Resistivity and IP
Procedure:
1. Firstly, we need to start the RES2DINV software on our computer.
2. Then, we have to click on ‘File’ option situating on the menu bar. Then we click on ‘Read
Data File’. After that, we need to locate and select the resistivity and IP data files we want to
analyze.
3. Next we have to do is click on ‘Inversion’ option and then click on ‘Carry out Inversion’.
4. After that, we will click on ‘Display’ and select ‘Show Inversion Result’.
5. After that, the Menu Bar will change. Then we click on ‘Display sections’ and again click on
‘Model Display’ option, then click on ‘Choose Resistivity or IP display’ option.
6. After that, we click on ‘Display Resistivity’.
7. Then we click on ‘Display section’ and select ‘Display data and model sections’.
8. Then we will have our required Resistivity 2D model.
9. For IP model, we have to click on ‘Display IP’ which we will do after completing 5 no point.
10. For both IP and Resistivity Model, we have to click on ‘Display IP and resistivity models’
which we will do after completing 5 no point.
(For Topography, firstly we will input Topography data as like we did for resistivity model. Then
we click on ‘Topography options’ and select ‘Display Topography’. Then we will have our
required topography model.)

Discussion: The resistivity and induced polarization (IP) measurements using RES2D software
revealed valuable insights into subsurface properties. Resistivity data identified potential aquifers
and geological structures, while IP data highlighted anomalies indicative of mineral deposits or
hydrocarbon reservoirs. However, data accuracy can be affected by various factors, and further
investigation is needed to validate findings through cross-validation with other geophysical
methods, geological investigations, and improved survey density. The results should be
considered as a starting point for more in-depth studies.
