概要 A 3D marine controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) survey for mapping hydrocarbons uses dozens of ocean-bottom electric (OBE) receivers deployed in a grid pattern and several transmitter towlines. T...his study considers seafloor massive sulfides (SMS) exploration, and the horizontal survey scale of SMS is a few kilometers, which is small compared with hydrocarbon surveys of tens of kilometers. If we apply a 3D CSEM survey using a receiver deployment on grids to map SMS, high survey costs will be incurred despite the small survey size. We have developed a cost-effective 3D marine CSEM survey that uses fewer receivers than the survey with a receiver deployment on grids to reduce survey costs for SMS. This CSEM survey uses a line of OBE receivers in the center of the survey area and several transmitter towlines. Numerical tests demonstrate that our survey (seven OBE receivers) using 80% fewer receivers than the survey with a receiver deployment on grids (35 OBE receivers) is able to accurately map SMS, obtaining a performance similar to that of the receiver deployment on grids. Then, we explore SMS in the Ieyama hydrothermal area off Okinawa, southwest Japan, using our 3D CSEM survey with a line of six OBE receivers and three transmitter towlines. The resulting 3D resistivity distribution from the observed data highlights three potential SMS zones consisting of 0.2 ohm-m low resistivity embedded into 1 ohm-m sediment.続きを見る
