Subandino Foled Belt, BoliviaThis unique MT & TDEM project (by the time of completion -
the largest in Latin America) has been carried out in 2017 by Nord-West Ltd. in cooperation with Bolpegas SRL under a contract with the Bolivian national oil & gas company YPFB. The main goal was to understand better the geological structure of the sedimentary basin and petroleum system in the two study areas: Subandino Sur and Subandino Norte.
In order to acquire
3628 MT and 1130 TDEM records in less than 1 year Nord-West has brought to Bolivia more than 50 experienced field data operators and used the unprecedented number of 54 sets of MT instrumentation at once. The field logistics included off-road, ferry, helicopter and boat transportation, as well as long-distance foot marching and setting remote camps in the jungle. The employed technology incuded broadband MT data acquisition in the period range from 0.0001 to 1000 s. The data were acquired about 14 –20 h (overnight) for better quality.
