Profile Characteristics

Preliminary site properties need geophysical methods to determine it, the same as the large use of the seismic refraction method to detect the layers of soil and the depth reaching the bedrock. This study was conducted to find out the subsurface profile characteristics of a backyard field in UTM, Skudai following the principles of this method. The analysis of seismic data processed using ZondST2D software by determining the first arrival time until we get a block model of 2D shape based on the primary propagation of seismic velocity wave’s in soil layers. It was found that the investigated subsurface profile consists of four layers showing the level of weathering grade ranges from 600–4000 m/s based on the classification of rock mass in Malaysia. It was found that weathering rates decreased at higher depth, with the increase of density for the material and dampness reduction of seismic velocity. It was concluded that the survey of seismic refraction in development can be used only for shallow subsurface profiles and far from noise and disturbance.

Abstract Geophysical studies can be utilized adequately to decide the land, hydro geographical and geotechnical properties of the ground mass in which the designing development is occurring. The investigation must be given to the contractor to ensure the information related to soil or to predict the type of equipment to be used and to estimate productivity and cost. This article examined how integrated geophysical methods were carried out for the determination of the degree of fracturing and rigidity of rock mass. Data were collected from different case studies in which comparison is there between different types of methods suited for different type of evaluations. In this paper, methods involved for the explorations are seismic refraction method, electrical resistivity method, magnetic and gravity method for oil explorations. The authors found that gravity and magnetic are best suited methods for the oil sand exploration and because of the high acceptance of designing a lot latest applications expected in future. The techniques used in these methods are relatively cheap and fast finding in comparison to other methods.
