Abstract

The seismoelectric interface electromagnetic characteristics have been studied for the finite offset Vertical Seismoelectric Profiling (VSEP) configuration. The approach consists of theoretical modeling and laboratory verification. The results show that the wave variation characteristics along the finite offset measurement line are markedly different from those along the zero-offset line. More interestingly, the wave characteristics for both configurations can be satisfactorily explained by the electric dipole model for the seismoelectric interface wave radiation. Besides, the experiment confirms the modeling result based on the seismoelectric coupling theory and validates the VSEP technique as an effective method for subsurface interface delineation.
