In the study, we present an efficient absorbing boundary domain technique whose main application is the 3D finite element (FE) modelling of the so-called controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) data, collected for the geophysical exploration. The developed technique is based on the real-value exponentially-stretched coordinates. We have implemented the developed technique using the user-defined PML tool available in the COMSOL Multiphysics RF Module. In the article, we evaluate its performance through several examples of the marine CSEM data.
