Integration of electric and magnetic fields near wells

The authors propose the method for studying electric and magnetic fields near oil and gas well. The determination of the electrical parameters of the soil near well allows choosing the optimal method of electrical protection. This is especially relevant in the presence of a "black insert" extending from a well. The results of the study and the adoption of an appropriate technical solution allow extending the period of trouble-free operation at the "black insert" section. The pipeline condition is monitored by pipeline magnetometry. (paper)
