Abstract
Hydrocarbon exploration with electromagnetic methods is mainly done in areas where seismics do not give satisfactory results, for example in areas with volcanic cover. Most commonly a horizontally layered earth is used for interpretation, because in many sedimentary basins 1-D models are a reasonable description of the true earth, or they give starting models for 2-D or 3-D interpretation. Moreover, for transient EM the numerical modeling for 2-D or 3-D structures is extremely time consuming. Even though the progress in 3-D modeling during the last few years has been enormous, the improvement of 1-D interpretation is still important.
