Abstract

Techniques involve determining the conductivity profile of a formation from a well between a surface location and a borehole location. The method involves placing a first sensor at the surface location, a second sensor located at the borehole location, obtaining a first signal by detecting Schumann resonances from the electric field occurring at the first location, obtaining a second signal by detecting Schumann resonances from the electric field occurring at the second location with the second sensor; and combining the first and the second signal to determine the conductivity profile of the formation between the first location and the second location.
