Investigation of Geothermal Using Magnetotelluric Method in Babakan Bogor, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia

DOI:10.17014/ijog.8.2.221-231 Bengkulu Province, due to be crossed by Bukit Barisan Mountains has relatively large geothermal reserves. This study aims investigate the reserves in Babakan Bogor Village, Kepahiang Regency, Province. The magnetotelluric (MT) method with electric and magnetic sensors was used record data fields. sensor consisted of three porous pots, two which were placed horizontally (Ex, Ey) other one vertically (Ez) as ground. Magnetic coils (Hx, Hy) (Hz). obtained field are form rock resistivity values correlated potential, so that reservoir could determined. Data recording fields low frequencies, i.e. 128 Hz. processing done using MAPROS software convert time-series EDI file types. Input is apparent vs. depth values. Furthermore, an inversion carried out obtain true value output software. ZONDMT1 ZONDMT2 model dimension (1D) dimensions (2D). results showed there at a 1,500 5,000 m.
