Articles in Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available Online from 05 November 2024

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2024.14190.2642

Abstract
  Considering the effect of fractures in increasing hydrocarbon recovery, the study of reservoir rock fractures is of particular importance. Fractures are one of the most important fluid flow paths in carbonate reservoirs. Image logs provide the ability to detect fractures and other geological features ...  Read More

Forward Modeling of Frequency-domain Helicopter-borne Electromagnetic Data using an Improved Finite Difference Method

Saeed Nazari; Alireza Arab Amiri; Abolghasem Kamkar Rouhani; Fereydoun Sharifi

Volume 13, Issue 4 , October 2022, , Pages 1067-1089

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2022.11837.2173

Abstract
  In this work, we simulate the frequency-domain helicopter-borne electromagnetic (HEM) data over the two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) earth models. In order to achieve this aim, the vector Helmholtz equation is used to avoid the convergence problems in Maxwell’s equations, and the ...  Read More

Modeling of Induced Polarization and Resistivity Data for Prospecting and Exploration of Polymetallic Deposit in Kaboudan Area, East of Iran

Abstract
  In any geophysical exploration, the final goal is to achieve an accurate image of the relevant underground property. In order to achieve this, the geophysical operation using the electrical resistivity and induced polarization (IP) methods is conducted to explore the sub-surface sulfide mineralization. ...  Read More

An Exploration Model for A Gold Deposit in Kervian Area, Kurdistan Province, Iran, using a Combination of Geophysical Results with Geological Information and Other Exploratory Data

S. Najafi Ghoshebolagh; A. Kamkar Rouhani; A.R. Arab Amiri; H. Bizhani

Volume 12, Issue 2 , April 2021, , Pages 413-424

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2021.10403.1989

Abstract
  As many gold deposits are associated with sulfide zones, and the direct exploration of gold deposits using the geophysical methods is very difficult due to its low amount in the sub-surface, the direct exploration of sulfide zones by the geophysical electrical resistivity and induced polarization (IP) ...  Read More

Using a combination of genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization algorithm for GEMTIP modeling of spectral-induced polarization data

F. Sharifi; A.R. Arab Amiri; A. Kamkar Rouhani

Volume 10, Issue 2 , April 2019, , Pages 493-505

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2019.7902.1655

Abstract
  The generalized effective-medium theory of induced polarization (GEMTIP) is a newly developed relaxation model that incorporates the petro-physical and structural characteristics of polarizable rocks in the grain/porous scale to model their complex resistivity/conductivity spectra. The inversion of the ...  Read More

Detection and determination of groundwater contamination plume using time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) method

S. Moghaddam; S. Dezhpasand; A. Kamkar Rohani; S. Parnow; M. Ebrahimi

Volume 8, Issue 1 , January 2017, , Pages 103-110

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2015.523

Abstract
  Protection of water resources from contamination and detection of the contaminants and their treatments are among the essential issues in the management of water resources. In this work, the time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) surveys were conducted along 7 longitudinal lines in the downstream ...  Read More

Dimensionality analysis of subsurface structures in magnetotellurics using different methods (a case study: oil field in Southwest of Iran)

M. Filbandi Kashkouli; A. Kamkar Rouhani; Ali Moradzadeh; H. Assi

Volume 7, Issue 1 , January 2016, , Pages 119-126

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2016.468

Abstract
  Magnetotelluric (MT) method is an electromagnetic technique that uses the earth natural field to map the electrical resistivity changes in subsurface structures. Because of the high penetration depth of the electromagnetic fields in this method (tens of meters to tens of kilometers), the MT data is used ...  Read More
