AGI EarthImager™ 2D is a two-dimensional inversion modeling software for affordable resistivity and induced polarization (IP) imaging. It interprets data collected by the SuperSting™ Wi-Fi in just a few clicks, including parallel boreholes or on a surface line.

The data set, collected using SuperSting™ Wi-Fi earth resistivity imaging instruments, is processed into a 2D cross-section of the earth. The processed data can be output to various types of files and can be processed into reports ready for submission to the client.

Any array or mixed data from Schlumberger, Pole-Pole, Pole-Dipole, Dipole-Dipole, or Wenner electrode arrays are possible to invert. A special “Survey Planner” allows the user to enter a geological model and run a virtual survey and then invert the virtual data to see if the objective of the survey can be met.

Watch how easy it is to process ERI data using AGI EarthImager™ 2D:

Use Cases:

EarthImager™ 2D is for use in geotechnical and geologic industries, including the following applications:

• Cave and void detection

• Depth-to-bedrock mapping

• Ground water exploration

• Mineral exploration

• Mapping environmental spills

• Monitoring environmental cleanup progress

• Aggregate mapping

Determining the best location for a well in a rural, underdeveloped area—so the individuals in the surrounding area have access to safe and clean drinking water—is an excellent use of the EarthImager™ 2D. Drilling is expensive and drill maintenance is even more so, so if an non-governmental organization (NGO) decides to drill a new well, they need to know with certainty where to place it. By using EarthImager™ 2D, the ground water exploration team can create a tomogram that shows where the best location for a producing well is.

• Data misfit scatter plot and cross-plot.

• Reversal and horizontal shift of a profile.

• High-definition report quality plat-style printout.

• Batch inversion of many data files.

• Borehole command creator for AGI SuperSting™ instruments.
