AbstractThe integrated application of advanced visualization techniques – validated against outcrop, core and gamma ray log data – was found to be crucial in characterizing the spatial distribution of fluvial facies and their inherent permeability baffles to a centimetre-scale vertical resolution. An outcrop/behind outcrop workflow was used, combining the sedimentological analysis of a perennial deep braided outcrop with ground-penetrating radar profiles, behind outcrop optical and acoustic borehole imaging, and the analyses of dip tadpoles, core and gamma ray logs. Data from both the surface and subsurface allowed the recognition of two main architectural elements – channels and compound bars – and within the latter to distinguish between the bar head and tail and the cross-bar channel. On the basis of a well-constrained sedimentological framework, a detailed characterization of the gamma ray log pattern in the compound bar allowed several differences between the architectural elements to be identified, despite a general cylindrical trend. A high-resolution tadpole analysis showed that a random pattern prevailed in the channel, whereas in the bar head and tail the tadpoles displayed characteristic patterns that allowed differentiation. The ground-penetrating radar profiles aided the 3D reconstruction of each architectural element. Thus the application of this outcrop/behind outcrop workflow provided a solid database for the characterization of reservoir rock properties from outcrop analogues.

Within the ground penetrating radar bandwidth the medium is considered to be an ideal dielectric, which is not always true. Electromagnetic waves reflection coefficient conductivity dependence showed a significant role of the difference in conductivity in reflection strength. It was confirmed by physical modeling. Conductivity of geological media should be taken into account when solving direct and inverse problems, survey design planning, etc. Ground penetrating radar can be used to solve the problem of mapping of halocline or determine water contamination.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) adalah salah satu jenis radar yang digunakan untuk menyelidiki kondisi di bawah permukaan tanah tanpa harus menggali dan merusak tanah. Sistem GPR terdiri atas pengirim (transmitter), yaitu antena yang terhubung ke generator sinyal dan bagian penerima (receiver), yaitu antena yang terhubung ke LNA dan ADC yang kemudian terhubung ke unit pengolahan data hasil survey serta display sebagai tampilan output-nya dan post  processing untuk alat bantu mendapatkan informasi mengenai suatu objek. GPR bekerja dengan cara memancarkan gelombang elektromagnetik ke dalam tanah dan menerima sinyal yang dipantulkan oleh objek-objek di bawah permukaan tanah. Sinyal yang diterima kemudian diolah pada bagian signal processing dengan tujuan untuk menghasilkan gambaran kondisi di bawah permukaan tanah yang dapat dengan mudah dibaca dan diinterpretasikan oleh user. Signal processing sendiri terdiri dari beberapa tahap yaitu A-Scan yang meliputi perbaikan sinyal dan pendektesian objek satu dimensi, B-Scan untuk pemrosesan data dua dimensi  dan C-Scan untuk pemrosesan data tiga dimensi. Metode yang digunakan pada pemrosesan B-Scan salah satunya adalah dengan  teknik pemrosesan citra. Dengan pemrosesan citra, data survey B-scan diolah untuk didapatkan informasi mengenai objek. Pada penelitian ini, diterapkan teori gradien garis pada pemrosesan citra B-scan untuk menentukan bentuk dua dimensi dari objek bawah tanah yaitu persegi, segitiga atau lingkaran.
