Abstract

The results of application of express-technology of direct searching and prospecting for hydrocarbon deposits by geoelectric methods are presented. The technology includes the method of forming of short-pulsed electromagnetic field (FSPEF), flux-meter survey and method of vertical electric-resonance sounding (VERS) (the FSPEF-VERS technology). Integrated application of these methods gives a possibility to find and map on the area the "deposit" type anomalies (DTA), and to define the total thickness and bedding depths of anomalous polarized layer (APL) of "oil layer", "gas layer", "water-saturated layer" type. The FSPEF-VERS technology can be used also for hydrocarbon reservoirs searching and prospecting in sea and ocean water area.
