Abstract

This study presents a novel technique for modeling marine controlled-source electromagnetic data for 2D models. The algorithm uses a space domain approach to solve the governing Helmholtz equation. Therefore, it does not require the inverse Fourier transform to obtain the space domain data, as is the case for conventional wavenumber domain algorithms. An inverse modeling code is developed utilizing the proposed forward modeling algorithm. The Troll field data is used to analyze the developed code's versatility
