System and method for mapping and monitoring reservoirs by electromagnetic crosswell and optimizing production

Abstract

A technological solution for locating and evaluating resistive targets in a space between a pair of wellbores, at least one of which includes a metallic casing. The solution includes injecting an electric current into the metallic casing of one of the pair of wellbores to energize the metallic casing as a dipole transmitter and leak the current into a formation to form variable electric fields; detecting inside the other wellbore of the pair, by an electric field receiver, the variable electric fields; and measuring, by the electric field receiver, the variable electric fields as a function of time; and generating a resistivity map of the formation based on the measurements of the variable electric fields.
