Services
Best outcomes from magnetotelluric surveying come from deep knowledge of the method. Starting with survey design then cost-effective acquisition followed by robust processing and response analysis leading to multi-dimensional modelling and inversion from which geology-constrained interpretations can be made.
Acquisition
CMTS conducts high-quality MT surveys world-wide using state-of-the-art equipment. Our acquisition team has extensive experience in planning and executing MT projects for mineral, geothermal, and oil and gas exploration as well as for imaging structure at crustal or lithospheric-scale depths.

CMTS applies a variety of techniques to assess the quality and reliability of the transfer function estimates including the analysis of:
Statistical significance and reliability
Internal consistency using a robust algorithm
Galvanic distortion effects
Dimensionality
Directionality
Non-uniform source fields

CMTS generates the highest quality Earth conductivity models in 1-, 2-, or 3-dimensional space from magnetotelluric data.
The 3D inversion algorithm has been employed in many academic and industry projects. The novel 3-D inversion code, unique to CMTS, handles topography, distortion from near-surface small-scale inhomogeneities, and data acquired by distributed array systems, and can be modified to suit specific needs. The 3D inversion code can now handle magnetotlluric (MT) Z-axis tipper electromagnetic (ZTEM) and mobile magnetotelluric (MMT) data, separately and simultaneously.
Interpretation
CMTS delivers detailed interpretation reports that incorporate all available geological and geophysical information that include maps, cross-sections and discussion of geological structure and tectonic implications.
