Evaluation of gravity anomalies by direct interpretation techniques: an application from hasankale-horasan region

Abstract

In this study, by using Normalized Full Gradyant (NFG), Andreev-Griffin variation and statistical methods, gravity data were evaluated. The influences of hydrocarbon existence on theoretical anomalies were produced by performing analytical downward continuation of the NFG field. With performing Andreev-Griffin variation and statistical methods, the affect of existence of hydrocarbons on curvature of theoretical anomalies was observed. In the study area, Hasankale-Horasan, along the one profile measured gravity data were processed and interpreted by NFG, Andreev-Griffin variation and statistical methods. As a result of this study, by using NFG, Andreev-Griffin variation and statistical methods, potential hydrocarbon existence areas along the profile have been identified.
