Abstract

The Controlled-Source Electromagnetic (CSEM) method is one of the electromagnetic methods utilized in geophysical exploration. This method provides a subsurface image through the resistivity anomalies of materials encountered by electromagnetic waves. The research area is located near a major city, resulting in high electromagnetic noise. Electromagnetic noise can be categorized into two types of the noise namely periodic noise and sporadic noise. Eliminating noise is a crucial objective to enhance data quality, as it can introduce uncertainty into interpretations. Three noise removal techniques are employed: pre-stack to filter the harmonic noise, stacking to remove the sporadic noise, and post-stack for smoothing. The CSEM data used consists of signals in the time domain with a 10-second period and a 50% duty cycle. The results of applying these noise removal techniques indicate that all three methods are highly effective in noise reduction. The pre-stack technique can remove periodic noise, while sporadic noise is addressed by the stacking technique, and signal smoothing can be achieved using the poststack technique.
