Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003784

Time-domain electromagnetic (TEM) method, a geophysical technique that involves transmitting a pulsed electromagnetic field into the ground and measuring the transient decay of secondary eddy currents. This method is used to map the electrical conductivity of the subsurface, which can indicate geological features, groundwater, or mineral deposits. TEM surveys are effective in areas with conductive overburden.
