Abstract
Although the field acquisition of magnetotelluric data can be done in 3D surveys, the 3D data processing and inversion still have significant shortcomings. Here we show a 3D inversion system that has effectively resolved the problems of static shift and inversion inefficiency. The system contains static shift correction, initial model design and inversion functions. In current practice, seismic reflection technique has always been the preferred method for petroleum exploration, and MT is only an auxiliary method. In this paper, synthetic 3D inversion models are used to confirm that 3D MT is also an effective method for oil and gas exploration.
