EMIGMA Premium and Professional Series

EMIGMA for FEM

The FEM package supports Ground and Borehole (Premium) or Near-Surface (Professional) FEM and is available as a standalone product or as an add-on to other Premium or Professional series licenses.

Contoured apparent resistivity

Ground FEM allows for various survey configurations. Coil pairs can be horizontal coplanar (EM31/34/38,Gem2, AEM, Max-Min), vertical coplanar (EM31/34/38,Gem2), horizontal co-axial (AEM), broadside co-axial (fixed-wing AEM, EM38), null-coupled (DualEM), vertical co-axial plus virtually any configuration that you may desire. The transmitter and receiver can be housed in the same case or separated by 10s to 100s of meters. Depending on the system, single or multiple frequencies are sampled. Borehole FEM includes both fixed and moving configurations. The transmitter is either a large loop set on the surface ground with the receiver moved in the borehole or a dipole moved along with a 3-component receiver in the same borehole at a constant separation. The cross-hole configuration is also available.

Borehole configurations are available only in the Premium Version

Unlimited Survey Size with Premium! 50,000 data points per survey with Professional!
