Abstract
The contribution of integrated geophysical survey methods to site characterization in difficult and challenging environments is extremely valuable to design engineers and planners of new Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) facilities, especially if the site is located in a remote and geologically complex area. In particular, subtropical jungle environments present unique equipment and instrument preparation requirements, field operation problems, and have certain human risk factors that must be taken into account. Qualifying and characterizing jungle sites for installation of an LNG facility is costly, time consuming, and requires the application of a variety of geoscientific investigation methods, including geophysics. In conjunction with geotechnical and other site investigation methods, data from continuous resistivity profiling, seismic refraction tomography, P-S wave downhole seismic, and Wenner sounding surveys are used as an aid the design and planning of an LNG expansion facility located on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea.
