3 Ohm s Law (discovered in 827) V = IR Georg Simon Ohm ( )
4 It's Resistivity, NOT Resistance R = ρ = ρ L A RA L So the unit for resistivity is ohm-meter
5 For a point source in an infinity medium, we have the resistance R and potential V expressed as = = = = = = = S jds I r I r I IR V r r r A L R σ π π ρ π ρ π ρ ρ
6 Furthermore ρ = 4 π rv I or σ = 4 I π rv This resistivity is called the apparent resistivity. Only when the material is uniform, the apparent resisitivity is equal to the constant, real resistivity. ρ 4πrV 4πr V 4πr V = = = = a I ri I r 2 2 V jr
7 Most geophysical resistivity surveys have the measurements occurred at the surface of the earth. The air above the ground is literally an insulator (zero conductivity) and the current only flows in the ground. Thus, for calculating the current density on an equal-potential sphere, the surface area becomes from the closed spherical surface to the surface of the lower-hemisphere, and the potential changes to Electric field and current V = ρ 2 I π r I E = gradv = V J = σe = σ V r V
8 In practice, the field surveys usually measure the Voltage V, other than the potential itself. This voltage V is the difference of potential between 2 points. IN DC resistivity surveys the voltage is usually measured by two electrodes planted on the surface. ρ I ρ I V = V V 3 = I 2πr 2πr 3 r r 3 V V 3
9 For the current can be physically flowing through the ground, we have to have 2 poles: one for current injected in (source) and one for the current flow out (sink). Thus, both the source and sink will generate an electric potential, but with opposite Dipole polarity. V V 2 = and 2 = ρ I π r 2 ρi πr 2 r r 2
10 And the total potential for the two poles is ) ( r r I r I r I V V V = = + = π ρ π ρ π ρ And the total voltage between two points generated by the two poles is ) ( 2 ) 2 2 ( ) 2 2 ( r r r r I r I r I r I r I V V V + = = + = π ρ π ρ π ρ π ρ π ρ

23 CHOICE OF THE BEST ARRAY Depends on: ) type of structure to be mapped 2) sensitivity of the resistivity meter 3) background noise level Things to be considered: ) depth of investigation 2) sensitivity of the array to vertical and horizontal structures 3) horizontal data coverage 4) signal strength.
24 DIPOLE-DIPOLE ADVANTAGES Low EM coupling between current and potential circuits Good for depth penetration High resolution and is sensitive to vertical resistivity boundaries (e.g. dykes and cavities)
25 DIPOLE-DIPOLE DISADVANTAGES Poor for vertical resolution of horizontal structures (e.g. sills or sedimentary layers) Data collected from dipole-dipole array are easily affected by near-surface resistivity variations and therefore can produce noisy data at sites with cultural relics Small signal strength for large values of n

47 Electric current in layered media The current flow in the layered media deviates from that observed in the homogeneous media. In particular, notice that in the layered media the current flow lines are distorted in such a way that current preferentially seems to be attracted to the lower-resistivity portion of the layered media. In the model on the left, current appears to be pulled downward into the 50 ohm-m layer. In the model on the right, current appears to be bent upward, trying to remain within the lower resistivity layer at the top of the model. This shouldn't be surprising. What we are observing is the current's preference toward flowing through the path of least resistance. For the model on the left, that path is through the deep layer. For the model on the right, that path is through the shallow layer.

54 CURRENT CONDUCTION IN ROCKS Electrolytic conduction occurs by the relatively slow movement of ions within an electrolyte Electronic conduction is the process by which metals, for example, allow electrons to move rapidly, so carrying the charge This is applicable in zero and low frequency case

The averaged formation conductivity found by the DC resistivity tomography is millisiemens per meter. By assuming the porosity is 35%, 00 % saturation, and a =.0, m=2.0 and by Archie s law, what is the estimated formation conductivity?
