BENEFITS

Turn field data into subsurface models

Res2DInv and Res3DInv help teams process resistivity and IP survey data into 2D and 3D subsurface models.
A visualization showing the benefits of Res2DInv and Res3DInv, highlighting automated 2D and 3D resistivity inversion models for complex subsurface structures.
  • Run inversions faster

    Run inversion in minutes on a standard laptop and move from raw survey data to interpretable models within hours. 

  • Produce stable models from imperfect data

    Use robust inversion algorithms to work with noisy or incomplete datasets and still generate usable subsurface models. 

  • Support real-world survey conditions

    Handle topography, boreholes, waterborne and streamed electrodes, irregular layouts, and geological or geophysical constraints in a single workflow.

FAQS

Find answers

Resistivity and IP inversion software converts electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and induced polarisation (IP) survey measurements into subsurface models. These models help geoscientists visualise variations in resistivity and chargeability that may be associated with groundwater, contamination, geological structures, or mineralisation. Res2DInv and Res3DInv provide tools for processing, inversion, visualisation, and review of resistivity and IP survey data. 

Res2DInv is designed for 2D ERT and IP inversion workflows. The bundle adds Res3DInv, which extends these capabilities with full 3D inversion, 3D model visualisation, time-lapse inversion for 2D and 3D datasets, vector array support, and large mesh handling. This makes the bundle suitable for projects that require detailed 3D subsurface modelling or long-term monitoring workflows. 

Yes. Res2DInv supports in-field processing and inversion, allowing users to review survey results while data acquisition is still underway. A modern PC with 4 GB RAM or more is sufficient for Res2DInv, making it practical for field-based quality control and early interpretation. This can help identify data issues and support decisions about survey progress before leaving site. 

Res2DInv and Res3DInv support a wide range of survey configurations commonly used in resistivity and IP investigations. These include topography, boreholes, arbitrary electrode locations, electrodes on or in water bodies, streamed electrodes, and cross-borehole surveys. The software also supports combined 2D survey lines for 3D inversion workflows, allowing users to work with complex real-world survey layouts. 

Res2DInv and Res3DInv support data imports from major instrument and industry-standard formats, including .dat, GDD, IRIS, and Zonge formats. Inversion results can be exported to Seequent applications such as Workbench and Oasis montaj, as well as third-party visualization tools including Surfer and ParaView. This helps integrate resistivity and IP data into broader interpretation and reporting workflows. 

Yes. Res2DInv supports time-lapse inversion for 2D surveys, allowing changes between repeated surveys to be analyzed over time. The Res2DInv and Res3DInv bundle extends this capability to both 2D and 3D datasets. Time-lapse workflows can be used to investigate changes associated with groundwater movement, environmental monitoring, geotechnical conditions, and other time-dependent subsurface processes.
