured potential difference | 10-28-2010 |
| 20100225324 | MULTI-COMPONENT MARINE ELECTROMAGNETIC SIGNAL AQUISITION METHOD - A method for determining a component of electric field response to a time varying electromagnetic field induced in the Earth's subsurface involves measuring magnetic field gradient in at least two orthogonal directions in response to the induced electromagnetic field and determining an electric field response in a direction normal to the magnetic field gradient measurements. A method for determining a component of electric field response of the Earth's subsurface to a time varying electromagnetic field induced in the Earth's subsurface involves measuring electric field response along a substantially closed pattern on at least one of the Earth's surface and the bottom of a body of water and determining an electric field response in a direction normal to the measured electric field response using electric field response measurements made at opposed positions along the closed pattern. | 09-09-2010 |
