Abstract
A computer program has been developed to estimate time-domain electromagnetic (EM) responses for a onedimensional model with multiple source and receiver dipoles that are finite in length. The time-domain solution can be obtained by applying an inverse fast Fourier transform (FFT) to frequency-domain fields for efficiency. Frequency-domain responses are first obtained for 10 logarithmically equidistant frequencies per decade, and then cubic spline interpolated to get the FFT input. In the case of phases, the phase curve must be made to be continuous prior to the spline interpolation. The spline interpolated data are convolved with a source current waveform prior to FFT. In this paper, only a step-off waveform is considered. This time-domain code is verified with an analytic solution and EM responses for a marine hydrocarbon reservoir model. Through these comparisons, we can confirm that the accuracy of the developed program is fairly high.
