Understanding the geological

significance of electrical resistivity
method is crucial in identifying
potential petroleum reservoirs. The
method provides insights into the
porosity and permeability of rock
formations, aiding in the
assessment
of hydrocarbon potential.
 Data Acquisition

The data acquisition process involves

the use of electrical resistivity surveys
to measure the subsurface resistivity.
This data is then interpreted to
delineate potential petroleum-bearing
formations.
 Interpretation Techniques

Various interpretation techniques are

employed to analyze the electrical
resistivity data and identify potential
petroleum traps. These techniques
include resistivity imaging and 2D/3D
modeling to visualize subsurface
structures.
 Case Studies

Exploring real-world case

studies showcases the successful
application of electrical resistivity
method in identifying and
characterizing petroleum reservoirs.
These studies provide valuable
insights into the method's
effectiveness in the field.
 Conclusion

The electrical resistivity method is a valuable tool

in the exploration of petroleum geology,
providing essential data for locating and
characterizing oil and gas reservoirs. Its
application has significantly contributed to the
understanding of subsurface geological
formations and the assessment of hydrocarbon
potential.
