Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The results of electrical exploration carried out using the method of magnetotelluric sounding at a deposit in Western Kazakhstan are presented. Based on processing and interpretation of the electrometric data, a digital geoelectric model of the exploration area is developed and a geoelectric section of the test profile is constructed. It is shown that MT soundings, along with a seismic survey and well-log data, can be effectively used to define a geological structure and to identify prospective oil-and-gas bearing segments in Mesozoic terrigeneous-sedimentary complexes.
