Abstract

See full text

A method for evaluating measured electromagnetic (EM) data relating to a subsurface region, comprising the steps of: (a) specifying alternative models of the region in terms of input parameters with uncertainty; (b) receiving the measured EM data and an estimated error; and (c) carrying out a Bayesian inversion on the measured data using each of the alternative models to attribute a probability to each model on the basis of the measured data and estimated error. The method allows physical measurements with error to be translated into fundamental parameters which can be used to assess business risk and uncertainty for making decisions, and also provides for parameters and models which can typically be directly estimated by a geoscientist on a coarse spatial grid to be used as an input, and validated using the measured data with error.
