DC Resistivity Survey in Oman

This groundwater exploration project was carried out in a remote wadi in the Sultanate of Oman using DC resistivity equipment. The main aim of the survey was to map the thickness of the alluvial cover and identify any buried palaeochannels that could serve as drill targets.

Special provisions had to be taken to overcome the high contact resistance of the dry alluvial sediments, and protect the equipment in temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius.
