BH43-3 Borehole TDEM Probe

The BH43-3 provides three dimensional time domain EM exploration from boreholes, in conjunction with a PROTEM system. Boreholes as deep as 2 km can be surveyed using a PROTEM system with a 500 x 500 m transmitter loop. (At developed mines, the transmitter loop can be laid out in underground workings.)

The probe has three sensors which measure orthogonal components of decay. Along the hole, spatial resolution as fine as one metre can be obtained; the actual measurement interval depends on the desired resolution of the response.

The wide bandwidth of the probe, coupled with the excellent temporal resolution and large dynamic range of the PROTEM system, provides maximum diagnostic information with a high degree of rejection of powerline and other noise sources.

Computer programs for editing, displaying and interpreting BH43-3 responses are supplied with the probe, including a program for calculating all field components in a conductive earth. The BH43-3 probe is available separately, or as a complete borehole system with cable, main winch, dummy probe, test cable and winch, and retrieval tools.
