L&T Hydrology Campaign

A 1,100 km² airborne EM and GPR campaign across Al-Qassim and Hail — delineating seven productive aquifer zones and ranking drill targets to eliminate dry-hole risk.

01 · BRIEF

Water security under pressure

L&T faced a familiar challenge: agricultural and industrial demand was outpacing the productivity of existing wells in Al-Qassim and Hail, but new boreholes were being drilled with unacceptably high dry-hole rates. Desktop interpretation of regional geology was no longer sufficient.

02 · APPROACH

Resistivity contrast at depth

TDEM surveys at 200 m line spacing built 3D resistivity models penetrating to 400 m+. Where TDEM identified high-priority targets, follow-up GPR provided shallow-aquifer detail. Both datasets were co-registered and inverted using full-waveform algorithms calibrated against existing well logs.

03 · OUTCOME

Zero dry-hole encounters

Seven productive aquifer zones were delineated with depth-to-water estimates, expected yield, and recommended drill coordinates. The follow-up drilling campaign confirmed all seven targets — a complete elimination of dry-hole risk versus the regional baseline of 30-40% dry-hole rates.
