Initial exploration of Hydrocarbon resources by Gravity Data: A Case Study in the South of Qom Province, Iran

Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN NATURAL SCIENCES - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

Geophysical methods widely used in oil and gas exploration. Modeling of gravity data is used extensively to illustrate the geometry and interface between the sediments and bedrock. Which can help the salt dome, anticline folds, dome-shaped uplift of the continental platform and reef masses to be identified. There are various methods to illustrate the bedrock topography, and we will describe one of these methods in present paper. Using the upward continuation, we extract the residual gravity anomaly which in fact shows the local effect of bedrock gravity on the observed gravity. Then, according to the Oldenburg - Parker method, the residual gravity data are inversed and finally the 3D geometry the bedrock is illustrated. It should be noted that some software's like Surfer and Excel are used in this research but the program main code is written using Matlab programming.
