Execution of deep dipole geoelectrical soundings in areas of geothermal interest. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5612490
It is suggested that deep geoelectrical problems may be resolved by carrying out dipole soundings in the field and applying a quantitative interpretation in the Schlumberger domain. The 'transformation' of original field dipole sounding curves into equivalent Schlumberger curves is outlined for the cases of layered structures and arbitrary underground structures. Theoretical apparent resistivity curves are derived for soundings over bidimensional structures. Following a summary of the geological features of the Travale-Radicondoli geothermal area of Italy, the dipole sounding method employed for this field study and the means of collecting and analyzing the data, are outlined.
