Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data collected adjacent to Blacktail Creek in June 2017 near Williston, North Dakota, USA
In June 2017, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected geophysical measurements to help map variations in electrical properties to infer shallow flowpaths and storage zones influenced by residual spilled unconventional oil and gas (UOG). Two survey profiles were collected, each including dipole-dipole and Wenner-Schlumberger configurations. For each survey a total of 56 electrodes spaced 1.0 meter (m) apart were used. During the ERT measurement, current is injected through two current electrodes and voltage is measured sequentially across multiple pairs of potential electrodes; the known current and the measured voltages are used to determine the apparent resistivity of the subsurface. Inverse modeling of ERT survey results provide profiles of resistivity that can be interpreted for subsurface layers. This data release provides the raw ERT data and output from inversion.
