China successfully developed a magnetotelluric sounder to assist in energy exploration

[China Instrument Network Instrument R&D] On December 29th, 2017, the reporter learned from the Hubei Provincial Department of National Defense Engineering and the 722th Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. that the magnetotelluric detector developed by the CSRC 722 Institute has passed recently. Acceptance by the acceptance team consisting of experts from Hubei Provincial Science and Technology Department, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), Seismological Research Institute of China Seismological Bureau and other units.

According to reports, this project is a Hubei science and technology plan project. Experts in the acceptance group believe that this project has developed core components such as high-performance magnetic sensors, high-stability, low-noise receivers, and low-power portable transmitters, and developed an engineering and practical earth-earth sounding instrument with technical indicators. Reached or surpassed the requirements of the project task book, at the same time achieved market sales and achieved better economic benefits.

The acceptance team experts also believe that this project has greatly shortened the technological gap between our country and the international advanced magnetotelluric detection system, breaking the monopoly of foreign companies in our country, and increasing the domestic users' choice space for the domestic magnetotelluric exploration system. The development of industrialization has created new opportunities, and more importantly, it has laid a good foundation for fundamentally changing the situation of long-term dependence on imports.

The relevant person in charge of the 722 Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. said that the MT detector that passed the acceptance test can be widely used in geological exploration, energy exploration, deep sea exploration and other fields, and has now entered the market.
