Geothermal Exploration Services
Quantec Geoscience leverages advanced geophysical technologies to support geothermal exploration by providing high-resolution subsurface imaging. Our systems detect resistivity related to key geothermal indicators such as heat flow, permeability zones, and fluid pathways, enabling precise resource targeting. By integrating geophysical data with geological models, we deliver actionable insights to optimize site selection, reduce risk, and accelerate project timelines
SPARTAN MT for deep accurate resistivity mapping
Geophysics is key to geothermal exploration, using electrical data to map and monitor reservoirs by measuring subsurface resistivity, susceptibility, and density. These methods identify and develop resources reliably, cost-effectively, and sustainably, building reservoir models through geological and geophysical techniques.
How MT is used in Geothermal Exploration?
Magnetotellurics (MT) is a non-invasive, versatile method for subsurface imaging, effective in any climate or terrain. It maps resistivity anomalies to identify geothermal structures like cap rock, faults, and reservoirs, distinguishing fluid-filled from dry rocks, and detecting alterations like clay.
The Magnetotelluric (MT) Method
SPARTAN MT is a passive electromagnetic system that maps subsurface resistivity by measuring natural telluric currents caused by lightning, solar flares, and ionospheric activity. It captures variations in electrical and magnetic fields at the surface to image geology in 3D, reaching depths of 10,000m and beyond. Low-frequency signals originate from solar wind interactions, while high-frequency signals come from global thunderstorms. Longer measurement times at each station ensure high-quality data for deeper investigations, with resistivity models providing insights into subsurface structures
