1   Introduction
The research proposed herein is a collaborative effort between King-Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals and Schlumberger Dhahran Carbonate Research (SDCR). Our research effort is centered on the integration of surface seismic data with geo-electric data acquired in an area located in the Techno-Valley of KFUPM.  
The basic hypothesis to be tested in this research is whether the distribution of seismic velocities in the near surface can be correlated to resistivity anomalies in the area of study. Our proposed research includes geo-electric and surface (reflection and refraction) seismic data acquisition using resistivity/seismic equipment of KFUPM and seismic equipment of SDCR, respectively. Electrical resistivity and seismic data will be inverted separately. The inverted data will be used to estimate a correlation function between the estimated parameters.
The main objective of the proposed research effort is to estimate the potential relationship between seismic velocities and the distribution of electrical resistivities in the area of study. This relationship might be used to reduce the level of uncertainty in the interpretation of the individual data sets.  

2   Previous Works
In order to provide a better and accurate interpretation of complex geophysical structures (e.g., Salt Dome),  integrated geophysical analysis has become popular in different combinations of geophysical methods as models of gravity-seismic (1; 2; 3) and gravity-resistivity (4).   Since not many research has been conducted to seek correlation between seismic velocity and resistivity, we are motivated to examine The possible  correlation between electrical anomalies and seismic velocities is a current research topic in the geophysical community even though such kind of correlation. This correlation has been reported on literature of deep crustal studies  (5). State-of-the-art technology for resistivity tomography for near surface studies (6; 7) makes promotes conducting a work for seeking to conduct a comparative study of seismic velocity and resistivity.  Nowadays, the use of different geophysical methods to increase the understanding of oil and gas reservoirs is an important trend in the oil industry (CBO, personal communication).

The geo-electrical data by IRIS instrument (Syscal R1 Plus) was acquired in the same area by using an electrode configuration that at some extent samples the subsurface with certain similarity as the seismic data. 

The analysis of resistivity data is performed by software of RES3DINV which is software to use for inversion of resistivity data.
