Abstract
Based on the study on electromagnetic field migration by Zhdanov, we have proposed an improved method for the weak points in the research. Firstly, the initial background resistivity should be determined by using 1-D inversion results. Then in the process of continuation, the results are corrected and calculated layer by layer by the iteration method, so that more exact resistivity can be obtained. Secondly, an improved algorithm for finite-difference equation is studied. According to the property of electromagnetic migration field, the algorithm is designed by means of grids varying with geometric progression in the longitudinal direction. Being improved by the techniques mentioned above, better results are obtained by the new method, which has been verified by both the theory model and practical data.
