Abstract：1D forward modeling of marine electromagne-tic (MCSEM) data shows that both frequency-domain data and time-domain data have certain limitations when using a horizontal electric dipole as the emission source in shallow water. In order to better use MCSEM for offshore oil and gas exploration,we have acquired frequency-domain and time-domain data at the same time based on the idea of the time-frequency electromagnetic (TFEM) method used on land. We achieve 1D joint inversion of time-domain and frequency-domain electromagnetic data with the regularization inversion method. According to our model data tests,for a deep reservoir model with 300 m water depth,inverted frequency-domain data can show reservoir location and resistivity,but additional time-domain data cannot improve resolution; for a deep reservoir model with 100m water depth,joint inversion results are better than that of a single domain data set.
