Software

Quantum Prospecting has spent many years developing advanced software models to process survey data for both vertical and horizontal source surveys.

Our software creates a database from data received by SQUID sensors, along with host formation details. This database allows data cataloguing and mapping, with graphical outputs that include options for contour map and colour grid. The vertical source capability incorporates the added benefit of 3D modeling.

The host formation model is created using well resistivity logs. The logs are taken from existing wells nearest the zone of interest and combined with seismic survey and geological data. Multiple standard las-file resistivity logs are input to construct an integral conductance curve, giving horizon information. Seismic data is then input into horizon tables, giving us all required layer depths.

For a vertical source, the host formation model is supplementary, since the host formation does not interfere with the signal and is used for 3D modeling, as a radial component of the magnetic field is available for both sources. For the horizontal source, the host formation is used for data correlation and it is the variance between the theoretical host formation signal and our survey data that gives us the anomaly where oil is present.

Signal mapping from the signal received by SQUID sensors consists of area mapping and signal cross-sections. For every measurement point, layer tables and a signal time derivative is calculated.

Our modeling capabilities include the construction of interpolated maps that allows both magnetic and electric field maps through the use of tomographic inversion: current maps are reconstructed from magnetic field information, and resistivity can then be viewed directly.
