Abstract

Inversion of enhanced-sensitivity controlled source electromagnetic data can include approximating a background response from measured controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) response data. The approximation can include performing a first inversion of the CSEM response data using a largest singular value in a diagonal of a matrix associated with the CSEM response data to create a first resistivity model of a subsurface of a subterranean formation and iteratively performing subsequent inversions while increasing an amount of singular values in the diagonal to obtain modeled CSEM response data to create a second resistivity model of the subsurface of the subterranean formation. Inversion of enhanced-sensitivity controlled source electromagnetic data can further include storing results of the first inversion and the iterative subsequent inversions producing a resistivity map based on the first and the second resistivity models.
