| Abstract | The variation of the apparent resistivity in the subsurface with the depth can be found by resistivity survey results. Also if there are any cavities, geological faults those also can be detected. In this research the effect of the geological fault on the resistivity survey results was investigated using analytical solutions and physical model testing. Calculation of resistivity variation across the fault was done using a Fortan code and Excel program. The calculated resistivity values were compared with the measurements obtained by the tank experiment carried out for two mediums with different resistivity values. Graphs were presented that depicts the variation of the apparent resistivity with distance for each survey line. It was observed that a significant change in the apparent resistivity values can be seen near the vertical fault between the two mediums in all three methods and also there will be insignificant change in the apparent resistivity values when the angle of the survey line is changed from zero to less than 90. |
