AB  - The physics of explorative electromagnetic methods for discovering hydrocarbon reservoir was
reviewed. The shortcomings of each method were listed to seek how to improve its efficiency. Maxwell’s
postulates or equations apply to all electromagnetic methods of exploration and have enjoyed several years
of successes. However, the common challenge of noise levels had undermined the accuracy of electromagnetic
methods. We propose that the noise level is due to multiple particulates interaction that attenuates signals. This
challenge can be solved by considering the quantum mechanics of the interacting particles. Seven new
electromagnetic postulates/equations have been enacted from literature and four of the postulates-tested.
Hence, the applicability of the postulates has been affirmed. Therefore if the computer codes of some of the
postulates are developed it may resolve problems relating to noise and improve the efficiency of the methods
for geological exploration.
