Application of 3D Inversion for Large Volumes of Magnetotelluric Data

Resumo

Two applications of 3D inversion of magnetotelluric data using the Lomonosov supercomputer are discussed. The effectiveness of the chosen inversion approach for several real geological objects is demonstrated. Each object belongs to a different class of task, from the search for small ore bodies to regional exploration of hydrocarbons. However, these objects are united by the large volume of measurements, whose inversion requires a huge amount of time and computational resources. Application of 3D inversion using a high-performance computing system allows high-quality solutions to be obtained for a wide range of problems in an acceptable time period.
